Set Up Advice

[Pito]

Looking for some insight, experience and knowledge to help with my suspension set up. My car is used for spirited driving around the local streets, highways, occasional roll racing and 2-3 HPDE's per season. I want the setup to be geared towards road course type driving.

Currently I have purchased the eibach Z4 springs, spacers and a stud kit to go with the stock wheels. I have a JB4, down pipe and intake so I should be approaching the 500hp mark once Jesse gets me dialed in. The goal is to control that as well as possible on a road course. My thoughts were to grab a set of Cup2's in 275/35/19 and 295/35/19. Will I be fine up front when going deep into a corner? Do I need to grab camber plates or control arms for more camber than the stock set up allows?

Any experience, suggestions on tires, alignment etc... would be appreciated. Thanks.

Set on the Cup 2s? SPL arms up front and the caster bushings help a ton and let you add some much needed negative camber. IMO though I think the 275 is too wide for the stock front wheels. Yes it'll fit, but you lose feel/feedback if the tire is being pinched in to fit the wheel. FWIW, I was using 265/35 RT660 and R888R when I was on TEs.

how much caster would you run for a street setup? How big of a difference does the Spl front lca make?

You need the SPL front LCA if you want front camber adjustment.
