Rusty

Yeah.....it was the Bell diff brace. There were a few more after that.

They also don't seem to make it readily available where they're sourcing their stuff from, even when there's an official partnership (i.e. with Brembo or Akebono or something)

Neither divorced nor "true" style will make any difference for your purposes

Pick a good brand of coilover that can be serviced near where you live; that's probably a bigger consideration

SPL everything

then find a good alignment shop and you're on your way

if you're serious about tracking, then go do it. Seat time is better than any mod (other than the safety/cooling ones)

As others have said.. doesn’t matter if you go divorced or true. True might be easier to adjust ride height, but both can give you identical performance.

How much do you want to lower the car by? If you’re serious about “performance” I wouldn’t recommend a large drop, or else you’ll throw off the camber curves and have a greater chance of rubbing tire. You’ll also need more parts to get back in alignment spec.

If you’re budget limited, stick to a 1” MAX drop. You can use eccentric bolts for toe and camber and get everything in spec. This is significantly cheaper than buying SPL toe and camber arms, eccentric lockout plates, etc…

If you’ve got the money to drop, go with SPL. High quality stuff, easy to adjust, won’t ever break, but it’s not necessary.

My experience: BC divorced coilovers, PLM eccentric bolts for camber and toe. Done 3 track days and 10+ Autox events without any slip in the PLM eccentric bolts.

Thank you ..
Can you share the link of eccentric bolts for toe and camber ..
I think this will be good for me as of now, then once I get more budget, I will go SPL everything. As explained by you guys earlier.

SPL Parts for everything
arms and eccentric bolts

get all the parts first, do ONE install and ONE alignment to save yourself time/labor

IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT TRACKING

invest time and money into test fitting a helmet (required) and seat (more work, but if you're gonna do it, do it safely)

This is what I’ve got. I grabbed them on sale about 2 years ago, and looks like they’re still on sale. You do need to enlarge the bolt slots with a dremel though, so there is work involved.

Make sure you go to a reputable alignment shop that will align it properly. Make sure they torque it down to at least the OEM spec or else you COULD have slip.

OptionZero

nothing

They offer a wide range of products from ho-hum street stuff to race car stuff. They are based in Australia so anyone in that region will naturally favor them. A few American places use them too, so they have some reach outside of the area.

Otherwise, they're just one other option

If you want to know why that particular poster recommended them without giving any explanation, look at his location.

This is a more esoteric difference - if you intend to ever get air cups, it might be easier with true type.
