Kick panels?

Sweet, Jero. Everything I'm measuring is off of an 87 Hardtop. But I do have some parts around here from an 88 targa that I'm going to weigh. I think we can get a good list together. And I'm really interested into what kind of weight you lost in the doors. I'm trying to decide what...

The strut rod? Like one of the control arms? DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE SUSPENSION ARMS AND TRY AND DRIVE THE CAR. If you want more camber then you need different lower arms or an adjustable upper arm. But other than that, if you've already adjusted them all the way, then there's nothing you...

I don't really know anything about those HSD's. I haven't seen dyno plots, no one said what spring rates they come with or what adjustments they have. But the components do look like some of the other stuff out of China. But that does not necessarily mean they're bad, but without any proof...

This looks like a very bad idea. The stresses those arms and mounting will see will probably cause something to break before too long and in a very interesting way. I would not run that and would suggest that you do not drive on that.

So did you ever check and see what it was. A spring perch can break, whether due to fatigue, rust, poor materials or a manufacturing defect. If it did break and you just put them on, I would think it would be a defect that should be covered by any manufacturer's warranty. Or did something...

I would really just get it aligned again or deal with it. If they'll do it again for free, then do that. But just get them to make the caster even side to side. It doesn't seem like you gave them a target value for caster, so I don't know why they couldn't make them the same. If the adjuster...

Or paint them trash colored and put them on the curb.

Well then instead of asking them to give you all the information that you need to build this for cheaper, why don't you do the work yourself. Measure the fittings, figure out what length hose you need and put it all together. It's simple, people have been doing it forever.

Is that a Zombie Virgin Mary? If it is, that's amazing, if she were doing something cool, like biting the head off of the snake that's usually at her feet or something it would be a million times better. Or maybe holding a zombie baby Jesus. I don't know why it's ranked so low, people have no...

Yes, great minds. I'll try stupid proof. I'm just hoping testing will go well when I get them made and my worries will be put to rest.

IJ, please get out of my head. Some type of sleeve clamp is the plan. It will allow for adjustability without having to totally unbolt the rear sway and will allow for it to be positioned properly along the toe rod. And all the other ways are a little design/manufacturing intensive and...

IJ, one of my friends designed them years ago. If I remember right, he tried it as a normal turnbuckle setup with a fixed sway bar mount. So the sway bar had to be unbolted to adjust, but that was it. During testing, he had problems with the sway bar endlinks not being vertical or as vertical...

I worked there for a couple months. I was the one building the white S13, the cage and the wiring and suspension stuff. I'm pretty sure we met at Tires plus or R/T at some point. I remember talking Supras with you somewhere, but that was probably a year ago. We have an event on the 25th...

Well either way, bring it drifting. By the way, did you see the light blue one at R/T? It might just be sitting in the trailer still, but that's my new one. I'm just waiting for Vince to bring it here so I can get started on it.

It sounds like you just need to take it back. But first make sure the heights are the same on both sides. And then when you take it back get them to set the caster even. If the adjustments are maxed out, then they should be able to bring them down. And they should be able to make them even...

I think if done right and the cage is built properly and you were careful as to what you were cutting out. You probably wouldn't even need anything extra in terms of bracing. I mean the frame rails kind of run a little further inboard than where you would put the cage base plates, but that...

Nick, are you trying to beat me or IJ?

That's kind of what I thought you meant. But would it go under the car or inside the car? I really don't think it's going to support things the way you're thinking unless I'm still looking at it wrong. But cutting out the floors isn't really part of the plan just yet. I don't think it's...

I don't know enough about the blues to say either way. But I really like the Bilsteins. Are the blues much cheaper? If the price isn't that much, I would recommend the Bilsteins. And I did post some suggestions in there. I think the post got buried between some other ones though. Just...
