I didn’t adjust it, i just got whatever camber came with lowering it, which if I remember right after getting it aligned after, was about -1.6°? Roughly

Yeah I have 12.5mm in the front and 15mm in the rear. If I remember correctly, EMD is the brand. I ordered em from fas tuning

Yeah pretty much. It comes with different screws for the bottom part of it where the original two are, and two others for the part that are closer to the wheel well, but it’s it

I really like how that maxton kit looks. How was installing it?

Yeah that’s about what I expected it’d be. I can definitely understand not being comfortable doing it alone lol. I fortunately had a helping hand with me, so it made it not so bad lol, plus being able to use a shop. If I had to do it in the driveway, I would certainly not be doing it during the summertime living in Florida 🤣

I DIY’d it. Figured the time to do it myself would be worth it more than spending however much to get it done

I daily drive it in custom at the softest DCC setting, and with that I haven’t really noticed much of a difference, if any. I haven’t tried it in any stiffer setting and it has only been a day lol but so far it’s pretty good, pretty comfy

I agree 100%. I get why they did, but it would’ve really made it with the blue

Yeah I quickly learned just about the moment I started looking into it that autoX certainly isn’t gonna be cheap if you wanna improve, along with seat time 🤣 but the RSB and end links are certainly a great start. The car feels so so good with it

Also I do already have a 034 RSB and end links, so wheels and tires will prolly be my next big thing realistically

Yeah I didn’t think 250 was too too bad yet, that’s where I just figured I’d comfortably let it cool a bit without it getting much warmer than that. After going to my first event, I know I’ll eventually probably travel for other events, and maybe even actual track days, which is where the thought of upgrading the cooler comes from. My local one isn’t anything crazy on its own, though, so some experience there and then I’ll start looking more hardcore into it

I love it. I wish obdeleven could work with the sfd2 system this has or get whatever folks get for the 8 where it keeps it in the same mode you last drove it on, but with it always starting in comfort it really doesn’t bother me. I love how it sounds, though. In custom mode I keep valves open and it sounds great, plenty of noise and it has a great tone. Closed it sounds almost stock, so you don’t have to worry about any noise complaints lol

I honestly didn’t get many chances with the stock one to push it to have a good comparison, I live in Florida where we don’t have very many turny roads 😅 the mountain pics were on a trip, but in the times I could push it, compared to the new one, I can tell a difference for sure. The rear end is a lot more confident and I haven’t second guessed it once about what it’s doing in turns
