Very nice car! I love the way silver RPF-1 s look on white car.
I live like half an hour north of you. Would you be willing to let me try the short shifter in your car? I'm also considering one.

Your mod list looks a lot like mine, except my sbc RPF1s are 18x9.5. Similar dyno number also, Im at 304whp and 303ftlbs in an MR platform.


Looks good.

Can you give a review on how the car handles now with that suspension set up?

Car is absolutely gorgeous, love it... Nice work!

Thanks! and yeah, I know most people usually install all their suspension upgrades all at once so they don't have the chance to feel out the differences from each part.

I did mine in this order ( all at different times ) :
-Whiteline Sway bar
-Ohlins Coilovers
-Whiteline Sway bar Endlinks
-Whiteline RCK

I would definitely say that the Ohlins are amazing. It took me awhile to dial in the ideal specs for my type of driving. I decided to leave it around 20 stiff for the front and 16 stiff for the rear and it worked out well. I also had the Sway bar in the middle stiffness and the car handles like its on rails in the canyons. At my ride height, I would say the RCK made a HUGE difference in cornering. The car feels much more flat and planted and made me feel much more confident in the turns. I haven't had a chance to take it to the track yet so we will see from there

So from what I have experienced, here's how I would rank the parts that made the most difference in my opinion:
-Whiteline RCK
-Ohlins (upgraded from MR suspension with H&R Lowering Springs, if it was stock GSR Suspension I'd probably rate this first)
-Whiteline sway bar
-Whiteline end links
