Love this track. Can't wait to break in the new shoes.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the new setup. I was planning on wearing out my stock tires but with the brake upgrade they are even more ridiculous.

What's the benefit of doing this?

I'm on my phone so if I make mistakes, blame Sportsguy83

Just a little FYI, I too have Awesomes with -2.00 camber up front and I get a little bit of rub. To remedy this I run a 3mm spacer up front.

WTF

ATL BRZ · 02-24-2014, 08:01 PM

Epic day. Front tires never touched the spring perches, but just barely rubbed the fender liners under full compression. No big deal.

Ran great on Sunoco 98. No issues at all other than not being able to keep up with Jack Baldwin in his Pirelli World Challenge GTS champion Cayman... :LOL:

GoPro footage awaits upload. Wheel and tire feedback will come with it.

I took off the front wheels today in the paddock and checked the inside sidewalls and they were perfect, so I'm pretty sure the outsides are rubbing on the fender liners but only with really high cornering loads and full compression which was only at one spot on track at Barber. I think spacers might make it worse.

It's probably happening because I'm running a relatively soft spring (250 lbs) on the stock struts and my while my bigger RCE sway bars help a lot, I think adjustable coilovers may be the only true remedy. I doubt rolling the fenders would help much since the 245's aren't that wide.

Is that the Jon Motoring front lip? Can you comment on the quality?

Thanks

No its from eBay: http://m.ebay.com/itm/281239336892

Quality isn't that great but it fits well and looks nice. I wasn't trying to spend more than $100 on some polyurethane that will get scraped up eventually. If this one gets messed up I won't lose any sleep at night over it.

how does it install? require any drilling?

Yep pretty easy install. Just mock it up with a buddy and some masking tape, drill smaller holes in the pre-marked holes, then use the provided screws to secure it to the bottom of the bumper cover. I did it in my garage myself with some random boxes to hold it up and tape it down to fit it. Used a creeper to make it easier.

New shoes look great! How do they compare to Enkei's? You can be honest, I already sent the money ;-)
