toyokid 27 Report post Posted September 8, 2014 Looking forward to Corner weighing and camber setting at 8am tomorrow Feels like Ohlins default settings are akin to standard car settings, need to lower the front end to put more weight on it and pull the front top mounts in, to improve steering, time will tell, scales tell no lies! I have ordered a pair of adjustable front sway bar (ARB) links from BC, they looked ok when I used their coilovers unfortunately they won't arrive before Croft! Will look to use Lauren's camber settings, front via pillow ball and rears with camber bushes I do feel that with the Ohlins there is a lot to be gained from fine tuning.......

toyokid 27 Report post Posted September 8, 2014 Looking to brakes as my next upgrade, Several options available, including K sport Stop tech Ap racing Brembos from a 2004 imprezza, maybe need to refurb? Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHOSENMAN007 81 Report post Posted September 8, 2014 All are good. You want the best alcon, or brembo aftermarket. Not OEM brembos ie of factory cars! After that ap racing or tarox. Best of mid range d2, k sport, buddy club or wilwood. Depends on budget.. Personally if your not a pro you won't notice the difference in top or mid range. I have d2s 6 pot and I can push myself forward with force under hard braking.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KevinA 695 Report post Posted September 9, 2014 If you have the budget, go for AP IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted September 9, 2014 I would have said AP before Blyton Park trackday... but I was really impressed with the Cosworth brake kit.. and it's cheaper than AP (UK)... Cheap option? K-Sport 8 pot front calipers with Stoptech rotors all round. Use std calipers on rear, no problem. And they fit inside std 17" rims, although you will need spacers for OEM. My preferred pads are Ferodo DS2400 but not everyone gets on with them.. and they're not cheap... Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toyokid 27 Report post Posted September 9, 2014 Gone with Lauren's suspension settings minus 2 degrees front and minus 1.75 rear. Kept the Ohlins default rear height and lowered the front around 8mm because it was a bit light on road ripples. Now front and back working really well together absorbing the energy, handling super sharp, maybe a little twitchy?

toyokid 27 Report post Posted September 9, 2014 Since getting the alignment and corner weighting done, I am pushing into corners harder and have found the full soft setting too soft! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted September 9, 2014 I'd love to hear a full review, but you need to do some more miles first. The geo setup will be more twitchy, but I like it that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toyokid 27 Report post Posted September 12, 2014 A few pics, all with Ohlins fitted, some with OZ Superleggera wheels 8 x 17" ET35 and some with Rays wheels borrowed from Celica 8.5 x 17" ET39 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toyokid 27 Report post Posted December 25, 2014 Has anyone changed their own pollen filter? Mine is ready for doing and even the dealer said they were cheaper elsewhere. Stephen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
