I looked and the Turners, but it looks like they will work only with dampers designed to work with the stock upper mount.
    Turner separately sells spring perches for 2.25” and 2.5” diameter springs. I’m using the 2.5” mounts on my street plates right now with Ohlins

      Turner’s or GC’s will work.

        Thanks. I got the impression from the Turner and TCK sites that the diameter and height of the TCK damper would be a problem. TCK site says the stock strut shaft is shorter and larger in diameter than the TCK part.

I think Obi used 375+350/700+675, and if he felt that the car rode great and was compliant on the street, I’m sure I’ll be happy, too.
          Depends what streets you're driving on. In Houston, 700 rear is jarring. In Austin, may be a different story, depending on what part of town you frequent.

            resurfacing this as I asked this question to TCK. he said they won't work, not sure if he's mistaken. he mentioned to use non-M camber plates. hard to get info via email and they don't answer their phone

              Is the tck 14mm (versus typical 16mm)?

              Will Turner or GC not include a bearing (14mm i.d. to 16mm o.d.)?

              I use a bearing in order to put my 14mm MCS into tns street plates. Vorshlag includes the bearing I know for a fact.

              It sounds to me like non M is 14mm then.

              I'm not sure about height being an issue, I don't see how it could be.

                Not sure! You're talking about the sleeve correct? I assume GC can provide it. Come to think of it I'll bet they're a better place to ask than TCK. I'll try em on Mon

                    What spring rate would you recommend for daily/occasional track?

                      Something ~1.8hz front, 2.0hz rear is what I'd aim for.
