Brian,
I have your "70" motor mounts in my 09. If I do the swap, will I HAVE to get the "shorts" 70s?

Then 2.5 works with the standard height mounts....and most 2.5 conversions are using regular height mounts, including this car.

Brian,
If I can only afford one option on a 2.5 swap, should I do cams or header? Down the road I'll add the missing piece.

Easy....header. Factory header is junk.

Re: Back in Winning Blue. Our 'new' Project Blue!
Brian,
I just ordered Ohlins (7/4), Progress sways, and RB end links from you yesterday (Sean is top notch btw). I think you're running the Progress units on Project Blue, so I'm wondering what sway bar settings you've chosen for street, autocross, track, etc. I realize there are other variables to consider (conditions, alignment, experience, etc.), but your input would be a good reference point. Thanks.

I suggest most folks follow the product description starting settings.
Since my wife also autocrosses this car too we started with more conservative settings on the sways and have slowing adjusted it to where I like it. I like a tail-out car, I like to be able to go deep in the corner and have the ability to just SLIGHTLY lift my throttle foot (like from mid-corner modulation of 50% to 40%) and have the car tighten it's line to the apex on demand. For most folks that's MUCH TOO MUCH tail out and they will spin the car over and over...and my wife spun the car even with the conservative settings for the first two years of her racing but now she is good enough to appreciate and drive my settings and catch the back if it steps out more than needed. With that said, and expressing lots of CAUTION that this will be too much oversteer for most folks, I run full loose on front Progress bar, full tight on rear Progress bar.

Re: Back in Winning Blue. Our 'new' Project Blue!
Thanks Brian - that's helpful, and a good reason to test things at autocross. Can't wait to get this stuff installed and see how it compares to my FM/Tokico/RX8 yellow setup.
