I just got them from RS BARN. I cant wait to install them. Yes i am keeping my t-bars. The valving are for street/track. the rear are 150lbs spring and the fronts are 300lbs spring. the hats and camber plates are from racers edge. One of the best companys to deal with. I directly spoke to the owner which is pete and delt with him the whole time. even did some of the research for me. I went over to his shop late last night which he waited for me until i got there. he gave me a tour and expalined everything to me and even gave some tips on for tracking the car. awsome guy. i also got a bunch of other parts from him before. i'll post up those pics too.

 

ME likey, very much. With the 150lb spring in the back what does that make for an effective spring rate with the tbar?

 

When i get home i'll give you the numbers. It should be just enough because i dont want my car to have a real stif suspension because the roads here are horriable. If i feel that they are too soft i can always change them to make them stiff. I can go up to 250 in the rear with out haveing to revalve.

 

may want to reindex your torsions- i know there is a thread about this but if you keep your torsions stock, and put the coilovers on, the car will bounce off of the coilovers when you hit a bump. You have to put alittle load on them to keep this from happening- as i did.

 

yeah thats what i am planning on doing. its going to be a one long freaking day. a lister is going to help out but i think he is going to be out for a couple of days. If anyone wants to help put out your more than welcome. the height i want it to be is 635mm i think i have to look it one more time. i am measureing from the floor to the center of the outside fender

 

those look nice reno, i've seen the Leda's on the RS Barn web site but guessing these are from another manufacture...are these Bilstein struts? keep us posted on the install and performance of these. thanks.

 

EWWW... "SHINEY"

Get the thickest sway bars you can find to compliment those. Weltmiesters if ya can.

IPSC

 

dude, the way you are going I can foresee a divorce in your future.

 

yes they are Bilstein i sure will keep you guys posted

 

968 M030 bars will do, adj rear drop link, with rsbarns soild mounts and derlin bushing for the rear sway bar and front derlin bushings mixed with oem bushings. and a support brace for the sway bar bracket

 

i told her it would be last mod i do for until winter she gave me the look. if i do it would be part of jims fault because she gets mad/jealous that i hang out with him more than i do with her.

 

dude - you better be nice to that girl - any girls who stays with you....that's once in a lifetime, bro.

 

 

I just did my car. I used Bilstein Escort Cups with Street damping up front, 500# springs in front with 350# in the rear and kept the stock torsion bars which were reindexed to neutral at ride height. I used new rubber bushings on M030 sway bars with drop links. I installed Wrightwood Racing adjustable Camber Plates and machined my own spring hats (I like to do stuff like that). I finished it off with a Brey-Krause Strut Bar. In addition, since I was going to lower the car I also installed RennBay's Geometry Correction Ball Joint kit with 19mm (vs 17mm stock) diameter ball joint diameters.

I find the ride firm but not punishing on the street and the handling is fantastic... 0 body roll it seems and INSTANT turn in! I will be curious as to how you find the lighter spring rates. Please let me know.

You may want to consider replacing the large bushings in the spring plates when you do the job. It was recommended to me that I replace them when I did my job. Apparently that is something best done by an experienced technician since you have to burn the old ones off and reassembly technique is critical from what I understand. I had Auto Edge do that for me and I did all the rest (I took the rear axle out of the car and brought it in).

 

yeah i will let you know. i didnt know you have to burn off the bushing mmmm i hope i dont have too. Those bushing are expensive and i am pretty much burned right now. lolol.
