Pictures

OK per multiple requests here are some pics of the car as she sits.

So now the tuning is done - TTP engineering (Nice folks, great service and a big improvement in drivability and power levels)

Carbotech brake pads installed (Amazing what just a better brake pad can do)

Coilovers completed (Again great service, perfect fit for all brackets lines etc and easy to setup with good range of adjustability)

Wheels and tires here need to install (18x7.5 Enkei Performance EKM3) with an agressive track tire !!

Ready for the track !

Depends on how low your car is, but they will give you over 3 degrees per corner if you want it.

EngRWW33 - Fronts have a large adjustment range, I did not look at positive camber but can dial in in excess of 3.5 degrees negative (I know this as I had to pull out some camber to hit my desired setting). I have started at -2.2 and will go from there. I am certain the camber range is now in excess of 4 degrees. I just aimed at what I was looking for an initial track setup so did not measure through the full range.

The rears do not have pillow ***** so you are stuck with the stock adjustability. Lowering the car did help. I am now showing an indicated negative camber of almost 1 degree. I have a few ideas on how to improve this and am working on a rear camber adjustment capability. If it is needed and if it works I will post here. Will know more with additional track time.

So whats the verdict? Do they have noticeably improved handling/responsiveness over stock?

Can't wait to hear!
