I would also take bump travel in to consideration, RCE coilovers have 142mm total shock travel up front and 108mm in the rear, Fortune auto 117 front 100 rear, 949 racing 145mm front, 115mm rear.

Sorry been traveling without my laptop and my phone gives me allll the ads on this forum.

We've got one dude that switched to SSRs (with custom rates, softer than our standard) from FA 510s with a lot of good feedback. I've not had a chance to try the FA 2-ways, just seen some shock dynos.

A 3 way like our SSRs can be really useful, but it is another layer of complexity. You would have a baseline and support, with the ability to tweak on top of that...but also could spend too much time fiddling when you don't need to. It is fun though and SSRs have plenty of spring rate head room if you get some real big aero and need it. They're really good stuff...tons of travel, great valving, plus the adjustability.

A 2 way like the RCE T2s is a lot more simple. Still a lot of control, but it's easier. And SS2s are essentially plug and go play.

Lemme know if you have more questions or send us a message or call to chat with Myles.

Xidas are now special order, not pre-made and in stock. Probably the best overall OTS coiover for the 86 but just too expensive to make for this market segment. We are developing a much lower cost solution with most of the same features for late 2025, Tecna.

I have SS1 with 6/6 springs and I support a person that runs T4 class (region champion) with MCS with 10/12k springs, both are really good.
If you want to be competitive I would suggest or RCE T2 with 7/9k (or better, weight your car and calculate the frequencies required based on weight, tires and aero) or going MCS, with the advantage that rce coilover is much easier to get the setup right.

Note: I mention to weight the car do decide the spring rates as you are kswapped and eliminated rear seats
