I know this is from 2.5 years ago… but came across it. Did you ever pick them up? I’m interested in them if I need to run 5 mm spacers on track with a square set up
so they revised a part that had nothing wrong with it, and only broke due to improper installation.
So they’re basically saying…. this new bolt can’t be installed incorrectly, and therefore has no chance of breaking.
Yeah maybe the standard bolt is shorter now, and that’s been corrected. Would be nice if their customer service would provide some context in their email responses
I’m actually pretty impressed! Great options for those with stock seats. Padding is firm, material is good, and the rubber in the middle is non-slip.
Edit: nm on review of ohlins, just saw your other post.
On another note, has anyone ever tired Angelwings with your factory seats? I’m going to give them a try in addition to a seatbelt locker to cinch me in.
@FLtrackdays That’s helpful.. those specs sound about what I was thinking, except maybe starting with medium or soft firmness on sway bars. My thought is those sway bars on softest setting is already significantly stiffer than stock, so may be the best way to learn differences.
Regarding rake…...
I’ve done 3 autocross and 5 track days with the car in stock form, and now just purchased suspension/brake mods.
What do you guys recommend for a base set up? I got all the SPL bits, Eibach f/r sway bars, MSS adjustable springs, and endless mx72+ pads + fluid.
I have new PS4S tires in stock...
I’ve been doing a deep dive on this as I’m preparing to upgrade my suspension.
The main solid bushings that I’d say are in the “other” category are motor mounts, transmission mounts, rear subframe bushings, and rear differential bushings. Differential, motor, and transmission mounts/bushings...
SPL makes full caster arms (the front upper control arms) for several BMWs, but not for the Supra. Instead they only have the adjustable castor bushings.
Verkline does make these arms, but that will cost you about $600 more than the SPL bushings. Some benefits of the verkline castor arms are...
Do MSS springs not have rear bump stops and dust boots? I guess that makes the rear install really quick because the strut doesn't need to removed. Anybody know the rationale?
Ok... thanks for confirming that is a real thing haha. Maybe I'll just have the shop do these bushings when I take it there for suspension tuning and alignment. Thanks, very helpful!
Ok, that makes sense, thanks! Did you consider the caster bushings? I read some people needed them with aftermarket sway bar and LCAs for clearance. I can hardly find anything on the utility/benefit of these. Not cheap, and would need a shop to press them in and out for me
