...my suspension setup. JRZ three way motorsports with quick disconnects, RSR lower control arms all the way around, RSR toe links and GMG dogbones.

...there has also been a lot of questions regarding the roof removal. Seen here during cage fabrication.

JRZ has remote reservoir. the quick disconnect allows you separate the cannister from the shocks so it's easier to fill/service.

AND

...it allows you to only drill a hole (or use a factory hole) the diameter of the disconnect (slightly larger then the hose) itself. Now you can place the canisters inside the car without having to drill a hole the diameter of the canister. Before quick disconnects you had to leave the canisters in the engine compartment or wheel well (where it gets very hot and is not easy to reach) or drill a very large hole to fit the canister through.

Thank you.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Stephan, I'm so sorry I've hijacked your thread.

The pics that follow are from three weeks ago. Something to point out is that this car was built *** backward. We had to do the full cage last so I drove it with a Das Sport bar until the cage fabricator could get to it.

John
Awesome car. Where did you get the GT3 front grill inserts?
Did you install them yourself, or did a shop do that?
Thanks
George
