Is this with 750f 600r ?
That's quite a bit of roll or at least more than what I would think for that spring rate.


This is a video of my car with Bilstein PSS's 340f 285r and I was surprised that it doesn't actually lean more than it does
still trying to figure out what spring rate to run with these. I'm only running a CR front bar and stock rear bar. It wasn't a good auto x day for me that day

Yes 750F/600R
Comptech FSB at 200% stock stiffness
Rear bar on

There are other factors (like tire grip) in how much a car leans, and it may not matter as long as the driver makes it happen.


I'd say your car is leaning more in this frame from the video.

Very true, I was on concrete and you are on asphalt, you may also be on stickier or wider tires as well and it wasn't a good day for me so I might not have been getting every bit of traction possible.

According to the Tire Rack website, their TR Motorsport C3 wheel is available.

17 x 9 +62mm

19lb for the 17 x 9

Any reason not to get these?

I think the 19 lbs a piece is whats stopping a lot of people from getting them. They look like a decent choice, and they are pretty cheap
