It may help with that, but there's no band aid fix for the fact that the internal seals on the CSC are plastic, and they're a ticking time bomb whether you swap the pedal or not. Always have the cost of a HD CSC and tranny R&R (plus potentially a new clutch if it gets soaked with fluid) in your savings account.

You can add spc toe bolts if you don't want to spend midlink money, but they prone to slipping, this is what I did when I had oem style coilovers. Luckily didn't buy midlink as I went truetype lately.

Ive read about the prone to slipping and modifying subframe to make them fit that is why i am looking into midlink but also the true type cause they are both better in terms of adjustability. Is the true type working out better for you? I notic that you do have rjm. Have you yet to have your csc failed on you?

I cannot compare both coilovers, one was 12kg/12kg, the other is much stiffer at 21kg/7kg (truetype is stiffer with lower spring rates at the back). Modifying the subframe wouldn't affect anything if you installed spl eccentric lock kit.


About rjm, I had rjm pedal only before, it made a big difference in how I engage the clutch.

I went through two oem csc, one before the pedal, which failed at 18k kms, the other at around 40k kms. I bought the car at 13k kms, so maybe the first owner wasn't familiar with 3 pedal cars. I used the car mainly in track, so this affected the second csc life.

(4100) Te37 wheels including center cap cover and rays hubring (4100)
(230). R40 Iconix Lug nuts
(350). Set of pressure sensor Autel maxi tpms ts508
(1200) Brand new michelin pilot tires
(1300) Brand new michelin winter tires
(370). Diff cover plus gear motul fluid/Spl diff solid bushing that i then replaced with whiteline poly
(70). 3 extra motul diff gear oil to reflush after break in
(98). whiteline poly bushing
(150). Z1 subframe collar
(1900) Motordyne shockwave
(155) Phillips X-treme Vision bulb
(114) K&N drop in filter
(140). Raceseng ahift knob
(260). Windows tint
(50). Dress up bolts

Which puts me over 10k at the moment and im not even close halfway through my build. This puts me over 50k already including the car plus mod. Im at the brand new supra territory now and im starting to second guess myself. I value your opinion and thanks in advance.
You can save your allotted window tint and diff cover money in finding a different exhaust like Greddy, Fast Intentions, or HKS. Do as you wish as it is your car and money, but the Motordyne is priced pretty lofty considering there's no benefit to it over the aforementioned names. I'd even argue the quality is better across the board, but that's likely splitting hairs. Point is you can get equal or better quality for a solid $600 less if you're on the brink of busting the budget, or just have it to put elsewhere.

Good point, thanks!

Edit: unfortunately, the parts listed above are already bought and installed.
