1993 NA

ST springs purchased in 2000. According to the ad, they lower the car 1.3". I'm not sure how much they lower a '93 and I'm not sure if these are the same as the springs that they still sell.

ST sway bars, 15/16" front and 7/8" rear

Tokico Illuminas

-2.5 degrees front camber
-2.0 degrees rear camber

Greddy rear upper strut tower brace
forgot the brand of the front brace

Enkei RPF1
front - 16x7 +30
rear - 16x8 +32

Toyo R888
225/45 & 245/45

Results:
When I first put these rear tires on I got some minor slices caused by the inner lip on the rear fenders. I had those lips ground off and the problem went away.

The car understeers during autoxing unless I set the front struts on the softest setting and the rear struts on the stiffest setting. I kinda regret getting such a heavy front bar but before I replace it with a smaller one I'm going to increase my negative camber in the front. My pyrometer says I need it. After that I'll reevaluate my front bar. I also have to consider the fact that the tight turns in autoxing have a greater tendency to induce understeer. The car doesn't understeer as much on the track or on the road.
