Then again i'm planning on getting an alignment at Westend but not sure if you want to share your specs and i'm not sure if I want such an aggressive alignment.

Currently -3.0 front, -2.4 rear, 0 toe all around. -1.4" drop; rear camber was attained via drop only.

I don't think West End will allow you to walk out with that alignment though... (it's a "loose" alignment and they won't do it for your safety, unless they know you're experienced and/or you absolutely insist)

We'd be more than happy to put our tires on your car for testing to remove that variable.

Eibach has made trd suspension parts for over 20 years!

We're running -3.0 front, -2.6 rear, 0 toe all around, -1.75" drop front, -1.4" drop rear.

Once we got the real bump dialed on the clubsports, the car handles loose, but is very controllable for an experienced driver. We'd recommend some toe in on each side to help stabilize the car. We're hoping to settle the car down a little with spring rates.

I got 500/650 springs for R2. I'm sure the stock 275/350 rates will be fine at the track.

What rates are you running?

Obviously your suspension is completely different than OEM, but just curious.

robispec · 04-23-2013, 01:32 AM

modified KW's higher hydralic compression resistance and the front springs are 7Kg rears 8Kg these are on a car 250 lbs lighterwith a 3" lower cg and raised roll center so we dont lean over and keep the weight more equally distributed on the 4 corners than stock...and imo they are right at the limit of how soft you can go

you try that

Jackson what kind of pricing are we looking at for the R2's with springs. Is there a "homie hook up" price for form members? I have friends in the industry and I am almost positive I can get a sweet deal on these. Feel free to PM me a response if its too sensitive. Thanks yo.

I would recommend going through one of the forum vendors or people you know that can get these. The pricing will really vary and the MSRP price almost means nothing when you start getting quotes or shopping online. Also, we don't sell direct at Eibach and have to send people to our distribution and dealers.

If you have any questions just PM me.
