so with the rear shock top, the car height will be 2 inches lower with any coils? Or is that only when I adjust the coil ride height, in that I get extra shock travel when the shock is dampening? Just seeing what the difference is if I get LCA's instead which gives like a inch drop without touching the coil overs height adjustment. Sorry for the noob question, never purchased a shock top before.

I think the benefit here is that you don't have to sag the piston into the stroke as far if you want to run a lowered ride height. I suspect that this will give you more potential damping capability.

Yes, the OEM spring perches just came off the machine. I'm fitting and testing them next week.

Ran my first autox event with these new parts, RCE T2s, and BFG R1-S. Car never pushed!

All the free beer you can handle when you do. Btw, it's about 75 degrees in Orange County right now

Thanks for all the hard work and great products.

The 90mm spring perch is done and works great... Except for the fact that the spring perch is much larger in diameter then our other spring perches. I need the change the t nut design to be flush with the bottom of the caster/camber plate to allow for the larger spring perch. The changes are made and will be introduced into our next production run of plates which is happening next week. Thanks for your patience!

Will there be a provision to change from stock style to aftermarket later? Or will we have to purchase a different set?

Absolutely! You can purchase a new spring perch or the other parts necessary to make the CasCam work with any coil over. I'm in the process of creating those product pages on the site now.

Cascam for Ohlins RT:







Jarrett at @Raceseng decided to make these upper mounts without the spring perch. The Ohlins RT upper perch will be reused.

Install pics to come once this rainstorm in LA passes.
