I have purchased MCA Reds and the suspension knowledge and quality are fantastic....

Machined Camber spacers that grub screw lock in are a great idea and the roller bearing spring tops are awesome with collard to locate the drooping springs when you raise the car.

Just a few things that I liked about them.

I'll definitely be going with MCA. As an Australian its good to deal with local companies - as much for post-sales support as anything else. Besides, MCA have a fantastic reputation for their Gold series so I'm sure the Red & Blue will be great.

I've only has the car about 10 days (although it's already had its first track outing to Sandown in Melbourne). The plan is to do one more track day, get a better feel for what I like / don't like, and then talk to MCA about the best setup from there.

Mine arrived yesterday. Will take some pictures of the install for those interested. Hopefully in the weekend

so i didn't really take many shots during the install, i couldn't see the point, they were just so easy to put in i had all four done by myself in less than 2 hours.

If anyone wants particular shot then let me know...

it turned out like this....
just under 20mm drop at the front
maybe 25 ish on the rear, i reckon it sits pretty well now and the 9 inch front look like they are supposed to be there now with 1.5 degrees of camber...
any lower and it will be illegal here.

More important than the pictures what are your driving impressions?

[86•BRZ]

yep good point, haven't really driven it yet sadly... i was really crook yesterday when i put them in (but forced myself to), finished and aligned just in time to pick up the kids, then pretty much passed out once they were asleep,
worked today and grabbed a couple of quick shots as promised, I will have a proper drive on the weekend.
first impressions were that the ride is completely liveable... there is little dive in the front now under braking... the car seemed a little less darty on the freeway but that may just be the toe. I wanted it like that anyway... as for cornering balance, I don't know yet and who knows if I could really tell but it certainly holds its line well.
Hoping to find our more at a skid pan event next month

Would you say liveable but noticeably firmer?

P.s. car looks good with the wheels and drop

Exactly. The damping is good. It doesn't crash over bumps.

Sounds good! These are def on my wish list. Would you mind doing updates once you have some more kms on them?
