I want to try them, but the Bridgestone and BFGs are proven. The acura in STF made them work well at Nats, but it's a bit of an unknown.

I had a set and they are a fine tire. Fronts rubbed on TRD lowering springs for me until I added longer studs and a 1/4" spacer.

Dave was on 225/45s.

I got 42mm offset wheels hoping that will clear the spring. Fingers crossed! Dave said he was on the 225's. Its hard to argue that tire but I figured I would try them and see. I will kill a set of tires trying to learn the car anyways. haha

Question for you guys. Can you run crash bolts in the front and if so where can you get them? I went to the parts department and it looks like they just offer one size.

Thanks!

Part #s are on the first page of this thread.

Doh! Thank you!!! I get the newbie fail award!

This may or may not have been answered, but I wanted confirmation before ordering. I recently discovered a leaking front shock on the FRS and was looking at Koni vs Bilstein's for replacements. I have the TRD springs on the FRS, and was looking at the B8's designed for lowered springs. Are these C-stock compliant or are they illegal. Thanks

B6 would be the Street legal versions.

So, without getting into the really expensive set-ups Koni's are the way to go for the TRD springs or will the B6's work despite being designed for the stock springs.

Is the largest bar setup for CS the TRD rear (and sell the front) and the Whiteline 22mm adjustable (for good balance)?

[Biggins]

The car I drove recently had the Hotchkis 25mm front bar. It was pushier than what I have on my car now (19mm), but we were both pretty quick on a slalom/transition intensive course. I like my car pretty loose, so when I add the rear bar and springs, I'm going to at least try an event with the 19mm on the stiffer setting. I suspect I'll end up putting the TRD bar on the front after some testing. I don't think you will have any problems with a 22mm bar though.

B6's will work fine, as they seem to be the preferred choice to pair with RCE springs, if I remember correctly.

Koni's are the go-to budget build shocks. Personally, I do not think they have enough rebound, but what do I know. At least you can get them revalved by ProParts for moar shock force.
