Default New wheels and setup

Recently upgraded the setup from stock shocks to the Ohlins DFV's from Patric at URGE and my TRM C3's are being replaced with the PF01ss from Greg at GT motoring. Thanks fellas!

I'll be giving a review of the Ohlins after my next event, but I'm already in love with these.


The setup,
Wheels - 17x9 +60 matt black PF01ss
tires - Dunlop Z2 255 squared
height - 13.25 square (center of hub to fender)
camber - 2.8 square

I do have some adjustments to make, I'm sure my alignment and ride height wont be the same for long, but I had to start somewhere.





Gas can? Yeah, had to do some pressure washing that afternoon...

Interested to hear your review of the coilovers. Once dialed in you should share some close up pics and measurements fender gaps. Assume you're getting alignment and/or corner balancing with these bad boys.

Interested for the review on the dfv's. From what Ive read there isnt much travel on the rear of the dfvs even at the manufacturers suggested height? Are you rubbing the fronts with your current setup? Are the fronts rolled? Keep up the good work, i love a functional s2k!

Just installed my DFV's from urge this weekend as well, waiting for a practice auto x day for a review. Did you guys fiddle with sway bars before going to a square setup?

I've had an alginment already, although I have to find a set of scales for the corner balance. I may be buying a set because there are no businesses like that in South Ga. They should be relatively close though, I used Gernby's setup guide to an extent.

Yeah, like Gernby has already mentioned, you don't have much travel in the back. I don't believe it will be an issue as long as your conservative on the ride height.

My front tabs are pushed back and the fender liner is cut accordingly, but they are not rolled. I might need to do that at a later date. I have no rubbing from lock to lock.

I've got a Gendron monster hollow up front. I'll soon be switching to a miata front for the rear. That Gendron bar has been one of my favorite mods. I imagine if I took it off, stock would feel like a bus. lol



Thanks for all the fellas
