Racecomp Tarmac II Clubsport coilover - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Rates will be 400/400 with optional 500/500 or 400/450.

Same lifetime warranty all of our Tarmac II's have had since we started working with KW back in 2006 on private label/ co branded products.

Expect 4 weeks from now or less.

I have found them very streetable with STI group-n fronts and oem rears. I got -2.6 front camber on oem crash bolts. +6.7 caster too.

Camber plates yes would allow much more, but would introduce some NVH too.

Just a thought.

Can you explain the philosophy behind the rates that were chosen? Were they chosen for the daily driver/weekend racer in mind? I noticed 2/3 rates are 1:1. Whats the reasoning behind the 400/450 rate? Is it to make the rear a little more "loose"?

The OPTIONAL 400/450 is there for those who prefer that. Yes MANY like and prefer that split of having 50lbs more in the rear. I will admit I feel that "thinking" on some's behalf is from the Impreza( 08-2013) crowd.

We are using EQUAL (400/400) as the standard rates to ship with. The car is very neutral with equal rates we have found at the limit. Solid tire temps running Michelins at -2.6 and -2.0(front to rear) . Hoosiers will require more front camber.

But some autocrossers like more rear rate. Some prefer the "loose" tail. Some will keep rear bar stock and use a HUGE front bar and yet still increase rear rates. Its not what I prefer but I'm not an autocrosser anymore either.

Pre-ordered my set last week! Decided to go with camber plates for maximum adjustment flexibility.

Getting very excited to install these on the weekend! What is the lowest recommended drop on the Tarmac II's?

Any info on shock dynos comparing the STD V3s to these units? Really close to pulling the gun on these...
