what suspension mods did you do over winter?
so i was PM'ing chris and he told me he did some very good mods and he also said kevan was also getting deep in the weight reduction mods:nod:
so lets see what y'all did to your suspension over the winter. I'll go first.
Some other mods not related to suspension:

The only new suspension parts for my car were to the front.
I now have a UMI Road Racing Tubular K-member, and QA1 coil overs with their 325lb front springs. I'm hoping to do a C5 brake conversion this summer. Also the tire wheel combination is different as well. 18x9.5 up front with 275/35/18 Michelin Pilot PS2's and 18x10.5 in the rear with 315/30/18 Michelin Pilot PS2's. Can't wait to start doing some auto-x this season. I think I have everything pretty well squared away. |
sweet. got any pics of that setup? isn't 325 lbs very low for road course and autocross?
i had the c5 conversion and loved it. very cost effective mod. what pads? I thought hawk HPS was great street/autocross pad and HP+ slightly better but a lot more dust. |
i have the full WS6store C5 kit. came with slotted rotors and HPS. might not put it on till mid-late season, because i cant use my 16' rims with them. i want to get some more time out of the $900 tires i used all of 10 times last year.

If & when I do the C5 conversion, I'll probably purchase Hawks HPS pads & power slot rotors. I have that combination currently in the front and I love it. |

|

Welp, I've been gathering parts for a spring rebuild of the AMX's front end, so here's what I'm looking at: all new "hard" parts [tie rods, ball joints, etc], soild tie rod adjusting sleeves, all poly bushings, boxed/strengthened upper and lower control arms, a custom front QA-1 coil over shock set up w/ 550 lb springs, and matched shocks for the back, Addco 1 1/8 bar for the front, and a custom built Wilwood brake set up w/ 13 inch rotors and 6 piston calipers. My rear suspension is still pretty fresh, so all I will prolly be doing is setting up my ride height w/ re arched springs or lowering blocks. Later on I want to look into composite rear springs.
