Nice to see you get it. Most are still thrashing around...

Ha ha.....it's so obvious looking at tire wear and temps. I was so tempted to reinstall the oem muffler.

I think for most of us that are still NA can hold onto the rear end for dear life so rear aero additions will only slow the car down.

I'm sure turbo power will out some heat and weight transfer back there!

STREET no sheetmetal triming
Adds 2" rear travel

RACE requires rear sheetmetal trimming
Adds 3" rear travel

So if I were to install these, I would be okay to drop the car a max of 2 inches and have a better range of suspension travel?

Would these work with any set of coilovers?

robispec · 05-29-2013, 12:08 PM

yes and maybe..I would need shaft diameter and length of the threaded poortion
of the shaft

Scooby South · 05-29-2013, 12:47 PM

if you don't mind me asking.. What ride height are you at??? Rake?? and is it because of the lowered stance...you made the shock mounts??? if you don't want to make those numbers public, you can PM me.. curious also for your corner balance numbers..

Bill

robispec · 05-29-2013, 05:15 PM

base ride height is -3" front and rear these mounts we have fabricated allow 2" exrta travel front and rear. so the car only "thinks" it is lowered 1". With our front lower control arm solution we correct the roll center and widen the track increase anti dive and quicken the response time (all heim joints).

nosier but WAY more precise.

Nosier or noisier? I don't know what nosier would mean.

robispec · 05-29-2013, 10:37 PM

i think the second as im a funtional lisdexic...;-)
it noses into the corner better of course...lol

Enraged21 · 05-30-2013, 03:21 AM

Approximate how much would a basic robispec kit be?

Robispec KW v3 coilovers
Robispec Front Control arms
GC Camber plates
and those suspension travel things?

When I saw your posts, I expected you to have a thick European accent and speak in broken English.

Maybe I can trade reading tutoring for car parts?
