Imo, worth the effort and cost after holding off for so long due to the fear of labor cost.

Yes, even though the H&R are non adj, the car feels much more planted during turns and far less body roll.

I’ve never had any issues doing this and do not feel much loss of power, other than typical when this hot. No upgraded cooling, but I also don’t log any data other than my lap time. I’ll eventually invest into data logging.

When you replaced your brake lines to steel ones, did you do both the front and rear or just front?

Another track day registered, lol. I’ll be at Laguna Seca 9/9 with the Golden Gate Chapter CCA. Looking forward to using fresh set of tires for this track day.

Curious if you changed out rear bushings or not when you had rear subframe dropped for sway bar

I did not but did have SPL sway bar end links installed. That’s probably what I’ll do eventually. Chris mentioned the Verkline bushings added a lot more NVH and stability. So it’s definitely the next level of compromise between comfort vs function.

That is informative. So I probably won’t do rear subframe bushings. I don’t think the polyurethane insets make enough of a difference to go through the trouble of installing, but don’t have personal experience with that. I did the SPL adjustable endlinks with my sway bars so that I could corner balanacr easier.

peelerec Any clearance issues with 255 at the front and Ohlins R/T ? I went 235/265 for my new Apex wheels just to be sure I wouldn't have to use spacers...

No issues. I run Dinan springs daily and install the Ohlins for track days. No clearance issue without additional camber on Dinan springs. With the Ohlins + camber plates, no issue.

So you switch them back and forth? Can I ask why not run the ohlins daily? It seems like a lot of added risk not to mention work

To prevent as many rebuilds on the Ohlins. The recommended run time (hours/track days) for the Ohlins is not that much. I also have a great shop relationship that works with me on cost and driving instruction. It’s a win win relationship that yields them business and me huge discounts on labor + parts.

Hit a PB of 2:13 at Chuckwalla this past weekend. Going to have to be motivated one day to upload my catalyzer videos onto YouTube.
Might be my last track day of the year. Need to stay within budget, lol.
