It's amazing what you can do with a big pry bar and a 12 pound hammer.... j/k.
No, the mounting position is correct, it just rubs a bit. I don't hear it going over bumps or gradually loading the wheels one side to another. I only heard it when gradually loading one side and then hitting a...
Stock ride height on stock struts. The sway bar is installed in the correct orientation. and the reason it appears to be no room between the bar and the plastic trey is that the car is on a 2 post lift without any weight on the tires.
Stock ride height.
Just spoke to David from Eibach and they are checking to see if the production run of my sway bar has an issue. he agreed that alignment setup does not affect the sway bar's clearance.
When I gave them my VIN, the aa01's were what they found to fit my car...
Additionally, another forum member here confirmed that the aa01's is capable of running on both 433 and 315mhz where the aa02's are only 433. So technically these should work.
One confusion I had was when I click on the...
I just installed an Eibach's front sway bar along with some Vorshlag camber plates (all else stock). After coming back from the alignment shop, I noticed the front sway bars are hitting the lower control arm. The rubbing marks appear to be even on both sides, so it's not from my sway bars...
So I bought a set of 42607-WAA01's from the Toyota dealership and no matter what i do, i can't get them to be recognized in my 21 3.0 premium. The dealership is saying i must bring the car in to get them programmed. is this correct?
I went down the Vorshlag route and got about -2.5 on the front with stock strut assembly. One warning about Vorshlag camber plates is that the top strut nut was cut with worn-out/not centered tooling causing one side of the thread to be flat. That gave me alot of trouble until i realized what...
That makes sense. After a bit more research and seeing Nibble’s alignment I’m going to give this a try:
front camber: around -3°
front caster: between 6-7°
front toe: as close to 0 as I can get
rear camber: -2°
rear toe: 1/8" total toe in
What would be an appropriate alignment setup for a car that sees some street driving and 7-8 weekends a year of track time? I also plan to run a 275 square setup with vorshlag camber plates. Everything else stock
With that weight, do you swap out the oil right after the track or do you run them in there right before your next event? Basically is the 5w40 good to run on the street for a little while?
I have done a decent amount of reading and the common consensus for engine oil type/weight for track work is that there is no consensus.
So for the folks that actually do track days, what oil type/weight are you running?
As of right now, I'm leaning towards the Mobil 1 FS 0-40. Thoughts?
That opens up a whole can of worms and you will have a thousand different opinions.
My very objective and focused question to the group is - what is the maximum amount of Camber I can get without changing suspension components.
After a bit of searching, I was able to find that a stock suspension could yield around -1.9 of camber. Is that data accurate?
Is it possible to get a bit more camber without camber plates?
thanks!
That link was awesome! How reputable are these wheels for track work? I've always used BBS or Signature Wheels for my previous platform (C7 Grand Sport). I curious how their Flow Formed wheels compared with those.
Also, are they still replacing wheels if they are bent for 50% of the value?
