Going on 2,000 miles on the 0's and they're noiseless and awesome.

Going with the Whiteline front camber bolts and refining my camber and alignment next. Just got sick of aligning so much after changing one minor thing. Might add a thicker front sway bar then add the bolts. Then I should be "DONE" with suspension.

I like those meaty tires. Think I'm going wider than 245's my next tire set and going with the PSS too. Amazing tires.

Rear plastic bumper tabs will rub. I'd also suggest rolling fronts where the fender flares outward where it meets the sidemarker.

I'm on Direzza ZIIs 255/35 on 18x9 +45 wheels ... I have zero rub in the rear and zero rub up front under full lock and track conditions ...

I've lowered the car quite a bit on the RCE Tarmac 2s ... maybe 8 threads left on the front ... 2x that in the back I'd guess.

Love the RCE Tarmac 2s ... They have been an amazing set of coilovers. Have performed superbly on my track days ....

Can't wait to start up NASA Central Time Trial season in the spring ... I think I need some RCE Stickers to spread the word!

A MPSS in 255 is like others 265s and so on, quite a few folks here in club have these and they're just well oddly bigger then most in same class. If I go 9.5" squared and use MPSS I'll use 245 more so cause I don't want to have to exceed anymore then -2 camber all around.

My setup is -2 camber all around. Originally had it set to -2.5 to -2.7 all around but realized it was a tad excessive. I'm very happy with the -2 all around.

So to adjust height up you compress the spring? The back of the car feels jittery but I ended up with the helper springs fully compressed im wondering if thats why?

The helper springs will be fully closed at any ride height with the car on the ground, so that's not it.

You could try lowering rear rebound. PM us with your full set-up and settings and we can help you out.

Anyone have photos of how high up they spun for a 1inch drop? For front and back?
