Right now the compression and rebound are at the #8 settings, which is 8 from the softest setting. Last edited by BRZranger; 02-12-2013 at 01:16 PM. |

I've noticed that since lowering the car, stiffening suspension and running with stock tires, turns I used to take with predictable oversteer are now unexpected under steer. Not totally surprised knowing that primacy tires are low grip. Definitely more cautious on turns with these tires.
Looking forward to my new wheels and tires on Monday! |

Looking good man. What tint% do you have? You should also think about tinting out your side markers.

I would like to add that I bought these wheels from Custom Wheels Outlet (CWO) on eBay (http://stores.ebay.com/customwheeloutlet). I received the wheels without hubcentric rings. I called CWO and spoke with Nate, who is shipping me free TSW Hubcentric rings. Nate was knowledgable and nice, will definitely be doing business with them again. CWO also had a killer deal on these wheels on eBay and they shipped quickly via UPS.
FYI, if you purchase from CWO, call them and let them know what car you have so they can add the hubcentric rings with your purchase. |

Give this thread a read. It should give you some good direction when fine tuning your coilover setup to get some of that predictability back. I think a little bit more overall ride height and an alignment would definitely be beneficial. |

After installing the new wheel/tires, stiffened the rear suspension slightly, added some negative camber to front tires, it is more predictable and neutral steering. I haven't gotten an alignment yet because my hubcentric rings are coming in (didn't come with the wheels), so I am sure it will only improve handling. I'll write up a follow up after hubcentric are installed and wheels aligned. Thanks! Last edited by BRZranger; 02-12-2013 at 01:18 PM. |
