  1. Autocross STH Class thread!

    Depends are wheel/tire width and sidewall stiffness also. A true street tire will have a softer sidewall for compliance (with variations between models/brands). The super 200s are stiffer (again with variations). Then how wide of a wheel you are running will matter too. So the GS guys will run...
  2. Autocross STH Class thread!

    I had the first opportunity to run the Karcepts bar in an autocross setting. I had it set on 3/3, so 1265in/lbs. 3x stock stiffness. Whoa. That was a lot of bar for me, it turns out. I went from managing understeer to fighting oversteer. I think it may have held me back some because it felt like...
  3. How to install SS brake lines

    I just did this. Fluid does not come pouring out. It is a pretty slow drip. I had all the clips released and the hose ready to come out. Then broke the connection loose at the caliper, moved the hose up to reduce dripping, tightened the new stainless line to the caliper, routed the stainless...
  4. Autocross STH Class thread!

    Got my hands on a Karcepts RSB so I swapped out the 22mm Whiteline today. First chance to test it out will be March 16 up at zMax. The design is really smart. Smooth install and changing the stiffness settings is very easy (though I canā€™t do it on the ground, need to be up on ramps to have...

    I think 17x9 +40 will give you a nice fitment. Post up pics when you get it setup.
  6. Autocross STH Class thread!

    Oh yeah, stock ride height you can go nuts. BBK def not needed for autox, but for track yes. Someone on here has the Wunderladen BBK with a 17ā€ Konig wheel. Probably Decagrams. You can search for it, there are pics on here some place.
  7. Autocross STH Class thread!

    There is no BBK that will fit with the RPF1 in 17. Itā€™s not (just) the spokes, it is the way the barrel is designed. There just isnā€™t enough clearance in there, doesnā€™t matter how much offset you run. I agree with you. I love the way they look when they are fitted up with the 660s. It looks...

    That is why I have 17s šŸ˜‚
  9. Autocross STH Class thread!

    They donā€™t make them in a 265 fitment for 17. You wonā€™t really find anything in a 265 on 17. You are limited to 255. If you want to max out allowed width for the class youā€™ve got to run an 18 and go 265/35/18. Thatā€™s what top drivers at Nats are doing on this chassis. Thatā€™s all Iā€™m saying.
  10. Autocross STH Class thread!

    You will see people mix tire types from and rear also (e.g. Yoks in front Stones in rear). The nationally competitive Civics in STH run 265/35 squared on 18x9 to max the allowable tire width for the class. You wonā€™t find a good 265 fitment on a 17x9 (RT660 in 255 does have 261.6mm tread width so...
  11. Suspension differences ?

    Not to be a downer, but if you are set on the 2.0 NA then I donā€™t think minor suspension differences are going to matter a whole lot.
  12. Auto(Wide) brake pedal on SI for heel-toe?

    I know this isnā€™t exactly what you are asking, but these look really nice. Havenā€™t used them myself but have thought about it. https://www.srpracing.com/

  14. Non-Power, Performance/Handling mods

    I DD the Wunderladen Rmm (street) with no issues. Definitely subjective. The only passengers I ever carry are my kids and they never complain about any car related things. Just everything else šŸ˜‚
  15. Autocross STH Class thread!

    17x9 +35. Strut pin plus Whiteline adjustable ball joints. 17x9 +40 would be a better fitment. I had my heart set on RPF1 and they run either +45 or +35 in 17x9. Iā€™d probably do +45 with a 3 or 5 mm spacer if I was doing it again. Itā€™s a bit tight. šŸ˜‚
  16. Autocross STH Class thread!

    Yeah, same. I am currently running RT660, which was a competitor to the RE71R back when that was top of the heap tire. It is around $50 cheaper per tire than Stones or Contis in 255/40. Supposed to be fairly durable. Worth considering if you havenā€™t. I am interested to run the RE71RS though...
  17. Autocross STH Class thread!

    I'm definitely happy the thread is revived as we start gearing up for a new season! The above is good advice. It is pretty incredible how quickly autox will eat up a street tire! The difference is pretty negligible re: the rev limiter. I also am running 17x9 with a 255/40. It will depend on...
  18. Coilovers for a 2019 Touring Sedan - Lots of conflicting info

    Alright, if you look at these, it should give you a pretty good sense. This is a 17x9 +35 with 255/40 RT660. The 18x9.5 +38 would push out 3.4mm further for the wheel, but you can see that if the tire had some taper to it (these are very square shoulders) then it would come in under the fender...
  19. Coilovers for a 2019 Touring Sedan - Lots of conflicting info

    It will push out past the fender a little bit. It will look flush to the eye from most angles, more flush than 18x8.5 +38, which is actually inset a little bit, but if you look at it straight on or straight down you will see that the wheel extends beyond the fender. If you run a bit of a stretch...
  20. Coilovers for a 2019 Touring Sedan - Lots of conflicting info

    I would suggest at least considering the 18x9.5 +38 in the T6R. 18x8.5 +38 is a fine fitment. I like that fitment for a daily too. I have NT03 in that size as my daily wheels. But with Enkeis, they don't move to a rear face wheel (concave face) until you get to 9 inch or above. To get the T6R in...
