Suspension & Alignment done. Track Ready!!!
So I got her back last week and had time to clean her up a bit. Excuse the droid camera phone shots . . . LOL.
We did the GMG World Challenge springs & sway bars, Tarret sway bar adjustable end links and camber plates, GT3 lower control arms w/ 5mm solid shim, Rennline stud conversion, and new rotors with Hawk DTC-60 track pads. We also knocked out the Fabspeed V3 exhaust too boot!
Here is a before shot of the 4X4 truck stance with factory alignment:
After:
Before:
After:
The alignment is set at -2.5 degrees camber in the front and -2.0 camber inn the rear. The toe is set to 0 in the front and .14 toe in each side in the rear.
Shot of the side angle:
Just a nice reflective shot (added 6mm spacers at all 4 corners):
Pirelli Trofeo tires will be used for track duty:

How is the ride on the street with and without sport mode? I am looking into the WC springs but I have not riden in any car with that setup before I pull the trigger. Feedback greatly appreciated.

have fun doc! Looks great. I also did all the crazy suspension work - ended up selling it and bought a dedicated track car LOL.

I use to do the dedicated track car thing for a long time. Last time at Roebling Road I was pulling 1:19s so I was only off about 3/4 sec a lap then Randy in his GT3RS so I'm a happy camper right now. I plan on doing the new RSS poly engine mounts to reduce a little sprung weight movement but that will be it. The car is just amazing on the track!
