Hey guys, I’m hoping that someone could help me out with this one.
If you get in your FK8 and turn the wheel ALL the way to the left, and then ALL the way to the right, does it stop in the same relative position? Or is it ever so slightly different?
Thanks in advance for checking.
Front 315/30/18 18x11 Over -3*
Rear 265/35/18 18x9.5 -2.5*
Lowered on HKS Coilovers, No rub at all, nothing rolled.
I had the 315’s on 11’s on the rear for a square setup, but I didn’t like the handling characteristics. They would rub slightly at full compression, but were otherwise fine.
Both pins should be installed, or both should be removed. Only exception would be if the vehicle was in an accident and the body shop needed to correct for the damage.
The front toe is a perfect 0.00
The rear toe is .02 different, which is nothing.
I’d call that alignment near perfect if those were the specs you were looking for. I personally run toe out in the rear but that’s because it’s not my daily. Kudos to the shop that did it for you, it’s perfect if...
I agree with a couple of points that burglar has already made. Take the $8k plus the positive equity in your Si and get the car you really want. My wife and I have both a CTR and an Si, the headroom in the CTR is much more than the Si. I drive with a tilted head and the seat reclined further...
The RT660 is good for local competition and learning the car. It will not be able to keep up with the the RE71R’s on this platform though. The Bridgestone has a better sidewall which gives a crisper feel, and I believe the ability to stay on your line a little better. Multiple side-by-side tests...
No it won’t cause issues, it may look a little funny though as that’s a short tire for our cars. Run them if you already have them, then buy something more suited to the car after they wear out. Also, running a wider tire in the winter is not beneficial. ?
At stock height, I would recommend a taller tire. If you are lowering it, it will be fine. Of those options, I prefer stock height and a taller tire.

With the lowering springs, you may have very minor rubbing on big dips. If you could find wheels you like in an offset closer to 45, that would be ideal. But I’ll admit, the 35 offset will give more of a flush look. I’ve personally fit and raced on 11” wheel widths, so 9.5 shouldn’t be a problem.
After installing this screen, it no longer auto dims the screen when going from sunlight to dark. Minor inconvenience, but I preferred to have the dimming feature over the buttons and volume knob.
I picked up a 2019 screen with volume knob and installed it on my 2018. I used it for about 6 months before deciding to go back to my 2018 knob-less screen. It works flawlessly and only takes about 10 minutes to install, it plugs into your existing head unit. There is one small scuff on the top...
Hello! Our models use the ABS speed sensors to monitor tire pressure. It does that by watching the speed of each wheel and if one (or two) of them are spinning faster than the others, if would indicate that the pressure is low in that tire. If you have two new tires and two nearly worn out...
I run the 265 because I want the extra MPH at the top of 2nd gear, and I want the most tread width possible. Because it’s an RE71 with a stiff sidewall, it still feels responsive. I would not do the same with a BFG Rival.
Also, my TR screen shows the weights as 26 and 27 respectively.
There are companies that sell adjustable camber top hats for the stock struts, but some the reviews state that the spring perch will contact the frame before you achieve the camber that you desire. Another option is an extended lower ball joint.
I would recommend that you try the following...
