Honestly, I have the compression about midway through the adjustments and it feels just like stock if only marginally stiffer. I haven't put a lot of time on them yet but they really feel very plush. Smoother than the v1's I had on my wrx.

Im pretty jealous of your 8.5's ! My CH-R's are only 8.0 wide.
How much do the 18x8.5's weigh? Myles |

Your wheels look amazing Myles! Nothing to be jealous of! I believe Ro Ja is right, they're in the neighbor hood of 18lbs. I really wanted to keep the weight down on the wheels if possible since the car isn't a torque monster to begin with. I just lucked out that the fitment was pretty spot on. Still waiting for the coils to settle but the initial alignment worked out to be 1.6 degrees camber in the front and about 1.9 in the back. Not a terrible starting point with stock top hats. |

Thanks Mike, you're definitely right about the BRZ being easier to drive than the s2k at the limit! I had an AP1, the BRZ feels like it always gives me an extra second to correct and over steer where as the s2k would just fully rotate.
