Got our set for testing for the track. We will see what better fitment wheels we can get with the rear camber kit installed. I heard you can start pre ordering these!

I don't know about any future plans at this time.

So after having the springs on for while whats your feed back on them? Still a comfortable ride? Does the car handle better since it has a lower center of gravity? Noticed any better traction when launching? Did it help wheel hop from launch? Did it have any torque steer, under or over steer? Im ready to pull the trigger on some springs just not sure which route im gonna go. I had eibach sportlines on my 9th gen and that thing makes noise when u turn the steering wheel from a stop, does these springs make any noise?

These springs are comfortable since they are very close to OEM spring rates. I don't launch the car so I can't answer those questions. No torque steer to report. These springs have not made any noises.

I would love to stiffen up the spring rates on my next setup (for track purpose). Either stiffer springs or sway bars. Haven't decided yet.

So is our only option for the R going to be springs, do you think we will be able to get adjustable damper kits down the line? Or is dampers not possible due to the steering and damper controls/modes?

There will probably be coils sooner or later. You’ll just lose the dampening adjustmentnpart of the driving mode
