It all off now, I was preparing the car for FR shootout, and FRS event that you will probably be able to read about later.

The event I was trying to setup for and the reason behind all the stickers.

The car feel great with the setup that I have, but the modification was a very street setup compared to other which half of the FR were trailer in. I felt I was thrown into a lion's den. There was a FRS shootout which I will have pictures and it was nice to know I had RevSpeed editor drive my car and and he races competitively in JGTC so it was in good hands. Nice meeting you Moto. It was great day and a lot fun.

More pictures will be up and I know Moto or someone will post pictures, but here one for now.

Didn't they have something smaller I mean I know they gave you free parts, but damn.

How do you like the coilovers vs springs?

I didn't really mind, since it there event and I am just along for the ride. I just really enjoy the track time, I haven't been on for a long time.

For track the coilovers are a lot better of course compared to springs with stock shocks. You can make a lot more adjustments to your driving style and the conditions of different track. The only real downside is normally ride, maintenance, and cost

I hope you guys don;t mind a copy and paste... I have some pictures of Eibach Multipro R1 and front and rear sway bars. The guys from Eibach are very happy with their work and tell me the car fundamental characteristic hasn't been change just improve. The sway bar are front and rear, but currently it only rear adjustable because the front is under revision. I haven't been able to really drive to give honest feedback yet. Here some pictures.

The stance is XXR 530 18x8.75 with +35 offset all around I think, but I have to double check. I am running Hankook tires with staggered fitment, have the specification later. Also I was going to run my new Perrin FRS/BRZ front liscense plate holder, but I was afraid someone might steal it. I will put it on for the show, right now as you can see it just staging.

What size tires are on these?
