this was my car with stock front arms, RR Racing Street Version Ultimate Steering Response System (USRS), and Megan Racing rear camber arms.

from some of the pics I saw, the swifts still had a very slight reverse rake.
I went with eibachs for this reason. They sit perfect. I’m actually thinking about going to coils to get slightly lower

Not sure if many know or not, the speed limit also comes from the wheel and tire design - the 245/265 setup along with load rating and sidewall plus the alloy wheels. The other factors would be chassis limits and how the whole subframe can handle it. I hit the speed limit once, I think going past that is not really great for this chassis.

I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't feel good seeing a k-car overtake you because you hit the limiter going down the main straight on a race track.
As i understand it, Lexus puts the limiter more so for to comply with regulations. As mine is a JDM is500, the speed limit is set to 180kmh or 110mph.

That's actually pretty great. The factory front camber recommendations on these cars is super super weak.
