Is that rear measurement with the rear sway bar still attached?

Looking forward to see how you like them on the track!
Yes middle setting. Are you running coilovers? If so how do yours compare?

March 12th....or sooner to hit the track up here!

What made you go with Nitron rather than MCS or JRZ?

Not on coilovers yet. Still stock suspension for CTR until late next year until I change race classes.
I plan on going Shaftworks as I have them on my 2nd gen BRZ and they work good, plus they are local to SoCal so easier for servicing and aftersupport.

I think if you disconnect the endlink on your rear sway bar, you might get a more accurate measurement of droop.

Had them in the past, worked extremely well. I have also owned MCS on my previous M3. Never had JRZs though.
what did you think about Nitrons vs MCS? I have MCS on my M3. Just curious!

this is cool! 1.5 years later, how's the track review? lol. The rear is interesting, i don't think i've seen the spacer/spring combo setup on any fk8 for the past 7 years or FL5. I could be wrong. I stumbled upon this post looking for rear spring perch spacers for short springs. Could be angle of the pix, but your rear springs don't look that short though. Looks 7" length or so and your spring rate bias is a bit opposite w/ front stiffer. For better performance, usually w/ a divorced setup, you'd want the rear rates to be stiffer. I suppose it could also be based on preference how you'd want the car handle. From the looks of it, you could probably swap springs to be 8/12. I'm running 16k, 6.0" rear swift springs. It's a bit short since both my shock and perch is pretty maxed out. That spacer could do me good. Or i can just get 7.0" springs lol. Anyways, great looking set of hardware.
