The RCE Yellow lite kit works well and is a fun all around set up that's good to learn on. Just not quite as fast as T2s. Also great with Bilstein B6 too. - Andrew |

Definitely more neutral than my original stock performance pack setup. However, I feel like I'm going to wear the outside shoulders of the primacys which is fine for now but would like to get it a little more dialed for a future track day so I don't trash new sticky rubber. My alignment guy will not double up on camber bolts for safety reasons. If I want more negative camber up front without giving up too much bump travel are the Pedders top mounts my best option? |

That’s what I did. Pedders + cam bolts landed me at -2.2. For a car that I drive daily, it’s perfect Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There are camber plates that don't sacrifice bump travel but they'll add a smidge of ride height. - Andrew |

Looking for advice on DD/some track work. Background - I'm a nasa instructor, recently gave up racing SM because I have two young kids and not enough time. Picked up a BRZ for daily driving, and to also take to the track a few times a year. It'll only be used in DE sessions.
I've driven a few BRZs on track. One had KW v3s And star specs, not sure of all suspension mods, but it was a total ball to throw around track. Very predictable, easy to pull back in if it got sideways, fairly balanced grip level with what I think were star specs. I drove that back to back with a completely stock FRS, which only had 17x8s and 245 star specs and factory alignment. That car felt terrible, constantly riding on shoulders, grip threshold limit was significantly lower and frankly it was kind of a chore to muscle around track. I was planning on full coilovers like the T2s and sways and top hats etc to make the car fast on track, but the more I've driven it on street the more I think all that grip will actually make the car way less fun as a daily. Low grip has always been better on street for me, even though on track I prefer Hoosiers and high grip. Plus, it's a lot of coin for the limited track time I'm realistically going to get right now. But I want to be able to drive it to track and not have it fall on its face. Here's my current plan - RCE yellows, SPC 14mm crash bolt and OEM 14mm top in top slot to aim for -2* front camber. Rear offset bushings. 17x8 wheels with 225 star specs. 1st question - what sways? My plan was to make these changes and then try and dial in sways, probably something like the 25/19 hollow RCE or 22/16 white line. Does that sound right? 2nd question - do you think this will achieve what I'm looking for - retain street fun while getting to a pretty balanced ride on track that allows the ziii star specs to hit close ish to their limit. I'm purposely straying away from stickier tires like Rival S and RE71. Disclaimer - I know this is a compromise, all setups are compromises when trying to work in two different scenarios. Looking for something that doesn't break the bank but is at least capable in both.

@dasting i'd think of more camber. Imho you also should have asked owner of the car you liked for alignment of his, which i strongly believe, had more camber then -2.
Retaining "street fun", yet have more grip on track .. just go for two wheel/tire sets (and also brake pad sets), with not too grippy "street set" tires. Imho that should do better then trying to compromise something in-between, resulting jack of all trades, master of none. |

Totally agree with Church on this one, plenty of slidey liveliness on the street with ~300tw tires, NA, and an aggressiv-ish alignment/suspension. They can be your backup rain tires to boot, Conti ECS or PS4S. Currently dailying 6k/7k springs with -4°F/-2.3°R and OE sized Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's, larger front sway, OE rear, going to switch to the Contis soon I think.
Throw Hoosiers and a jack in the trunk, best of both worlds. KW/RCE's will be good to turn up/down between track and street, maybe get softer springs with the T2's or start with V3's and maybe budget for some stiffer springs after some seat time. Or maybe Ohlins, similar ballpark to the V3/T2, easier to revalve if you head one direction or another. |

SPC 81280 fit the top holes. I guess for the bottom holes you have the SPC 81260, right? I got around -1.2 degrees with the 81280 in the top holes alone.

Hi guys,
i have ordered from 86speed some new wheels the Titan 7 T-S5 18x9.5 for my GT86, and was planing also to do a suspension upgrade to the car (since my old ones seams to be shot and for the fitment of the new wheels) with the research i did on which coil-overs to get i wanted to keep a ride quality close to oem comfort and wont be going much lower than stock for the street since in my country we have nice and juicy potholes. i do some auto cross but mostly very very spirited driving (our police is checking their snap chat most of the time and do not bother chasing anybody since they installed speed cameras, but they will fine you for window tinting ) so i wanted to get the Tein Flex A CSG Spec as they seam to fit what i want from a coil-over the problem is that i cant find a place that sells them and ship internationally (i live in Saudi Arabia) so dose anybody knows a way for me to get them, with reasonable shipping, or suggest an alternative to them? this is my first mod to the car since buying the car in 2015 Thank you Last edited by Mr.GiF; 09-12-2020 at 04:06 AM. |
