I moved mine to the negative camber orientation now and same thing. Torqued everything to spec except for the strut nut because I don’t have a strut nut socket that’ll work with my torque wrench. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm moving closer and closer to going into NASA TT5 (HPDE 4 currently) and want to upgrade from the stock suspension before making the move to time trial.
CSG Mike posted this Questionnaire and figured I'd use it to make things easier - What your experience level is: HPDE 4/ about 2 years track time with the BRZ and 3 years of kart racing before that - What wheel sizes (size, offset) are on the car: 17x8 +42 TC105X - What tires (type, size) are being used on the car: 225/45/17 Hankook RS4, may switch to similar-size Maxxis RC1 or Toyo RR in time trial - What kind of car balance you are looking to achieve: Trying to keep the car similar balance to stock/ RCE swaybars currently, may go back to stock rear - If there is Aero on the car: No aero/ may in the future - If there is FI on the car: No FI - If there are already supporting suspension mods on the car (bushings, arms, camber plates, etc.) Camber bolts. If future coilovers do not come with camber plates these will be added/ spl rear control arm is also planned. Single or double adjustable/ no external reservoir, don't want to take the mod penalty in TT5. American or have U.S. factory support preferable for ease of rebuilds $3-4k budget range Thank you for any input you guys have.

I’ve a new ts and I’m thinking about bushing upgrades before most everything else.
Is there a tutorial or explanation of x,y,z does? It occurs to me doing a transmission bushing to shore up some slope I’m interrupting might be the first order of business? Tracking occasionally. |

The rear subframe inserts are another good way to make the rear feel more connected and reduce extra movement (with a little increase in noise). Feels good though. The above probably won't reduce laptimes, but IMO can improve confidence which is still important for a variety of reasons. Steering rack bushings (or the Perrin steering rack lockdown) feel awesome with minimal if any drawbacks. Just better steering feel. Perrin is easiest to install. For the suspension links...here's a general (non-BRZ specific) guide: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQUCS9n..._web_copy_link With polyurethane bushings, you MUST inspect them frequently even if it's a single axis rotation spot. Improper design can still lead to failures in relatively simple locations. It does happen and it can be catastrophic! For the rear: trailing arm, toe arm, rear lower control arm, rear upper control arm. We often replace the toe and lower control arm with a whole new part that adds alignment adjustability alongside firmer bushings. I also use the STI trailing arm which is not adjustable but has a nice high quality sealed spherical bearing. All of these make a difference, but may not be 100% necessary for everyone. For the front: front control arm (big front bushing, little rear bushing). The big front bushing is IMO one of the most noticeable from the driver's seat. There are a variety of options...the STI Group N rubber bushing is probably the best upgrade for most people. Not easy to get stateside but possible. I'll post a part number in this thread at some point: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142230 The polyeurathane bushings also work and can have other benefits like added caster but again I would inspect them frequently. Spherical bearing options exist but they are expensive, and most will replace the full arm at that point and get some adjustability + spherical bearings. The smaller bushing is less noticeable but rubber, poly, and spherical options exist. A lot to go through. For a tracking occasionally, mostly for fun car...replacing the rear links that give you some adjustability is a great start with minimal drawback besides cost. The driveline bushings, subframe inserts, and steering rack bushings make the car feel more confidence inspiring and connected, with slight increase in noise from the driveline bushings. The big front control arm bushing is an important one, but worth doing later as you assess your goals for the car. - Andrew |

Would you say this bushing is a good "feel mod" for a street daily driver? I've done all the other bushings you've talked about (except engine mounts), and really enjoy the solid driveline feel. I'm not really sure if I can feel a difference with the steering rack bushings (got poly bushings there), might be just a placebo effect. Would the big control arm bushings be on the same level as the steering rack bushings in terms of steering feel improvement?

Any recommendations on a camber gauge for DIY alignments?

Hey @CSG Mike @Racecomp Engineering,
Do any of you guys know what the upper knuckle hole in the RS-R rear lower control arm do? Is it used to correct roll center like the Whiteline roll center correction kit does with the front LCA, assuming you adjust coilover height to keep the same ride height? |

To raise your rear roll center you need to raise the upper control arm mounting position, maybe with the whiteline camber kit, then you could adjust camber with these lower arms. Don’t know if the two holes for endlink point actually made some difference in leverage but probably yes, wait for other opinion Last edited by marco_mc22; 12-20-2020 at 04:12 AM. |
