i do have them in the lower, i think i slightly nudged my subframe since the other side was over 4 on the initial measurement on the rack. also i did not know you can use a camber bolt in both holes. is it the same one and just point them in the other direction?

been awhile since I played with 'em, 16mm SPC camber bolt is what fits if your dampers are sized for the factory upper bolt

my subframe must be jacked up because i moved the bottom oem bolt to the top and have the 14mm spc bolts on the bottom with full camber, and my camber plates maxed and only hitting -3.7. ill have to take a look some time before next year. i my wallet doesnt need a 3rd alignment this year.


also just got done adjusting my front sway bar. got 1 side on stiff, one side on soft, lowered it, took all the preload off, and drove around in an empty parking lot. no clucking, feels really good and nimble. well see how this weekend goes

Made it to my first event post tune and header install.

This is a local club that runs a pretty big/wide open autocross once a year at a larger venue (former SAC base)

Car feels great with the extra power, couple spots where third gear would have been ideal, but after trying on 1-2 runs I didn't find it was worth it.

17' BRZ base

Drivetrain:
Ace350
Motiv HFC
Tanabe Concept G Catback
Whiteline positive shift bushing
ECUTek via Zach Tucker/CSG

Suspension:
Ohlins R/T's (early version w/plates)
Works motorsports swift upgrade: 6Kf/7Kr
Whiteline 24mm front bar - Soft
Whiteline front endlinks
Blox rear camber arms (poly inner bushing)

Wheels/Tires:
17x9 +40 Konig Hypergrams
245/40r17 RE71r

Alignment:
Camber: 3*f/2*r
Toe: 0 front - 1/16" Toe-in rear

Car overall feels pretty neutral with a hit of understeer on the wider sweepers, could be more a nut behind the wheel issue. Haven't fooled with the dampers at all, ride height is set based on ohlins out of box recommendations with rebound set on mid setting.

Fastest from day 2, 3rd pax / 8th raw overall:

So my FA coilovers are essentially maxed on camber. I'm sitting at -2.5F/2R. To get to -4, I'd need camber bolts mentioned above, correct?

I have karcept front bar, mann rear.

I'm going to give it a few more events but I think i'm going to try the 400s in back or maybe 450s and see how that goes. I haven't tinkered with too much for years so it gives me something to do. Plus I got a lift in my garage so stuff like this is a lot easier.

Trying rivals tomorrow at a bullshit local so I'll see how it feels with a little bit less grip vs the yoks.
Yeah, after putting the Yok's on the car at Nat's last year, the car pushed through almost every turn on both courses no matter how much I slowed or how much I tried to change the suspension...

So after chatting with Lugod, I moved to the 5K/9K setup for this year... Now the car just feels silly to drive and the only time I get any understeer is when I completely overdrive the corner entry. But when that happens, I can get the car to quickly recover as opposed to the square setup, where overdriving an entry meant suffering for a while before I could get back on throttle...

But of course, I drove like garbage at the Pro...

Yes, I'm curious.

What else differs from the standard 400/400 or 400/350?

Pretty sure they are on the OS Giken LSD with 5k/9k.

Does anyone have corner balancing corner weights to share?

On this board, people with that setup were running the Perrin 22mm bar on stiff and the Mann rear bar, but that was before the Karcepts bar was available...so some may have upgraded.

I don't think this is a one size fits all answer.
