I believe the threads on the banjo bolt are different between the stock caliper and the brembo caliper (M10x1.0 vs M10x1.5) - I ordered the ones from Apikol and didn't have issues. As long as you have the right bolt, stock lines can be re-used.

It was somewhere right around 8deg caster

I used the powerflex front and rs3 rear for about 9k miles, and had no squeaking at all. They were always silent. Lube them up good during install and make sure they're torqued properly and you shouldn't have any issues

It's worth mentioning as well that the *correct* way usually also involves helper springs and/or low rate springs to manage the split between bump and droop, without needing to reduce the primary spring rate. With only a single linear spring, your springrate and corner weight will be the only...

I would for sure order new springs, equivalent rate, with less # of coils, and see if that helps. As David said, the amount of coils on those springs leave so little travel before bind. A lot of folks have run an equivalent type kit like this on these platforms without issue, so I'm hesitant to...

fwiw I found that the pillow ball bearings on the camber plates got a little quiet as the wore in. It looks like you have the newer "Standard" kit and not the BC-based one, so the plates are probably different. I had some crashing like that initially, but most of it went away once I re-tightened...

somewhere in this thread are the pictures of the access holes I drilled for mine. edit: found the original picture, here ya go

Do you run data?

Co-drivers are the best way to get faster. I love co-driving with really fast people to compare how we build speed / time differently over a course. It's really interesting to see how some people carry speed vs others

Front bushings are super easy to press out, since mostly rubber and have shoulders on them to keep them in place. rear is a PITA since it's a metal cup you have to push out, and have to press it in at the correct depth (or it falls out the other side). I managed to do mine with a vise and a...

Yeah powerflex is correct here. I ordered from FCP euro despite them "not fititng" on the website.

Another local guy just got a spyder and was in the same predicament. He went with the BC forged option, but man are they spendy

Looks beautiful, excited to see it out this summer!

Fronts on the redshift are not inverted, and didn't seem to be an issue in practice. I had -3.2 with the redshift coils and camber plates max'd. No issues with DD or tire wear. The difference between -3.2 and -3.6 (after adding the front offset bushings) is very noticeable. You have so much more...

Once the 255s are worn, throw a set of 245s on the 17x9s. You should see better wear and similar alternate grip. The yoks are super soft and prefer a bit of a stretch. And +1 on that last point - consistent seat time is key! Regardless of improvement, hope it's fun
