No way he actually felt the chassis bend. If he was driving a 1988 Buick I would say sure, but this is a modern car.
The G series is something like 50% stiffer than even the F series.

Yea don't get me wrong, I would love stands, just can't justify the price. Currently, the only thing I have to lift the car up and down for is to set camber. Once I get that, I can change toe with it on the ground.
How do you settle the suspension after lifting the car, taking the wheels off...
Holy $$$.
Would be nice to have stands for sure. I have the same type of digital angle gauge to read camber. For toe, you are still using analog string and tape measurement with that.
Unless you guys are running the exact same tire diameter and tire pressures, you should be measuring from wheel center point to fender to get accurate comparisons.
No. The rotors on the supra are aluminum hats pressed into iron discs. Aluminum for that actual discs would last like a week, if that. lol
Premium:
348mm front rotors
345mm rear rotors
Base:
348mm front rotors and unpainted calipers (same size as premium)
330mm rear rotors and smaller...
As far as brake fluid, I just put a brake fluid chart in this thread: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/a90-supra-brake-pads-brake-fluid.16899/
I currently use Endless and it's been great. I used SRF prior and it worked but I feel the pedal feel is better with Endless.
Torque RT-700 is by far...
Probably want to take those lower arm air channel plastic pieces off for the alignment as well. It's a total pain to get to the camber and toe adjustment with those on.
@decodeddiesel
I would look at the Kumho V730's as well. They are faster than the Conti ECF, wear better and tolerate heat better than the Super 200's but are VERY close to the Super 200's in pace. Also, they are a F'in bargain. $195/each for 275/35/18
Yea, I second that the Conti ECF wear like iron. I was 2+ seconds faster at Lime Rock with Nankang CR-S, which is a short 1.5 mile track, but I only get about 4-5 track days with them.
These is what my Conti ECF looked like after seven track days:
What camber plates are you going to use with the MCS?
You technically don't need any of the SPL/Verkline parts to get a decent alignment.
Since you have a 2020, I would recommend at the very least the rear toe bars. It really tightens up the rear.
I believe you will also need front sway bar...
