Assuming this is the product listing you're looking at, this is probably just a bad title entered. Here's another listing from the same shop with a more descriptive title ("... Sway Bar with Links (.70" Drop)"). As you lower the car, ideally the roll bar shouldn't change its position at ride height, meaning that you need some kind of a combination of different length of end links (longer front, shorter rear) or relocated mounting bracket for the end link (front only on our cars). It looks like that kit implies that if you lower the car by 0.70" from stock, the sway bar will be in its best position. |

Thanks for suggestions, I ordered shorter end links for the rear sway bar (up to -27 mm shorter, this should be fine for 32 mm lowering).
Now, I have doubts for the front ones: HKS Hipermax kit includes 210 mm end links to replace the 245 mm stock ones. But the bracket of the end link on the strut is lower than stock one, approssimatively it's 25 mm from the yoke upper bolt, against the 55 mm of stock strut. So it is correct for stock height, but, as I lowered 31 mm shouldn't be better to put the stock endlinks back? Edit: I have just to check the clearance in static conditions, right?

Trying to get some input on spring rates for fortune auto 500's? I will be autocrossing about 15 times this summer and then driving it to work and other events 2-3 times a week. Currently running 17x9 rpf1's and 245s on rce yellows and white line rear lcas.
I emailed Fortune Auto and they recommended either 7k front 8k rear or 8k front and 9k rear. |

How much real-world merit is there to corner balancing a car driven by an amateur?
My 2013 BRZ is my only car and does everything - daily driver, road tripper, back road companion. I hope to attend around 4 track days/driving schools this year and maybe a few more autocross events, to have fun and develop my skills. I have virtually zero track experience. I bought Bilstein B14 coilovers to install this spring. I wanted to lower the car because it looks pretty, rather than significantly change how it drives. I chose the Bilsteins because they were track tested, affordable, and didn't have super stiff springs compared to other coilovers. Damping is non-adjustable, and they use a progressive spring (ride height adjustments also change spring preload). Tires are 245/17 Hankook V12 Evos (came with the car). I will probably move to something in the high-200 to low-300TW category once they're due for replacement. The question: How much of a benefit can I expect to notice if I paid extra for a corner balance come alignment time? I am a big dude (250+lbs), but not very experienced. |

Judging by how unbalanced most stock cars are (Savage Geese corner weighs the cars he tests, as an illustrative example) I doubt that slapping on coilovers will make corner balance any worse. |

The factory car isn't really even left to right, and rarely corner balanced with someone in the driver's seat. But it's less noticeable with softer springs. - Andrew |

I'm on coilovers with camber plates, which my current camber setting is adjusted via the plates. I intend to have camber adjusted via camber bolts instead (SPC 81260) to revert back to stock SAI, but how do I know when I am at the right strut angle position? I suppose when my camber settings are as per OEM specification at that given angle without other factors influencing camber, I would be at the OEM strut angle?
Also, given that the strut will be more upright previously, would I possibly have camber clearance issues, as I am targeting -2.25 degs for the fronts with stock wheels (225/45s), and about 15mm lowered. I have 5mm spacers installed, but I'm not sure if I should have 10mm spacers in hand just in case. Thanks!
