If you're looking for the Grand Touring setup you'll need the FPSpec Long Stroke.

That's good to know. I am looking more towards a stiffer setup for the track. As for the rubber insulator between the spring and top mount, could i run without it ?

For anyone who is reading this for the first time, as someone who followed the majority of the advice, the only popular cars I cant keep up with are Corvettes and faster Porsche. They just have too much power down the straights compared to my 300whp.

It's good to hear someone is tracking their FD. Not to mention this thread is still alive.
Kudos to you!

Bringing an old thread back to get some much needed updated info. I have gone through this thread trying to find out which aftermarket rear toe link was best. I did read a few post stating they were using the rotary extreme one but those are no longer available. I have seen some on Pettit Racing website but I dont know anyone using them. Please chime in if you are familiar with a good set of toe links. My car is a weekend warrior, mostly street use with occasional roadcourse trackdays.

I have the Super Now toe links and trailing arms. I can’t tell you how they perform yet as I just got the car running. They are, however, very adjustable, and the trailing arms allowed me to fit a 10.5” +50 wheel without modifying the body in any way.

Just passing through to thank the OP for the education. My car has Apexi N1 EXV coilovers installed by my builder and they were dead center (16 clicks every corner). The car always felt manic and ready to kill me. I decided to simply adjust them 8 clicks from softest on the front and 6 clicks from softest on the rear. I just got back from a 125 mile drive and it felt like a whole different car. Never thought adjusting the damping could change it that much. I know they're not an ideal coilover choice, but at least I was able to make it more liveable and enjoyable to drive.
