My shocks are JRZ. They have the spherical ends at the top and bottom of the rear shock. Other suspension mods in my sig.
You're right, tires make a huge difference. I am on Nitto NT05 with a 275/40R18. The ride quality on my aftermarket wheels is noticeably worse than on my stock PP wheels...
WOW. This setup does great on the road course! I think BmacIL hit the nail on the head with a stiff rear spring and softer rear swaybar idea. You can really put down the power a lot easier.
I'm probably going to drop down to a 200F/880R rate setup just because the car rides a little bit...
Anybody know if the passenger seat is height adjustable? My girlfriend is short and I don't want to hear any complaining about how she can't see over the dash with the new seats.
Ah, I see your point. I would assume 2.4" upward wheel travel is adequate. But hopefully some folks more knowledgeable than me can chime in and confirm or deny.
Thanks for the response Norm. So you're saying I should have about 2.5" of upward travel before I get into the bump stop?
Also, take a look at the silver nut at the bottom of the ruler. I probably have 1.75ish " of travel currently.
Hey Guys,
I wanted to give my initial feedback based on some posts earlier in this thread. I just had a shop install my BMR SP085 (980lb/in) in the rear along with my BMR spherical RLCA bearing and the FP toe-knucle bearing. I kept my front spring rates the same at 250in/lb on my ecoboost.

Do you have any links or articles that shows an EB motor revving so high? I have not come across any such builds but I would like to accomplish this one day :)
I'd say the value of the strut tower brace is debatable, especially if you already have the cowl brace. A good percentage of the hardcore S197 track junkies don't run with strut tower braces because the car is stiff enough and its just adds extra weight. World challenge and TA4 cars don't run a...

I doubt the lightweight driveshaft actually does much in terms of acceleration since the diameter of the driveshaft is rather small (I=m(r^2)).
Seems like if you went catback you'd save 28ish lbs and if you went drive shaft you'd save 18ish lbs...
I'd probably go catback just because I'd be...
200lb/in will pair nicely with Steeda Ultralite Linear rear springs (which are 874 or 880lb/in) according to my calculations.
On my eco I'm changing up my springs for 225F and 980R. The 200F/880R combo has roughly the same ride frequency relationship between front and rear.
