best I will do is 90 bud -
No longer need these, they are the same ones that can be found here: https://h-dev.co.uk/product/superpro-toyota-gt86brz-rear-adjustable-toe-control-arm-kit-trc0007/?v=79cba1185463 Brand new, never fitted. Looking for 100 plus post. Thanks

I might be tempted to dial in some more negative camber as my wheels are rather wide so the ride height can't be as low as I would like. Rear feels great to me, only the front understeer i want to resolve, maybe a personal preference thing Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Yeah running -1 on the front and rear. I have not looked into the spring rate. I think the car is running a fair amount of rake which is something I want to measure and understand. Tbh the car is pretty quick on track so I don't want to make any significant changes so I just tweak things and see how I go Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Do you change this for track work? Yeah, depending on the conditions. I ran 30-32 psi on track. I am running ps4 on the front and ps3 on the rear. Planning on doing another track day soon to learn some more. I will likey make the setup firmer overall but also try running the rear firmer than the front as I was getting understeer on corner exit. Take it you have seen the vid earlier on my thread? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Can't say fully as they have not bed in, used hammerite. Fronts where already done on mine I just painted them. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

About 10 clicks on the rear 6 on the front I think (from soft). There is 30 clicks in total. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Really like them, they did well on track as well. I don't find them crashy on the road either, bear in mind everything is poly bushed Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Right finally got round to sorting out the rear brakes, ordering the disks ready for fitting. I have always been a red caliper man, was the same on all my other cars and I enjoy a bit of DIY so I stripped both front and rear brakes and gave them a lick of paint. While I was at it I refreshed the brake fluid and fitted speed bleeders as well. I will let the pictures do the talking... Rears Fronts (useful keeping old rubber brake lines + banjos when painting) (Also fitted decals on the rear) Finished! 2017-06-06_08-37-35 by Dominic Martino, on Flickr

Agree'd I feel the 86 is hard on the road full stop. I think I might have found the limit of them at Rockingham. I feel like I was on the bump stops at the rear on one corner. Please share how you stopped the parcel shelf rattling like crazy! I found a old pillow and took the wadding out of it, looks like white candy floss. Removed the rear parcel shelf and stuck it to the bottom and put it back in, you can also poke the wadding in through some of the holes from the boot. Mine looked like this before I put it in Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

TBH, they are perfect for what I want. The quality of the damping for the road is very good and a good match for UK roads. On track I have to confess I didn't change the damping adjustment because I just wanted to get a feel of the car. I was running 10 clicks on the rear and 8 on the front, I believe there is 30 or so clicks. Car is very planted and handles poor quality road surfaces better than the HSD mono pros I had on my RX7. I think the only think you will get that is better are a set of Ohlins, but at a price! Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Next up, changes I have made to the car... Brake master cylinder brace Pilot sports Changed to a different clutch slave for more pedal feel and swapped out for a braided line. Other little jobs Sorted out getting the fcon readings using the head unit Sorted out the annoying parcel vibes, running poly diff bushes so it was like a wasp was in the car until I got this sorted!

I've been on track recently with my harrop s/c. It made me much quicker - I was able to (just about) keep up with my mate in a Cayman R. And I run the primacies wheras he is on fat PS4s. Before I supercharged it he used to lap me. (In fairness the BBKs I have also added may have something to do with it too). As for ideal BHP/tonne - ideal for the chassis is probably is quite a lot (maybe 300 like ztox said), but 'ideal' doesn't take in to account when you need to build the engine, do the transmission and the axles. I've also heard it said that, no matter how much tyre you've got, traction above 300whp is very limited. Would love to find out for myself though. Stock engine with a charger suits the car really well I think and saves a shedload of supporting mods. Then is more speed to be had out of the driver in most cases (including me) than dropping a load of money on the extra mods. I was lucky and got a pre built car. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
