Elephant Racing suspension mods
Anyone here who can share their experience with any of the Elephant Racing suspension mods? I’m interested in their offset camber plates, GT3 sway bars, and coilover conversion kit.

Elephant offers a fantastic suspension bushing kit that replaces all the factory mush with monoball and firmer elastomer bushings. This is the one thing you can do to move your car much closer to GT precision handling responsiveness. Unfortunately, it does not have the downside of messing up the factory handling balance. Plus, face it, bushings just are not cool. Camber plates? Cool. Coil-overs? Way cool! (This despite the fact the car already has coil-overs. Go figure.) You will find a lot more support for going your route, placing even more stress on a suspension before properly optimizing it to handle it.

Not sure if @T.O. in this forum but he just had his done, Elephant Racing and TPC parts. From what Ive heard handling is more precise and also more road noise. He has a very detailed build if you want to read up.

I turned from Elephant coilover conversion kit to Bilstein damptronic.
1) Fitment to OEM coilovers is poor, lower perch doesn't fit properly. - https://rennlist.com/forums/991/8443...ion-kit-2.html
2) You should to cut lower spring perch. So, you cant return to stock coils.
3) After couple of month I just tired because couldn't find reason of metal clink noise. So, I decided to remove it.
Meanwhile I'm still using Elephant adjustable caster arms (had to saw little to avoid touch with lower control arms) and Adjustable rear Wishbone.

GT3 sway bars, I'm interested in those too, but I couldn't get any questions answered from Chuck @ ER. There's a concern for the rear fitment, as the GT3 bars have different mounting points. Which is why Tarett actually made their own rear bar. You'll have to do some research but for now I'm staying stock (I have SPASM).
Also the monoballs don't make any more noise, rear definitely stays more planted. Costly but worth it IMHO.
