thanks. I have the basic je's and manley h stuff in mine. but since mine is a street car I didn't do much more than a refresh and valve job and mild porting with the heads.

Full Spectrum Performance uprights about to go on the car. They will correct geometry, add adjustability and save six pounds per side! Finish is tumbled and clear grade 3 hard anodize. Highly recommend if you race and your car is lowered!

Wow, those are beautiful!

Yes. The parts have a bit of a titanium look to them; a flat titanium finish. Excellent quality of work on them.

Since I just put aluminum uprights on my '08 STI from Full Spectrum Performance, soI thought I'd do a review or rehash of my suspension geometry and setup. I still don't have the rear geometry dealt with properly, since I'm lowered over an inch, even though I have all of Whitelines products back there. I run 285's on 35 or 38 ET 10.5 rims and no flares.
MCS two-ways and 24mm sway bars. 11K/14K springs.
EDIT: I like the front sway bar at its stiffest setting and the rear at its softest. This has given me the most neutral feel with the car and at serious turning speed I can oversteer the car with additional power input.
My setup may change with the new uprights, but this is what has worked for me in the most recent past:
I run 6+ degrees caster and -3.2 camber, 0 toe in the front, -2.3 rear camber and 0 to minor toe out in the rear. I dialed mine in using a tire temp meter and wear observations. Occasionally I can hit 1.5 G's lateral and 1.3 consistently (with the previous stock uprights setup). The new setup is untested.
I am a convert to SuperPro components as I've used it extensively on the '07 track car I'm building with TSS Fab everything underneath. It's lowered properly...

Update: Just sent off my MCS (Motion Control Suspension) front, double-adjustable dampers with external reservoirs for a rebuild and adjustment regarding travel centering. I found that with the new uprights I have less than 50% of my travel in bump (compression)! This should improve on what is already a very enjoyable revised suspension.

I'm contemplating selling this car. I'm rebuilding the engine over the winter. I'm not ready to list it as the engine isn't back in and it will need to be retuned.
Car is a blast. It's very well balanced, has great brakes and recently rebuilt MCS coilovers. New front wheel bearings.
At the 467 HP setting it holds its own with Z06's, Vipers, GT3's, supercharged Lotus', M3's, Mustangs, Camaro's, etc.
I did a sub-minute lap at Lime Rock, a 1:49 at Palmer on the 430 HP setting, a sub 1:20 at Thompson, a 1:46 at Club Motorsports in Tamworth, NH, during the 2019 Fall Spectacular (Boston Chapter of BMW CCA) and this year (2021) at Watkins Glen I recorded a personal best lap of 2:14 on worn out Hoosiers on the 430 power setting, with 60 hours on the engine. That and I'm 75 YO.
If you want to see more documentation on the car or pictures, PM me here or email me at scargod at g mail or message me on Facebook. Glyn Churchman. I'm in S Connecticut. My track videos on YouTube!

I bought a 2022 BRZ and am making mods to it so it can become my new track car (and still remain streetable).
