Any of you guys running RCE Tarmac 2's? I just bought some and will be installing them this weekend. I'm going to start out with RCE's recommended settings and go from there. Just curious what settings you guys might be using to get some ideas for further tweaking.

No we didn't. Don't think it's an advantage even if that's what he had.

Looking at these myself. A local friend runs them on his STX FRS, which I have driven, and they seemed like they worked well (not that I would know much different having only driven his STX FRS, ridden in others with KW v3's).

Don't have setup info for ya unfortunately

Reporting back in on MCS.

Mine, like others, are a bit clunky over slow-speed rough pavement. I did send them an email to ask about it this morning but haven't heard anything.

Not super jazzed on that but the ride quality is very very good. Not disappointed at all.

Remotes or non-remotes? Any autox yet? Sorry if already answered previously...

Single non remotes.

Yeah, took the car to my bullshit local event and had top raw/top pax for the day lol. It means nothing, but I love the car at autox and the ride quality is excellent all around.

Just a bit noisy on the street.

"Oh noes, my racecar parts on my street car are too loud" -- first world problems like whoa.

I can handle some noise for a smooth ride.

Well, for a variety of reasons it looks like I will be making the jump to STX from CS after this winter!

I'd been planning to go with a full CS TRD build, but then I got a good deal on one of my two sets of dream wheels for this car and will be getting a great deal on coilovers too.

Wheels are going to be 17x8 +35 RS Watanabe F8s
Coilovers are SACHS Performance

Looking forward to being slow in a different class next year!

Whats the adjustment at? My Feals are the same way if the dampening isn't turned just a few clicks shy of full stiff.

Good point -- I am a couple clicks off full soft.

I've been meaning to turn it up to at least to the half way mark and see a) how it rides and b) how it sounds.
