Sorry im late to the party! Ive been studying this chassis' dynamics for a little over two years right now. I can say that anything over 10kg on either axles is definitely over sprung for a non aero twins. 12kg squre spring rates produce the pitched ride characteristic. Bouncing and pitching back and forth are the by-products of this spring setup This chassis is really susceptible to the flat ride theory. In other words, stiffer rear (usually by 1 kg or 2kg w/ factory motion ratio) than front will yield fast settling over bumps. Flat ride also allows the shocks to run less damping, such that you're running less of a risk of packing down or overloading tires with damping forces. In all fairness i think flat ride will also help with mid corner rotation. Due to macpherson struts front design, at the absolute limit when all the contact patches are loaded up. Front axle usually loses grip first (lack of camber curve, granted static camber can fix this. But thresh hold braking can suffer).... such that having a stiffer rear to initiate that rotation during corner entry to mid corner will further help to eliminate some understeer. Shaftworks' Bilanx line up utilizes 6kg/9kg spring rate spec. I speculate that they have came to the same conclusion as i have discovered. Cheers, im loving your channel's contents.
@@DriversPaddock thank you. I am Running 9x17 et38 with 235 40 17 CR-S and it is really tight, Even with Camper arms . Was wondering how you managed to get those fat tires fitting. I am running much lower setup because of balance and crossweight,maybe that is the difference
1:36 is crazy impressive but the 1:38 in the rain is wilddddddddd
Thanks for the shoutout Jason and amazing time representing the 86 community Luke!
🙏🏾
Impressive Car. Had it following me around DDT 1 kink last year and was surprised with the pace.

Thanks for the comment! Great insights.
1:38.2 With rain? You Animal
Way to hold up that impressive GTI behind you
You were zigging when you were supposed to be zagging 😂
Can confirm, these care rule.
damn, i need to buy a brz again now
You beast 😂
what is the alignment spec on this 86? Impressive laptime
Zero front and rear toe. Roughly -3.8 front camber -2.8 rear
❤❤❤
What are the specs?!!! What pads, what coilovers, what wheel specs, what everything?!!
Check the video description
Awesome thanks. What are the alignment specs that you liked so much?
@EddysGarage you gotta goto xiiimotorsports for the sauce
Hey,could you please tell me the rim dimensions?
17x9.5+35. Need to trim tab at the rear.
