I have had them on for almost 3 years now. I might go get them checked out, but have not noticed any degradation on an autoX course.

https://www.powertank.com/products/s.../productID/438 Might be worth it to try different pressures to further fine tune your shocks for the autocross courses. I always stuck with the default pressures because I couldn’t really tell a difference on the street and didn’t track the car enough to test different pressures on the track. |

OP - Run your rear canisters into your trunk, they will work and you should have enough hose.
No need to cut bodywork - you have a plastic vent that you can pop out - cut a slot in it and feed the hose through that. Makes it so much nice to have the cans in a clean area. Also - your Vorshlag rear mounts...any noise? I'm looking to replace my DIF mounts as the sphericals make a ton of noise

Thanks, I couldn’t find a factory hole that liked so I ended up drilling 2” holes at the abs sensor hole and sealed the holes with 2” plastic sheet metal plugs and heavy “right stuff” rubber gasket maker. Everything I have for suspension is spherical. I expected to have some noise from the shericals but no noise as of yet. Everything is new though so time will tell. I’d like to find out if there is a way to maintain them so they last a long time. Where I do have a ton of noise is the diff. Those solid subframe bushings transmit all the gear noise right into the cabin...second guessing myself on that decision but it’s already done and feels solid anyway. |

List it on local classifieds as a swap+cash, I bet someone will want it within a few months. Pull into a driveway and swap subframes side by side. Or pay Neal to do it, shouldn't break the bank.

If it were stock or mostly stock parts, pulling the subframe down and swapping everything wouldn’t be such a difficult task. All the upgraded parts especially, that diff, makes it a much bigger job and not worth it (to me). I’m pretty sure I’ve made my peace with the gear noise thanks. |

or i guess if you have the same setup now what are the specs? looking into getting ZE40s for the track. Your car and another car have been the only two I've seen that managed to fit 285 in the front without needing to buy over fenders.
