Like.I ran Steeda Sport springs on my 2011 with Koni Oranges for a few years with Steeda camber plates. They were better all around than the stock springs/dampers. The car was composed on the track without being harsh on the street. I wanted to try...

Those rear pads look like a big clue to the instability under braking that you’re reporting in your other thread. 3 of the 4 are down to metal but the 4th appears to have decent material left. I suspect you have a sticking or dragging rear...- twistedneck replied to the thread S550 Sledgehammer.How do you like the calimer trans and vengeance clutch combo at high rpm? Is that a single plate with light steel flywheel? I’m looking at a simple exedy right now. I have a calimer stage 1, but my spec stage 2+ springs are cooked and it can’t... (see full post)

bnight reacted to Dave_W's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.Remember, though, the adjusters are working on the valving that's built into the shocks with the shim stack.
