Basically, I am just going to post videos about any one of the many things I do in my life. Mostly, it's going to be cars and autocross. Gaming stuff has moved to EastPrime. I might post music here or make another channel, who knows.

    @@sokgso I would, but I think I personally would prefer a 2AR swap. Nothing against K at all but the 2AR is Toyota and has a bit more torque. The problem is just that my 1zz is running so perfectly, I don't have any excuse to swap it out.

Front sway bar on stiff setting and rear sway bar on the softest setting. currently have Toyo proxes R1R 225 rear and 195 front. The Toyos work pretty good, but I feel like there’s probably better options for autocross. I’ll probably get the re71 or advan A052 next

  • @ErikSeastead
    @ErikSeasteadАй бұрын

    I am in Street E, so I've done almost everything I'm allowed. Koni yellow inserts with stock springs, a front swaybar, toyota 3 dot camber bolts in the front, an addco front swaybar, HKS axle-back, 225 square RE71RS on stock wheels, a stock alignment, and of course the hard dog double diagonal rollbar. I have a hardtop but its about 50 lbs so I take it off for autox. For track I'd leave it on, I think it probably is worth for aero purposes but I haven't tested that yet. You sound like youve got a really stiff setup! That's probably best for track. I find that autox parking lots are awful so it can be nice to have a softer ride so that you can keep the tires on the ground. But, I would definitely get some stiffer springs if I could. I drove a K swap (check out my earlier videos) with I believe 4k/6k BC BR and front and rear addco swaybars and it handled pretty amazingly. Its probably sprung sort of similar to yours laterally since the addco bars are a bit bigger than the whitelines. I'm not a huge fan of the damping of coilovers compared to the koni's but the spring rate is a big advantage in terms of limiting body roll and getting that snappy turn in.
