Cool Thinking of Suspension Upgrades? New Lower Pricing for RSS/SharkWerks Components

Hey folks, so if you were thinking of upgrading some of the rear arms, links and/or bushings we're happy to announce that our entire line-up is getting a price reduction going forward. After a good run of 2.5 years of both testing and installing on our own and customer cars the RSS (formerly ESR for those of you that far back!) Rear Adjustable Links , the Adjustable Toe Steer Kit, Adjustable Lower Control Arm Monoball Kit and Thrust Arm Bushings have all had their prices slashed by 20-30%.

We have all of these parts in stock so feel free to either email me @ dan@sharkwerks.com or call on 510-651-0300 to order!

A bit about these parts, the most common for these cars is the Toe Steer Kit and Adjustable Links:



Designed for Porsches with aftermarket suspension, the rear link kit allows the negative camber in the rear to be correctly adjusted to factory specifications, improving handling and road feedback.

On lowered cars, the OEM links do not allow for sufficient adjustment, which forces an improper alignment and leads to excessive tire wear.

The Adjustable Rear Link (AKA, "Dog Bone") Kit was designed to eliminate this problem.


Static nodal stress plot



And the Toe-Steer:


On lowered Porsches with a factory toe steer link, the limited adjustment results in incorrect toe geometry. This part replaces the OEM part with a fully adjustable unit, allowing the toe to be adjusted to factory specifications.

The inner, neoprene bushing is also replaced with a steel monoball, which reduces dynamic changes in rear toe and further tightens up the car's handling.

A steel monoball replaces neoprene, reducing unwanted movement and improving road feel.

hey fellas are a few months we're now back in stock with the lower control arms
http://www.sharkwerks.com/products.php?pid=322

These are easier to install than pressing out your thrust arm and inner monoballs and that way you can keep your stock arms etc...

I did this mod recently and I have to say it is really worth it, the rear end is so planted (along with other RRS components), although it does increase road noise in the cabin on certain surfaces...
