JRZ full Race shocks
machined Rear subframe, raised up into chasis
RSR Uprights
ERP dogbones
ERP Shock Hats
ERP thrust arm bushings
Mono ball control arm ends

no rubber left!!

So much for the value, spend $$, worth less?

Driving it, hopefully priceless, will let you know.

 

let us know how much it changes the car... i have some new suspension bits coming as well

 

Jealousy meter rising!

 

I got a few bits being installed this month too. Im looking foward to it, although it is a new car to me and i wont beable to say i know what it is like compared to stock as i have never driven it otherwise...

list includes:

BILSTEIN B16 COIL OVER SUSPENSION
TRG TOE LINKS
GMG FRONT SWAY BAR
GMG REAR SWAY BAR

ERP monoball control arms
monoball front and rear drop links
Tarrett front steering rods/toe links and other misc monoball stuff...

 

Not worth less to me personally. One day I will upgrade my suspension too, I don't have any intention of selling the car anyway, and since it has so many track miles on it, I sincerely doubt that any suspension mods will deduct from the already lowered value. Besides everything seems to perfectly reversable except maybe for the "machined Rear subframe, raised up into chasis"

I'm jealous, please post your findings after taking it to the track

 

Will be driving the Rs @ NHIS on 5-20, will let yu know results.

TCS: I did almost exactlay the same mods to my turbo and the car is an absolute hammer. On this car we went with the JRZ race only because the full project entails being converted to a full track car, with full cage, wide fendered carbon body, etc, so figured might as well not compromise with the suspension.

I'll foward spring rates used, & more pics when I get all the info from the builder this weekend.

 

I cant wait to see your creation!
I wimped out on full custom cage and went with full bolt in clubsport cage.

I will be racing my RS, but i will also be using it for the odd DD and touring so full interior/comfort stays.

 

Jenk, Don't spend too much. We're never going to be able to keep up with Dez.

 

How is the widebody portion of the car coming along?

 

I understand all that you are doing and have ordered several of the parts this week, but what does this mean "machined Rear subframe, raised up into chasis
RSR Uprights"?

 

for right now we are all faster than dez

 

Well I'm curious what Dez is up to. I swapped emails with him last week and he is up to something. Is he building a dedicated track car?

 

He has a little box full of beans and is not spilling very many of them. I understand birth may be given sometime this summer.

 

what body panels are you replacing?
I assume you are going to use cup doors?

 

Just returned form the car builder's.
The rear subframe is machined where is bolts to the body, allowing the subframe to move up approx 25mm, thereby raising the suspension mounting in the chassis, lowering the roll center.
I will attach some picutres soon. the uprights also require new bearings and retainers as the motorsport part has a 6 bolt bearing retainer and a much more robust bearing. This is a relatively well known technique that a porsche race car builder would be familiar with.
Also saw some new hardware from ERP. The front suspension strut that is as about 30 deg horizontal to the wheel, connecting the subframe to the upright ( sorry do not know the name).
More billet - more $$ time to go back to work!
Not sure what body he will be using yet, that is still in the study phase i guess. Cup doors or the doors that may come with whatever kit Bill selects. The wheel -suspension combo that we want to use is about 1.2" wider at all corners. going to run the car for a few months in this configuration while we obtain the the rest of the hardware, good weather is almost here & North East is a short season. As many of you know, this can take alot of time.
