Thanks for all the responses and ideas. I'm well below the speed limiter, at about 110 mph. The car doesn't stop accelerating, it dies; motor dead! I'm on a straight, so no fuel sloshing about. For those of you whose cars cut out in left-handers, does it 'restart' itself (i.e., keep going)...

Good thought, but all temps were good, oil and water

I need your help with this one ... My 2016 GT has a JLT intake and Borla Type S cat back. It's custom dyno tuned by a shop that does dozens of these tunes every year. Between 2015 and now I'd bet they've done >100 very successful tunes. My first time out with the s550 GT, and the car cuts...

Yes. They fit very well.

If I were you I wouldn't go too low or too stiff. I lived in Halifax for a while (visited Newfoundland), and the roads are among the worst I've experienced in the country. I would seriously consider keeping the OE springs and getting better dampers. Steeda and Koni are the easy choices. If you...

I got mine from CJ Pony Parts.

I don't know why everyone is so negative regarding bolts. I use bolts on my Subie brz and they work great. I've had plates slip out of position but never bolts. Plates will allow you to change camber trackside, but I'm always afraid that will screw up the toe. I have my camber plates aligned on...

Great news! Any trouble putting the power down? I realize it was raining - mine spins in 2nd going straight! Camber plates are a great idea, and I think I'll get the MM ones for mine. But, with more grip in the dry the front end may gain traction faster than the rear. You're running a pretty...

My experience with Hawk HP+ was terrible. Grabby, brutal noise, and faded worse than OE! Plus the dust seemed to eat my wheels. At least they're cheap! FWIW, Hawk race pads have a great reputation, but i don't think you want them for the street. Sorry to be negative, but I think you'll have to...

That's what I'm using - 5mm hubcentric. I was just a little worried about that last thread!

Couldn't find this in the other posts, sorry about that. Thanks for the advise Maddawg. I do track my car. I didn't want the spacer either, but I need it for clearance to the strut. At this point I could get longer studs, run the OE wheels up front, or just deal. Crap, I should have...

I'm running the PP 19x9.5" up front, with a 5mm spacer. I also use FRPP open lugs, and there's definitely some threads not engaging, maybe 1 or 2. Are people running long studs with this setup?

Bought the tool because of this thread. Thanks for bringing it up KZ!

I appreciate A2W, and any evidence based advise I can find. I'm a normal Koni Yellow customer - I enjoy track days (not competition), and have no access to a shock dyno. I set up my suspension by feel because I have no other choice. I'm constantly amazed at how far I have to rotate adjusters to...

No, the billet rear shock mounts and Toe Bearings are on my list of must do mods. Right now I'm saving my money for gas, tires, brakes, and entry fees! Honestly, for $250 I think i'd be better off with MM camber plates than rear shock mounts ... I could be wrong about that, I can tell you're...

Hi guys, I've had my 'GT350r' setup installed for about a month now, around 1000km. Pretty much the same setup as etrac, but I'm on 19" wheels, and coming from a PP. The car is certainly stiffer, but more compliant. In my experience, Konis 'break in' for the first 1000km or so, and the initial...

Wow, a herd of nerds, me included! I like Konis because they're the best I can afford. After reading the linked info, my next set might be Bilstien. I always thought dampers from companies like Koni, Bilstien, Ohlins, KYB where very consistent. Live and learn I guess. I've never dynoed a...

Not sure where the curves come from, but it's interesting that 0w40 is more viscous than 5w20 for the whole range.

Link is awesome! Thank you.

This simple statement shows a great depth of knowledge. Heat is the enemy, and the point of any lubricant is to reduce heat. This is why I come to this forum for advice.
