What did you do to your Type R today?

[RepyT]

Lowered my car with R SR springs. Very happy with how low it is now. Glad I have a friend that is experienced doing this stuff.

Getting alignment?
Just curious how much lower and how much negative camber was affected. Adding adj rear camber arms (not that it appears to need them)?

I changed to 255/35 19” 9.5” (ET 41 vs OEM 61) and gained about -2.7 rear camber. Later added arms (and fresh PS4S vs A/S) and align dropped camber to -.17… but loaded heavy, it rubbed (all 4 in sharp turns & numbs). Shaved front plastic tabs and added -1 camber fixed rear rub.
Wishing you none of those issues but lowering changes camber, looks good.

Took mine on a 1400 mile roadtrip to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this past weekend for the Indycar race. 34-35mpg at 80mph. Awesome trip.

I do plan to get alignment in a week or so. I’m letting the springs settle for a bit. I don’t have rear camber arms but if I end up needing them I will get them. Should be 1 inch in the back and .6 to .8 in the front for these springs. Wasn’t a massive drop but definitely looks way better than before.

Round 5 with Nasa Utah on the Outer Loop. The WERC enduro series came through and I got to be part of a pit crew for an E0 team that ended up taking P1. Very fun but exhausting and hot weekend!

Pic of my car next to the race team I was pit crew for, Type R love!

Here is the clip of my weekend best

You running a stock CTR or hatch?
I'm getting "21mpg" on the highway, probably closer to 16 right now haha.

The Spoon rear bumper is on and I couldn’t be happier. Go Tuning was amazing and even helped with some accessories.

Dusted off my mic and got some sounds of this CTR with a P600 and AWE exhaust.

Ugh. I told myself that I was just going to stick to stock front/rear end instead of going full spoon, but now I'm not so sure. The lines look super smooth in CBP.

Hoods almost done, just needs to be sanded and cleared but coming along great

Nice! You're on Dallas?? Now I *got* to see this... Are you on IG? We got a DFW FK8 group chat with a couple of people who left, so we got room if you're open to chat with local owners. Maybe follow @dfw_fk8s so the admin can get you in
