technically speaking you'd have less front grip.

Thanks you

Tires are 245 RE01Rs so I would imagine they are pretty similar in terms of rubber compound.

another rule of thumb for our cars is have a degree stagger b/t the front and rear wheels like -2 front and -1 rear. That worked the best for me.

Also nice pics.. i envy you!!!

Thanks, congrats on your new racecar!

Ok, I don't want that

Bigger FSB ftw.

Ross, btw, that's your old car in those two pics (the one with the blue smiley face tape)!!!!!!!!!!

technically speaking a bigger front bar reduces front grip as well.

but the maintained camber is > weight transfer. just don't go too big. I'm very happy with my 24/26 whiteline. (Front 26/Rear 24 (when i was on springs)).

i like having over -1.5 rear camber.

I'd suggest -1.5 all around for the street and then -2.5 or so for the front at the track.

nice car i really like how you did the trunk and the wing very classy

lamer- you need to buy a non-touch ir thermometer. that way you can actually tell if you are overheating the outsides of your tires, rather than just "think".

i was able to discover i had TOO MUCH camber at the track when things got greasy b/c the inside of the wheel was 20°+ hotter than the outside.

I just can't see myself going with a 27/29. That's why I said slightly larger earlier. I forget what the Cusco is, but since I have the Cusco RSB, I'd like to match the front (unless the Cusco FSB is too small). Hopefully it's in the 24-26 range.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

You're right. You have one don't you? Which one did you go with?

grr, that ****er didnt tell me he went to the track in it recently

She is so hot... hmmmm *emo tear*

Clap, Try driving one of our cars with even camber on all corners... I bet you'll get nothing but plow... "dumps like a truck"

seriously though for a "street car" on the track -2 -1 is fine. then run -1 -1 on the street and have great tire wear.

that looks like streets of willow... was this with redline this past friday? if so I was there too...

*edit* nevermind, we ran counter clockwise on friday... and i see people in shorts and tees. it was cold as hell that day too */edit*

[T3h_Clap]

cusco has a 21mm and 22mm bar.

with just springs you really want more than 22mm bar, especially since we're camber challenged.

are you thinking of doing a Ball Joint Extender?

which isn't a terrible thing to have on the street.

the rear camber isn't easily adjustable.

finding a happy middle ground of street/track is key.

remember no plates on STi Pinks yeilds at max -1 front and -1.5 rear.

the car didn't do too bad, just required some tire pressure manipulation.

$40 camber bolts in the rear make the world go round!!!! I also had a set up front as well (I'm to cheap to buy plates).

Trust me, camber is really your friend, with my setup i could get on the throttle SO early it was insane.

For some reason Niko is in my head, but I am not sure. It was all of $40.
