Wut?!?

Raise that sucker up!

The helper is there to just help with droop; it should be compressed at rest.

Did you get your spring change done yet for tomorrow??

Yup, that explains his issues on the track. Raise it up and enjoy the travel!

Ill have to look again... I believe it only compressed after we raised the car up... When it was slammed it wasnt compressed. Im putting the 400/500 and everything else done today

I wanted to stance out my frs for a car show with the R2's, but now that im reading this, im having 2nd thoughts.

Keep in mind that @RAWR BRZ is bottoming out at the track. Are you ever going to track your stanced show car?

@RAWR BRZ - Thanks for your impressions! I read the section about your ride height being so low you were on the b.stops. What final ride height to you think you'll end up with or did end up with?

+1 on suspension travel!

When i track it, i'll raise it of course. I dont want to see shreds of my lip in my rear view miror. I drift and track the car, but mostly DD.

The thing about raising and lowering these cars is that the alignment gets all wacky. The alignment doesn't seem to be as tolerant to height changes from what i've noticed.

$0.02.

1.5" drop is enough huh?

That's normal, I meant if they were compressed completely at droop than you may not need them. We were talking about very high rates, etc.

2".. wow.. you can't have much bump travel in the rear at that height.

I'm not sure the R2's are the best choice for a stanced show car really.

I'm guessing if he really wanted to do the show car and track. He could get it aligned with the helper springs and take them out when he goes to car shows?

Btw I asked a Eibach rep about the spring sizes and he said 6 front and 7 rear. He advised not to swap them.

Told you

He can do a lot of things, but he might be better off with some of the coilovers designed for large drops. I'm assuming some of them have additional shock travel for that reason (I could be wrong of course in that assumption).
