If I did it again, maybe 1.5 way front and 1.5 way rear (can reshim them to 2 way if needed).
I'd hate to see what a 2 way would be like to try and tame, sure skids are great but trying to be fast would be difficult. Matty05 on here started with the 2 way and reverted it back to 1.5 as it was a bit full on. I'm thinking long sweeping corners on a big track would be good but the tighter stuff around RAC isn't so easy?
Is the consensus to go less upfront? Say 1.5 upfront if 2 in the back or 1 up front if 1.5 in the rear? It's a bit off for me anyway, I think I can still oga bit faster as is.

They are awesome for daily. Car sounds like its smashed shit when you try and park it. Add some track brake pads for the full surround sound setup. Gets the bitches moist.

Yeah, I wouldn't go a 2 way plated rear (have 2 way sti rear at the moment) as when the poo hits your undies, you need to keep your foot burried into the firewall. If you back off (natural instinct) it becomes a great tank slapper (insert 101 videos of me doing this at AHG). Not good when driving at the speed limit *cough* on public roads. That's why I'd go a 1.5 way rear as it is more controllable when you stuff up.

As for the front, I believe Brendon put a 1.5 way in the GC8 (Steve could confirm?) so that might be the better option. I believe you can shim the 1 way to a 1.5 way too, but never looked into it.
tuna and monkeee like this.

I had a 1.5way front and 2 way rear in my gc, I think 1 and 1.5 way would be my future preference
