Sprayed150's get beat up in Street Touring autox thread!!!! WOOOO!!!!!

[bustervic]

Yeah, the Eibachs are perfect for drop (for me) but I really want a 10-15% increase in spring rate. Being new to the platform and wanting to keep autoxing (had a 02 WRX) I am out of my element to what best to do for autox/daily

 

[Sprayed150]

yea, all the stuff out is very similar rates. im hoping i can convince my company to make a spring for us, but with the car going away next year its not likely

 

[Sprayed150]

ok, so the konis should be on the way today, and i ordered a schroth 4 point quikfit harness as i slide around way too much in this thing

 

[bustervic]

Poking around, I haven't seen enough reviews of the Swifts to know if they are too stiff, but the numbers make me think they will be. Maybe Eibachs are the best option :/

Sliding around... you skinny bastard.

 

[Sprayed150]

skinny?

bro, im 6ft 1 @215 lbs

 

[bustervic]

I must have a sticky backside. Ha. I am quite shocked and happy with how well this car handles at AutoX. I can't imagine once I get a few serious mods done.

Their rates, and the fact that they are actually linear, is exactly WHY I want them.

Yeah good point for sure. Just got confirmation from ST/KW that their sport Spring is progressive as well.
Swift are the top choice for sure.

Loved my swifts last year for autocross. Big improvement over stock. Rode good on the street also

 

[bustervic]

Good to hear all the positive stuff about Swift's. Nice work on grabbing those springs I was gonna jump on them too.
I'll drop this in here for fun too.. https://youtu.be/3IJw-jbDyyc

Yea, they are 30lbs or so harder than the eibach. Was just good luck they popped up, I'll put my eibach springs up for sale once I take the off the car in a couple weeks.

I think we made a decision on next season tires, I'm going to get some 16x7.5s and run a set of 215 45 16 rival 1.5s on them for the dry, and a set of contis on my stock wheels for daily/rain race use

Go with the re71r's. I like my 1.5s but believe they best in hands of well above average driver.

 

[Sprayed150]

this isnt my first rodeo lol

i won scca fl region in 2011 for ESP, i like to think im a bit above average lol

or its just my megelomania speaking

either way


RIVALS IT IS!

Tell B-stone to start releasing MORE sizes, and more people would run them!

Which brand/model wheel?

lol wasn't saying you weren't. Just saying the 1.5 can be fast with a pro driver imo and the re71r's are just easier to dial in pressures and more forgiving. After running both I'd never buy the 1.5s again.

 

[Sprayed150]

yea i got you, i was just joking

 

[Sprayed150]

honestly, prob some cheap sport editions that are on tire rack in 16x7,5 @ 17.2 lbs
