Ive seen those daizen camber kits and bushings. What do most people do, battle ver. Toe and traction rods and then putin new poly bushings in? Im for sure getting jic rods and super now rod ends, and stance gr2 coils. Affer that im trying to figure things out. Btw i hate pressing new bushings cuz i suck at it.
correct me if im wrong but the stance gr2 coils arnt available for the supra sc platform are they? this would make me mad after just buying my gr+

i technically have GR+pro's on my car.

the difference between the GR+ and GR+pro are the helper springs. you can order the helper springs separately from Stance, put then on, and have yourself some GR+pro's

its that simple. i have them on the rear only right now. being slammed and drifting it helps a bit in preventing some doglegging but i have not noticed much of a difference though.

the front doesnt need it and in fact doesnt have room for helper spring whel really lowered. the front end doesnt have enough spring travel to require helper springs.

2 ways or aluminum SSD's would be really nice though

You like the spring rate on those? I was looking and they come 18k fromt 10 rear. Now ive heard alot of good things about BC coilovers and their 18k front 8k rear. Anyways too hard out back or just right?

too hard in the rear? that seems too soft for drifting but thats just my opinion. it also seems like a large difference front to rear.

but Im no expert.

Yea. You want some level of squat for good traction. I mean there is too stiff. But that is a huge difference docent seem balanced. Might be more of a drag setup...

I's going to order a set of Stance's with the helper springs from Pavel's friend once I get my funds together. For angle, personally I was looking at these. Satoru Works knuckles I haven't heard of anyone running them. So I guess no harm in being the guinea pig. And Alex what's up with BattleVersion.com? I was trying to contact you to grab a set of traction and toe arms from you but the site is down. I need a number brother.

The pricing for those is just plain silly even if they are brand spanking new knuckles
