90 S-4

puyi,

What you say about the springs is propbably true, I asked the engineers
at the place I bought them from ( http://performanceshock.com/ ) the same
question, they said it didn't matter, maybe they knew they were talking to
a novice
Mark Anderson could probably detect the differance if they were swapped
back and forth but the other 99.99% of us would never know.
Thanks for the tip though, next time I'm in there taking stuff apart I'll
put them on the bottom, at least it'll then look like I know what I'm doing

Sway bar info >
"Hollow" 1-1/4" OD
pt #608-120-37.5 .120" wall w/6'' arms

Thanks,
Joe

Joe -

I saw your car at Cars & Coffee on Saturday. I tried to find you but after spending too much time oogling the McLaren and the Aventador, I missed you. Great job on making the car looks so immaculate.

Hello Dennis, really sorry I missed you, yea there's always some pretty cool stuff there.
Thanks again for your advice in helping me to pick out my spring rates -- couldn't be happier !

I found this a week ago and then this thread came up, kinda cool video on springs

neat video, I never watched them make a coil before -- pretty cool ..

The flange is a custom cnc machined flange - it is not cut from the S4 intake.

Lizard, I can see where you'd get confused, I wasn't attempting
to weld mag to alum -- the attached pics show the bottom
flanges are made from the same block of alum that the bells
were made from.

You maka me cry joe, you maka me cry

Absolutely stunning work Joe, you should be very proud.

I have never seen all the fasteners so clean, are they new / re-plated?

58 Speedster

Really, really awesome car. Great work...I'm jealous!

Lizard928

That is absolutely beautiful Joe!

If you had standalone EFI on your car I would be trying to convince you to help make a VVT system for our cars.......

90 S-4

ghinkel, all replated

58 speedster, we have something in common, I work at >

Lizard, standalone is already here and already mapped, it'll go in
just before the stroker does.

V V T -- well, I think that is over my head I'll leave it to someone else
I'd rather have an additional 2 ltrs anyway and in case thats
not enough I have a almost complete supercharger in storage

I just have to say that i admire the work you have done to your 928.

I wonder what length for the lower brace you chose. I was thinking of building my own from scratch, but if it can be bought for around $50 then is this a better option.

A other question, what length and rate did you choose for your front sway bar, did you check Carl's rates or did you go for a different setup.

MattiasH,
It was pure luck they happen to have the right length (30") or I would
have had to start from scratch as well, the $50 was for everything, the
bar, the two heim ends & jam nuts

re: swaybar rate > I copied Mike Simard
The swaybar length is 37.5" X 1.25" O.D. - Hallow
The rates are in the website

My front coilovers are 750lb , this combo is great.
Rears are 375-lb
