2022 BRZ Build - Suspension Cup Kit - EP13

[@Ch3mG33k]

This is my favorite ZD8 build on youtube; very excited to see what comes next!

[@CrazyCat229]

It's nice that you explain each modification. Most channels just slap stuff on and call it better. I am very interested in autoxing and maybe doing local track day and time trials with my car. Like that you explained the classes, and why you chose those parts.

[@stratifiedauto]

We all go through this decision process when modding. Hoping these videos shed some light on why choose one over the other.

[@tomchick123]

Just wanna say thank you!

[@ravenstylea2]

Looks awesome. What's your wheel/tire setup?

[@stratifiedauto]

Kosei K1 wheels 17x8.5 et40. Tires are 235/45/17 RT660

[@1125shogun]

Are we able to tune out the cold start yet?

[@jerio60]

The Cup Kit on your website, is it installed at Stratified or do you source it to Dales for example?

[@stratifiedauto]

Install and alignment to our specs will be done at our partners for now. We can also of course bring the parts in our shop for you to source installation.

[@ArmySigs]

How do the stiffer ARBs effect the car over bumps, especially around corners? I do mostly road driving and making the car too stiff slows me down on bumpy roads.

[@stratifiedauto]

They do make the ride a bit bumpier as more of the suspension motion felt on one side of the car transfer to the other side through the sway bars.

[@bluelacyseo8964]

The RT660 is a great tire for autocrossing (I have a set) but I know they tend to overheat on a track.

[@stratifiedauto]

Agree not the best track tire.

[@bluelacyseo8964]

@@stratifiedauto - Still would like to see how the BRZ performs on the track. I'm autocrossing my GR86 and plan on tracking too.

[@stratifiedauto]

It is great on track especially in the sport class.

[@ArturoZamoraT]

What Bilstein shocks are you guys using for this application? B6 or B8?

[@stratifiedauto]

These are B8. We offer Koni in our cup kit.

[@S.E.T.4Life]

Does this suspension set up sacrifice comfort for performance

[@stratifiedauto]

Not very much at all. The sport setup is a very nice compromise.

[@r6mt09]

What wheels are those? Spec?

[@Teddythedonkey]

hey would it be possible to test the GruppeM Ram air intake in the future ?

[@stratifiedauto]

Perhaps. We have content in the works on how to improve this setup further.

[@i-barg]

Since no one has asked here yet... what are you thoughts on the whole oil pressure loss debate? Considering you are going to be tracking it are you concerned? Any plans on running baffle / oil cooler / higher weight / weight etc...

[@stratifiedauto]

Interesting you ask. So we do have a horizontal baffle in the car and run 5w30 oil. We do have upgraded cooling and just today installed oil pressure instrumentation. Next track day is this weekend and we are collecting data … and will share shortly.

[@i-barg]

@@stratifiedauto amazing! really excited to see this! Def connect with @900BRZ if you havent already he is doing similar work

[@i-barg]

@@stratifiedauto - Any updates on the pressure data?

[@noneofmybusiness9895]

Do you offer tunes for both the brz and the VB wrx?

[@stratifiedauto]

Yes we do. Here are the tunes for them: www.stratifiedauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=324_325&products_id=1087 www.stratifiedauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=152_203&products_id=989

[@noneofmybusiness9895]

@@stratifiedauto so for clarification, for a fresh FA24 that's 100% stock, we're looking at $1200 USD for a tune for two fuels (91 and E85), but I would have to bring a Cobb AP?

[@MoistyBoxers]

What’s the offset of these wheels?

[@stratifiedauto]

17x8.5 ET40

[@alexandram9477]

darn it, now i'm terrified i installed my camber bolts like that

[@stratifiedauto]

Just be careful when setting the washer in. This is not that common of an occurrence - as in I didn’t see too many share this issue but it can happen.

[@alexandram9477]

@@stratifiedauto I installed them myself over a year ago so I don't remember - hopefully I did it right! the alignment guys seemed impressed but who knows

[@avery4528]

Seems a bit silly that in one class you assemble a new coilover vs buying a set.

[@stratifiedauto]

Sometimes the rules are silly. But the selection for springs and shocks for this chassis is much slimmer than coils.
