So Lets have it. What have you seen work well to properly prep the Z for this class?
I'll start, but know that I am woefully under prepped for the class, and really only have the wheels to thank for the bump from B Street.
Wheels: Enkei Kojin 18x9.5 Square
Tires: Bridgestone RE-71's 265/35 Square
Susp Mods: H&R springs (On the car when I got it), Camber washers to get camber needed for 265's.
Alignment: Will be looking for advice on Street/Auto-x alignment specs
Brakes: Stock everything for now, but will need advice on a quick grab/semi quiet pad
Aero: Not needed, but I love the look of the coupe with the APR GTC-200 (don't judge me  ) Not sure how the 10" rule applies to our cars, or what the overall measurements of that spoiler are |
For alingment settings... do you plan to drive the car as daily? If daily i would say -2.5 camber/0 toe and -1.9-2.1 rear camber/1/16 total toe rear.
If it is more of a weekend toy i would stay around the same rear settings but bump the front camber t0 -3 or more depending on how the car handles.
The only issue you might have is clearnance issues between the top of the strut and the tire. When you use camber washer you effectively move the top of the tire closer to the strut to increase camber vs a camber plate that moves the strut and wheel in unison. So with that large tire you might be limited to the amount of camber you can run but i cant say for sure. When i ran the camber washers i was only running 245 front tire so i could basically max out the camber and still have clearnace. I am running a 275 front now and I would not be able to run the washers due to how tight the clearance is.
If you're looking for a good shop to do alignments in YYC check out my friends shop called "Haute AG".... I autoxed/tracked alot with him in college so he knows what you will be looking for. Just tell him Adam sent you
