GOT2B GM Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nicely done, stance is hot. I need to do poly control arm bushings and some new lateral arms as well. We need an auto cross shoot out at a meet.....could be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Glad you got it all back together Matt considering you blew a brake line about midnight last night and the Snap On guy around the corner was sleeping Def keep us updated how the front end rides with the way the front plates are mounted.

AL Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 His 245 tires on the xlaces were rubbing so I had offered him my "first gens":rolleyes: because I hate those wheels and they didnt rub as bad so he took those home and I (actually BXX at this point) have them so I had something to drive home on... The good thing is we were able to repair his brake line leak... Mine was not that lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timg Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Looks great. Can you tell me more about the rear suspension/disc/hub swap? My rear wheel/hub bearings on my Monte die pretty rapidly and cost a small fortune. If there was a better gen 2 set of components, I would be all over it. Thanks.

CSI_MuNkY Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Looks great! Too bad I don't have any 3-wheeling pics of my GTP.... oh well, a Cutty Sedan doing it will be more epic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Question of the day: So with the 10" springs, the rear is as high as it will go, and I still rub on bumps. I have the option of 12" or 14" springs. The adjuster sleeve is 5", so to get It this low with the 14" springs would put me at 1" up on the adjuster. also, they're cheaper. Would there be any reason to get the 12"s? It's not like I can go lower, so might as well leave room to adjust up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Then I honestly don't see any reason NOT to go with the 14"s....especially if they're cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Ordering 14" springs right now. That'll give me the low I want, but still plenty of upward adjustment. As opposed to right now, I'm maxed out as high as it will go, and it's still too low by about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbex Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yeah, that way you can always go higher for some reason if you decide to, but you can still go as low as you are now (which is too low)... And for the price being cheaper, win-win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Let me know if/when you do, I'll definitely come out and help.

xtremerevolution Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Damn you and your massive wheel arches making your car look lower than mine, lol. Sorry, I must have missed it, but what weight spring did you go with for the rear? I used a 350lb 10" in the rear and it doesn't scrape at all with plenty more height adjustment in both directions. You make plans for those poly control arm bushings yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I used 10" 400lb in the front, and 14" 350lb in the rear. As far as the bushings, money and time are holding me back, so it won't get done before dayton. Ken's bringing me the 22mm sway bar, so that'll get done during Dayton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremerevolution Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I used 10" 400lb in the front, and 14" 350lb in the rear. As far as the bushings, money and time are holding me back, so it won't get done before dayton. Ken's bringing me the 22mm sway bar, so that'll get done during Dayton Nice. I'm using the same 400lb in front, and (I don't recall what Bob put in there), either a 10" 350lb or a 10" 400lb in the rear. In any case, I can raise my car off the ground and those springs don't budge. FWIW, the poly control arm mod made just as big a difference as the addco bar did. People really don't seem to realize how much dynamic camber our cars really have as a result of those gigantic rubber control arm bushings, and how much they're responsible for the understeer that plagues our cars. Someone else who did this mod put it very well. The car is very "neutral" now in corners. It doesn't understeer or oversteer, it just starts sliding sideways.

Psych0matt Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm gonna possibly attempt a home alignment (for the time being, since I still have the control arm bushings and rear sway bar to put in), and see if I can get it better.

Psych0matt Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ken (and his all knowingness) helped me get it fairly decently aligned. I was actually able to relax and enjoy the drive back from the Dayton meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
