AutoX'd this weekend. Loved the way they handled!!


It was my second time AutoX'ing (first time on the new summer rims/tires and the YYZ's)

4 out of 10 in STX (beat by two BRZ's and a WRX, by veteran drivers lol)
40 out of 147 PAX
51 out of 147 RAW



now just to work on the driver mod to keep up with those other STX cars out there! Definitely happy with how these things perform on the track (and DD for that matter)

I said it before, and I'll say it again, these springs combined with a decent sway bar out handle anything I've driven/ridden in, pretty much ever. I find my self turning off the esc all the time now because if I don't I seem to trigger it a lot I can not wait to get back out at Road America to chase down some Z06s in the twisties.

Very good point, that was another of the extra "ah ha's " that I found on track, putting power down was so much better....Like out of Canada corner up by you for example...

Agreed, I find the Quaife is able to do its job better, its very easy to get it to rotate with throttle. Front grip is very much there and very useable

Hit some real twisties for the first time today with YYZ and hardcore bar. The car is so neutral in the corners. I know i'm beating a dead horse but these things are incredible. Oh and my recommendation for those who live in the snowy areas of the country, take off you rear sway bar if you dd in the winter. I hit some gravel roads today and the car went all tokyo drift on me. As fun as it was it is def not the best setup for winter driving.

Compared to Eibach Sportlines How much do the YYZ rust? ( I live in FL so no salt from melting snow)

Does anyone know the Diameter and Hight of the REAR YYZ springs? I want to install the airlift 1000 ragbags in the rear springs, but I don't know what size to get.
