"lack of maintenance" on a sealed part? ~18k miles and 400 autocross runs with wide sticky tires. "abuse" would be a good way to put it.

Over the weekend I installed Pedders tophats on the Trueno edition. Incredibly easy on this car, no need for a spring compressor!

Removed the sway bars, one of the end links will need to be replaced (rusty bolt). I will have to drive slowly until the links arrive to install new ones.

There is very little preload on the springs. If you remove the nut on the top of the struts whlie the car is on the ground and jack up the front end slowly, the tophats separate easily. You will have to remove one endlink to swaybar connection, then you can simply line up the strut with the new tophat and slowly lower the vehicle and start the top nut...

Installed RCE sway bars. Front 20mm dia and rear 16mm dia.
Front on hardest and rear on middle. Added camber bolts. Now, need to take to a good alignment shop. Last edited by Stonehorsw; 04-26-2024 at 09:03 PM. Reason: Add info |

On a brighter note, I finally moved on from the V601 to a 615k+ this season and somehow managed to drop nearly 2 full seconds on a 1 mile course. Insanity! |
