And so the slow collection of suspension parts begins:

Did yours come with the rear backup sensors too?

Nice i put them on my gt3ish this year. They r very easy to adjust when doing string alignments.

lost27

Best part was that they are on sale right now!

I bought these too after you posted they were on sale.

Where are you taking yours for an alignment out of curiousity? Planning to align mine myself, but would love to know who you trust in ATX.

I'll have TPWS: https://www.tpwsinc.com/ set up the the corner balancing and alignment once all my parts are in since they'll do the install but I'm still about 3 months out.

Other places I've heard good things about are:
HD Motorsports in Leander: https://www.hdmstx.com/alignments
Winding Road: https://store.windingroad.com/

Oooooo I'm up in Leander, I'll read up on HD Motorsports.

What else are you changing in the suspension?

Tarett GT3 front and rear swaybars
Tarett droplinks for Ohlins R&T coilovers
Ohlins R&T coilovers
Any other bushings control arms etc as needed

Should be about it for a pretty good street setup for the hill country drives we've been doing almost every weekend.

Love that. I've been watching from the sidelines in the Whatsapp group for the past two years lol.

@lost27 running very similar setup - its really night and day difference compared to stock setup. I have zero complaints of the components selection one year out from install.

Good luck

lost27

Thanks! Glad to hear you're enjoying the set up. I'll be coming from FVD spec PSS9s to this new set up so I can't wait. If you don't mind do you mind sharing your settings for the coilovers and swaybars?

sabba

sure I’m running 12 clicks front and rear on the ohlins

not too specific and off top of head on rest front sway bar is kinda limited but closer to softest setting based on fittment and rear I have in middle

Allignment wise in around -2.1/-2.6 Camber and toe around zero .


I can be more specific but I need to find some paperwork or visually inspect.

Well it has been since the last post since I'd really driven the car. I hit a deer the day before my shop appointment to get the suspension done. Well the car is back and the suspension is installed. What a game changer, I should have done this long ago. The car feels like a completely new car on the Ohlins compared to the PSS9s. They are currently set at 8 clicks from full hard on the front and 7 clicks from full hard on the rear. Even with those settings it is firm but not jarring, I only got one drive in before the rain but so far, the turn in is greatly improved, especially on lower speed tight turns. It is much much more confidence inspiring on the faster sweepers and corner way flatter. I feel like I'm more telling the car what to do vs asking for it to turn as with the PSS9s. I'll try and get more feedback but it is now raining all week so I doubt I'll get out again.

That stinks about the deer impact but at least it looks like the fenders weren't damaged.
