I can speak to a 2020 GT premium PP1. from what I understand, the PP1 rides a little more firm, but I think it's great for a daily driver. I find the heated/cooled leather seats are very comfortable, though a bit lacking in side bolster support. If this is just your commuter/spirited driver...

I'm really excited to see how it runs on the 660s. I remember the massive difference going from 235 (cheapo) all seasons to 245 Kumho V720s on the WRX I used to run. All last season I ran the stock PP1 PS4S and by the end of the season I could tell they were holding me back. (Still got 2nd of 3...

I went with the Steeda plates. I'll probably rock something in the -2.7 range and 0 toe. Now I'm just waiting on a couple odds and ends so I can assemble the struts and just swap them in without scabbing anything from the stock struts. Thanks guys, you saved me like 300 bucks. I'm pumped to...

Sounds like you guys are gonna save me some money. I can't afford to just go off any hair-brained idea I come up with, that's why I started this thread 😁. So a new thought: Not insanely expensive camber plates (recommendations?) I used to work at the local Ford dealer so I know a few of the...

I talked to Vorshlag customer service. They said the toe tends to change by 3/32" to 1/8" when using Longacre plates to measure, but they've not specifically measured an S550, so I can only use it as a guideline. At 1/8" that comes out to about 0.30 degrees of toe. This is outside spec (0...

Well guys, I bit the bullet. Steeda had a sale and I got the DR with Steeda adjustables. Now a good question: bump stops, I've been reading up on them, and @TeeLew made some recommendations. How do you tune them? I'm not really willing to keep taking the struts apart to do it. If that's how...

Thanks for the vote of confidence kz! Haha! I guess the biggest issue here is this: I'm definitely getting the rt660, I already have the rims to run the 305. I really want camber adjustment for better handling, but a big factor is tire longevity, as the stock angles cause the outside of the tire...

UOTE="TeeLew, post: 3416916, member: 49696"] Forget about car parts for a moment. Start out by very clearly defining exactly what you want to do. That always makes the path a little easier to find. I'm an avid autocrosser, I run in two different regions because I enjoy it so much. I'm...

I'm currently sitting stock, trying to decide what route I want to go. There's a ton of info from everyone and it's all swirling in my head

I suppose it makes sense when you put it that way. But that really delves pretty deep into knowing exactly what you want, I would think. This would get into having custom compression rates wouldn't it? I haven't seen any of that kind of info for bumpstops, although I haven't done a ton of...

Yeah this is how I see them. If your springs are traveling so far as to bottom out during normal (race included) driving, that seems excessive. Plus I would expect a bumpstop to effectively act as a drastic change in spring rate, upsetting the car. I could see them hitting the stop when there's...

Based on this, and some further conversation, it sounds like c/o are for someone who really knows what they want, and I'm not that guy (yet). I didn't know the bumpstops were that big of a deal... I thought it was just protection from bottoming out and damaging the shock... Am I missing...

If only.... That's the problem with asking strangers on the internet about this stuff. Everyone has a different opinion and it's tough to tell what you're on with until you actually drive on a setup. These are at a pretty dang good price point right now, only a bit more expensive than if I...

Are you sure you're not an Ohlins salesman? :cwl: Your feedback is appreciated though, it clears up my worries about going coilovers. These are on sale at TireRack right now, but I can't find any info on the spring rates. DR still sounds pretty attractive to me. Like half the price of the...

I don't mind it being stiffer on the street, but I don't want it to be uncomfortable. Do you have any shocks in mind that you think would work better for the DR springs? Again, I think adjustability is key for my purposes. "Having ridden in a car with even stiffer front springs and higher...

Ok, so I don't know how to quote so I'll reply the best I can for now. I'm 100% doing a dedicated set of rims and tires for autocross. Tires are the first upgrade you should always do. I've decided to go CAM-C because it won't be long before I decide to make a change that will bump me from FS...

Ok guys, I'm new to the S550 world and have a few questions. I've perused the forums for a while and I've found some of the answers I'm looking for but I'd like to have them all in one place. This was my third(ish) year of autocross. I started late 2019 and 2020 was a short season, all done...
