Kudos for building these parts, I'm sure the track/HPDE junkies will be all over this.

With your front arms, how are you facilitating caster adjustment?
Also, for anyone reading this thread, is there a good list of "True" coil-over sets available that remove the need for the big spring cup in the rear? |

The main purpose of our control arms is camber adjustment.
Minor adjustments of caster could be made but not sure how much actual change would occur. For all intense purposes let's just say camber only Dwnshift PS: add AST/ Motons to that list |

I see, so what are you doing to correct caster errors? |

In talkin with Kevin today.... we have made 3 different blocks which change the caster.
My thinking is that differences in Z's castor readings could be brought on by the oem control arms themselves and the OEM rubber bushings pushed inside of them. With our control arms you could shim them forward or backwards a touch where they mount to the chassis and have some adjustment.... Not sure how much. But... again... The main purpose of our control arms is being able to have camber adjustment. So are you looking for more caster or just trying to even it side to side?

Since reliable adjustment is probably not possible with our front suspension without some gnarly stuff, I just want to be able to even it up. My Z (and I think most folks) has more caster on the drivers side than the left, and sometimes it does some strange things under heavy braking/steering input. It's got about half a degree more. Wouldn't be nearly as big of an issue on AST/Motons with race springs since the amount of suspension travel is so reduced as compared to my setup, so I could see how you wouldn't really care, but it would be nice. Thanks for the work you're putting in to development here.. any official pricing yet? Thanks again! |

Copy that.
In the short time we have had this car and in talking with Am guys from last year... there is a lot of stuff. Here is a little tid bit for ya to stew on.... We just went through the entire car and replaced all the OEM rubber bushings with our own delrin and Al. versions. When we took the car apart... we didn't touch the springs.... keeping the ride height where it was.. Once we installed our new bushings ... And reinstalled the ASTs with springs... The ride height had dropped 2.5"......they (oem bushings) create that much bind. The OEM rubber bushings are evil in all sorts of ways on this car. Our suspension now is like butter without load on it. I cannot wait for next week .... It's going to be a whole new car in Sooooooo many ways.
