Handling, chassis & brakes - where to now?
Hey all,
Im at the point where I really don't know where I should go as far as handling and chassis mods to the car are concerned as the car is being tracked more frequently (has seen numerous skidpans and tuning arvos now) and will eventually see Barbagallo + Collie (studying @ Uni has done nothing to affect the addiction). Also note that I will at some point be going back to the stock 17" wheels (painted gloss black)...this will upset Kym no doubt but I want to improve my own driving ability along with the car. Below is what is currently on the car as well as a little list of what may be happening closer to the end of the year (make corrections as necessary if something should or shouldn't be on that to do list, i.e. trailing arms/lateral links/ chassis-braces). Currently on car: Cusco zero2e coilovers Cusco strut braces (front & rear) Whiteline camber bolts Whiteline anti-lift kit Whiteline roll centre kit Whiteline subframe lock kit Whiteline steering rack and pinion mount kit Whiteline 22mm adjustable sway bars (front & rear) Whiteline extra heavy duty sway bar links (front & rear) Kuhmo Ecsta XS KU36 tyres (235/40/18) DBA 4000 slotted series rotors (front) Ferodo DS2500 pads (front) Cusco brake cylinder stopper Brembo Sport Evo 500++ brake fluid APP braided lines (front & rear) Rear seat removed (can't help it...and I love the extra noise) Spare tyre removed Velo Clubman 4pt-harness (worth every penny) Current alignment settings (setup for street commuting) Front: -2.0deg camber, 0 deg toe Rear: -1.5deg camber, 1.0 deg toe in What I have planned (long term) Lots more seat time!! Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 tyres (215/45/R17) Whiteline diff - front lock support kit Whiteline heavy duty rear sway bar mount Whiteline castor correction bushes (additional castor to ALK) S-Technic pitchstop mount Group N transmission mounts Group N engine mounts DBA 5000 rotors (front) DBA 4000 rotors (rear) Ferodo DS3000 pads (front) QFM A1RM pads (rear) Endless RF650 fluid APR carbon fibre front splitter (overkill?) <--- will replace Ultrex CF lip Quick notes: 1. engine/power mods out of the question? 2. why not get an STI? Answers 1. not interested in going quicker in a straight line... 2. my folks and I sacrificed a lot to afford the car 4 years ago, this car isn't going anywhere anytime soon (sentimental). Thanks, -Shane. Last edited by monkeee; 18-08-2011 at 10:55 PM. |
