Huge thanks to Joey @ E-Motion Engineering for my new setup. Not the first time we’ve worked together and certainly not the last. Onto the money shots:

Looks great. Is that about 1" lower than stock?

Awesome. 90% certain I'll be going gold E88s for my track setup. Are those 20"s or 19"s? How are you liking the Swift springs? I see a lot of guys running Hoosiers, Pirelli DH scrubs, increased aero, etc. and still on the stock damper/spring combo so it makes me wonder about increased spring rates as a missed opportunity for them...or if it's not really needed.

Outstanding! This is THE look and I bet it will perform great. What right height spec and alignment did you go with? Thanks much!

They’re 19’s with RS tire sizes (265/325) and the swifts are .2 RS spring rates. Barely got a chance to drive it but can already feel an immediate difference, extremely flat in corners but surprisingly still compliant. Not any less comfortable on the street as before.

Don’t know them off the top of my head, I’d have to check my spec sheet. All I can say is it’s pretty low.

If you could look at your sheet I’m desperate to know. There literally is zero real set up info on GT3 like there is on the RS.

What’s the mounted circumference of these tires vs the larger .2 oem setup? Curious how your traction control behaves at limit.
Back looks low /minimal rake but hard to say pics can hide.
clearly i like e88 lol. Have 3 sets of them.

Off the top of my head I believe my E88 setup has around half an inch smaller circumference than the stock setup. According to Joey what matters is the ratio between the front and rear sizes, and that’s the same with both setups.
