With spring rolling around ( 60 next week in central ohio ) I am getting ready again for Autox. First T&T is in April.
Some of you might be aware of my whole ordeal with RedShift last year. As a result I've sworn off coilovers, plus there aren't that many great options and I absolutely DD this car. Additionally the roads in downtown Columbus are absolute dog shit.
I got sort of lazy last year taking the coilovers in and out and I need to definitely replace the tty hardware one last time. Plus now the front and rear suspension are creaking. The front is definitely the upper bearings. The rear is... I need to poke around.
I currently have superpro FSB and RSB. During AX season I'll set the front to full stiff. I have so far preferred the extra rotation it adds to the rear.
However I would like to add more front camber. The re71rs are taking a beating on the outside shoulder.
I've looked at the Eurosport pucks and new bushings. And I've also come across a number of different possible options for camber plates. Such as vorshlag, though to stay STH compliant ( eehhh ) I'm not sure there's a real different in available camber between the two? or even 034 camster plates?
Additionally I am really eyeballing swapping to Koni SA. The F/RSB have made the ride pretty shaky around town. I suspect the age of the factory shocks and their overall ability is showing.
By the time I do the Eurosport kit with bearings, I am in camber plate territory price wise.
So the question is, do I just skip the eurosports and move to a camber plate? How much worse will NVH be? Is the available camber even all that different?
I may decide to do camber then the SAs. It's undecided so far. I also don't want to deal with something that will need regular care. So poly suspension bushings are likely out.
Finally, if am looking in that direction. Should I just deal with it and do the CSS knuckles and eurosport pucks?
In the end I am really trying to get more camber with the least additional NVH, stay STH compliant, and then also not spend like $1k+ on very little additional camber.
