If you're not tracking the car a lot, you don't need adjustability.
Everyone gets all up in that sort of thing. Don't get bogged down in ephemera.

 

any how you can put just the late longer arms and tie rods on but your least camber setting is increased .
I also agree that the rear spring bearing is the only solid bush conversion worth doing .. all the other bushings have very little rubber and therefor very little deflection

 

Last 2 comments are valid for sure. My friend runs a pretty stock 1986 and is just behind the club capt in his GT3 so you don't have to go crazy to have a fast car. If you're not going to focus (read 'obsess') about the track then I wouldn't bother. Keep the old offset and deep dish wheels.

 

Changing the late hubs and spindles doesn't affect offset, changing the arms does. Running the late hubs and spindles will affect the negative camber adjustment range when used with early arms (like no negative camber adjustment range). To get around this you will need camber plates or modify the spindle to strut holes in the spindle to allow more negative camber adjustment range

 

Drew I had a Leda coilover system setup by Karl at Racer's Edge and it was cheap and a fantastic setup for street/track. I think it was only $1100 at the time and the key was Karl matched the valving and spring rates perfectly. It rode 100% better than the H&R coilover system on my old M3 on the street, and was fantastic on the track

 

Yeah you are correct, I forgot that I did that late offset swap in two parts (first changed hubs/spindles) but continued to use my spacers up front until I did late arms and tierods. Thanks for pointing that out, duh.

 

Thanks a lot, I think I'll give them a call to see if they can't help me out.

 

I'm debating selling my Bilstein Escort Cup setup with 400\500 springs. I haven't decided yet, but I should soon. Let me know if you might be interested.

 

Definitely interested. Is it front and rear or just rear

 

Front and rear.

 

How much would you want for the set if you decide to sell

 

Thx to all for the info. Not trying to add the ABS. I gotta think that would be an issue one wouldn't even want to start down the road on (no pun intended) Just changing over the front end to that of an 87 951 (or later) will make a lot of things easier. Particularly when it comes to wheel selection.

OMFG $1100 for Leda's .. was that in 1987 ?? how many spec levels is there in Leda ?
any how i think the point is that the later offset change is generally the very last on the list of suspension up grades.
