I know several people already expressed their good experience with RSS on this forum, so I just want to say that my personal experience with them is very very good. I am not just talking about a 10% discount I received without asking but Mike attention not to let people order the wrong stuff for their car.

 

+1 RSS are great people to deal with.

 

RSS are great...I have there rear roll bar and thrust washers on my LCA's. I visited them back in January during a business trip to LA. They were very welcoming and nice and I found out that they make there own suspension parts among other things! They are a true manufacture

 

+1 for RSS, I'm very impressed.

I spent a few days wrenching on the Cayman with their LCA at all corners, and their toe links.

I still prefer the Porsche MotorSports and ERP Racing toe links over the RSS ones, due to the fine adjustment available in the former two, toe adjustment is a little painful with the RSS toe links, because tightening the rod once the alignment has been set changes the toe setting too much.

Their Control Arms are a piece of art. The documentation is excellent. The quality of the control arms, and the monoball bearings look fantastic, but I will need to drive them for 20k miles at least to compare them to the Porsche Motorsports units I ran before. The RSS LCA allow for a +/- 5mm adjustment on pick-up point at the wheel carrier, so in the cases where many shims are used, bump steer can be reduced with proper adjustment.

The happiest thing on these LCA, I got almost 10.5 degrees of caster in a Cayman, sick caster. Now I need to do autocross and Sebring testing to check on the improvements, but on paper it looks good.

 

Rad you do you own alignments at home?

 

Partially.

I set the camber at home with an electronic camber gauge (LongAcre) super precise stuff, and pretty much the camber stays the same for a long time (a year or so).

Then I take the car to a local Good Year tire shop where I rent the Hunter DSP 600 for cheap, and make toe adjustments, and camber adjustment if necessary but never have to adjust camber to what I set in my garage.

The computerized Hunter DSP 600 gives me measurements in degrees, and the wireless sensors give me real-time adjustment. For instance, I get to know how many flats change toe on the front tie rods, and rear tie rods.

A few weeks ago the shop changed ownership and I was left with no place to align the cars, but I made friends with the new management, plus having a Porsche or a Fiat on their lift brings them more business, so it's a win-win.

 

RSS is great peoples. I would buy from them anytime. Infact I need to get the tierods and thrustarm kit soon to finish off my monoball setup

 

NJ - GT this may come in handy if you need, not sure. https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale...3-cup-rsr.html

 

I have been hearing nothing short of amazing about RSS products and I am seriously considering getting them for my car. I am just wondering if the monoball joints will result in a lot of rattles and noise after some mileage have been put on the parts? The roads here in Hong Kong aren't exactly smooth and I don't want to hear all sorts of rattles when I drive the car around town..

 

If this helps; I have had RSS pieces installed on my 3.9 GT3 for over 28,000 miles and so far everything is as tight as the day Sharkwerks installed them. Car is driven on backroads in No. ca. Some the roughest roads in the state.

 

RSS uses FK bearings, which are good, the best bearings on the market are Aurora bearings.

 

^ who's LCA and links use aurora bearings?
tarett or PMNA?

 

Yes do tell

 

Tarett uses FK, and the lower FK grade. PMNA Cup camber arms, are not adjustable, only RSR arms are adjustable, I have to look which bearings they use, don't think they use Aurora.

 

Thanks for the reply! It's getting me thinking even more about the RSS components.

Any others can chime in with their own experiences with RSS products with some mileage on them?

M3EvoBR, iirc, Champion were developing suspension links and parts with aurora bearings correct?
