HKS HAS uses a narrower spring perch. I don't have the wheels off right now to measure but the top of the springs are the same diameter of oem and it tapers down to ~70mm? similar to a typical coilover spring. The HKS sleeve completely replaces the oem perch which was some trouble to remove for...
I think more caster would increase clearance to the front bumper but decrease clearance to the rear quarter panel/liner. The rubbing I found primarily occurs when the inside wheel is compressed, like going over a curb. This shouldn't be an issue with natural cornering at a track where the inside...
275+20 in front seems to be on the aggressive side and whenever you're on the bleeding edge of fitment very small details like exact tire brand, ride height, camber and method of alignment will affect clearance.
FWIW I run 275+27 in the front and measuring the contact patch to the edge of the...
Hey, I responded to your post on my thread. But I just wanted to add that I ended up with Verus just as the "simplest" option. I had read about and heard of some of the aforementioned issues with Vorshlag and GC products so ticked them off the list. I did have some interest in the Millway...
Only suspension bits I've done is the HKS HAS kit and Verus camber plates. Running F/R -3.0/-2.5 camber. I picked the numbers as a ball park from friends but so far the wear on the tires have been spot on. I do have a bit more range to adjust, like 1-2 mm before the shock might start binding...
Welp, I suppose as an update, finally made it out to track at Gateway. Car is fast as fuck even in current form. Beat my PB in the S2000 by 2 seconds and there's a whole lot more left in it. Absolutely no rubbing on track with 275+27 in front and running -3.0* camber. Everything else went...
I’ve never actually run Hedge Hollow before. Left the KC area right before it opened. Unfortunately probably won’t be able to make it out this year. Work schedule won’t let me off long enough to travel too far. Probably will just be doing laps at Gateway.
Still waiting for my alignment appointment date. But after doing some basic trig, it seems like my current static camber is -2.25* front and back after lowering roughly 1 inch. The front camber plates are currently still set in their center position. Unfortunately I didn't take measurements...
I think I was on mobile and read through too quickly, didn't catch that you were on stock arms. I wish I tested camber range and then indexed it on the adjustment plate while I had the front apart but didn't have ball-end Allen keys on hand and TBH I was pretty done with the car at that time...
That's honestly great to hear. I'll have see how much my alignment guy can get. How much do most people aim for with camber front and rear? It's a McPherson car so I imagine on the high end for the front? I know the GR86/BRZ and CTR guys run massive numbers on the front. Might still err on the...
Is it because the car is lowered? Most references I’ve seen for the -2.7 number is at stock height. I don’t think I saw much camber gain from free compressing the suspension with the springs off the car but I imagine there’s other variables depending on static height.
How are you getting -3.6 front with Verus camber plates and oem shock? Most resources I've read state that past -2.7 the roller bearing top hat boot starts binding against the reinforcement ribs of the strut tower. Do you have lower control arms?
Thanks for the tip, wish it had a hex at the nose and didn't require the jam nut method but won't argue with the price. Prob will grab a 92 mm set over winter.
TBH I really like how the car feels right now. Pretty dang neutral, enough that I can "steer" with the throttle in long sweepers on...
I am however my work schedule might screw me over. Might not get to run until June. But I suppose it's ok, still need to bleed the brakes and mull over whether or not I want a front sway bar.
Well finally got the wheels and tires mounted.
Random thoughts:
Ended up getting CRS in 275/40/18 to save a bit of cash Over RE71RZ in 295/35/18. I'm still learning the car, not looking to put down PBs just yet.
I knew CRS run wide but I was still surprised how wide these are. Makes MPSS look...
Glad you had fun and made it. Which "not-straight" are you talking about lol? The front "straight" at the pits or "roller-coaster?" Turn 1 always made me pucker up in the S2000 as it dives down from the off camber apex. Still unsure if I'm making it out to Ozarks this year. Work might be tight...
HKS HAS kit and Verus camber plates. I plan on getting coilovers in the future however didn't feel like forking over the cash just yet since I recently purchased this car. This is a stop gap measure to get the car lowered and to get more in-board clearance to run 275+ width front tires. Also I...
Great news, got everything installed. Bad news, left one of the sensors loose when I first started the car so it threw a code and is in limp mode, lol.
At least I could finally confirm fitment. Clears by a decent bit, granted MPSS run super narrow.
I can see that. I believe OIR has a motorcycle lay out too, but it looks like they cut out a lot of the tight switch backs for that reason.
Maybe was hating on the track a little too much. I think it's fun enough if you take it at a weekend pace. But it's not a track I have the balls to try to...
