Thanks, I wanted the Pedders but thought that I would have to drill more holes into my strut tower. I'm really happy with the new strut tower, it's my second one since the first didn't clear the Maggie.

Strike the last question, I just found you build thread, congrats on car of the week!

Ordered the new BMR rear lower control arms today, they should be released in a week or two.

Ordered the Racing Brake Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit from Apex Chase yesterday, will post pictures and a review after I install them and the line lock kit I purchased a while back.

Nice couple of goodies you have there

*Mindz* · 06-15-2011, 03:00 AM

You sure are going all out. Hope you take home the prize for the autox this year! You definitely deserve it for all the hard work you're putting in. Congrats on the new goodies!

Installed the coil-overs yesterday, now the hard part of adjusting the ride height back to where it was. Big thanks to John who came over to lend me a hand!

Not having much fun adjusting my ride height to where it was before. All I need now is brakes, rotate, wheels, ah you know how it goes. The build is never done.

Video of front and rear suspension after installing PFADT adjustable coil-overs. Video was taken during an auto-x event so these are extreme conditions. Notice how much the tire moves on the rib, it was inflated to 42PSI. There is also some movement in the rear subframe after the upgrade to full BMR bushings. Remember, these are extreme conditions and I would thing there's more stress on the suspension than while running on a track.

what size/brand tires are u running. That seems like alot of flex going on in the rubber.

Stock sizes front and rear. I have them at 40 to 42psi during races. Auto-x is very harsh on tires. It would be ugly if the tire popped of the rim at those speeds a g's, I check the pressure before and after each run. I can't wait to get some slicks.

My car goes up on jack stands again tomorrow for some more mods. The mods planned for this session are listed below.

Install new stainless steel brake lines
Install line lock kit
Possibly install a front tow hook of time permits

WIll schedule a track day after the install of the line lock, hope to break the 12.5 mark in the quarter mile.

Silver2SSRS6spd · 07-12-2011, 11:55 PM

Swapped out the brake line on the passenger side this evening, will do the drivers side tomorrow night and then the clutch reservoir and line lock.

Silver2SSRS6spd · 07-17-2011, 10:22 PM

Stainless Steel Brake Lines, Line Lock and Separated Clutch Fluid Reservoir installed. I'm down to only one more mod (tow hook) left to do.
