I already had a host of UMI parts on the car so I figured whats a few more.
You're using the LCA relocation brackets? I've been told an inch is not enough to justify worrying about the angle, but let me know how that goes. I'm not done with the 84, but if it does make a difference, I'll get some bolt in ones and then have them welded when I get the SFCs welded in. Panhard is a must, the Brackets not so much with the inch drop. At least from what I am told.
Where have you found the 25mm sways? I've been watching for them in case I decided to try one. No luck so far. Most people revert to 19, 20, 21 mm sways out back. They say anything more with the 36 front creates a snap oversteer on bumpy corners. I'm not worried about the oversteer, I like it actually. I've got a 23mm on the 84, the GTA has the stock 24. Haven't seen the snapping rear end come back to bite me. I'll stick with the 23 out back on the 84, it seems to be an unknown and may work to perfection.
If you think its cold down there you should come up here, I don't think we broke double digits today.  |
As the springs are linear, they should do well - not a fan of progressive rate ones after the Jamex ones I had on my IROC.
LCA brackets are not on yet - but deciding whether to do them now or later. I bought them because if I don't use them on the gTA, they will be on something else.
It was a typo - they are actually 24mm rear bars. The only 25mm ones are aftermarket - and I am hoping to have all the rear bars in case - 18mm, 21mm, 23mm, and 24mm for tuning.
I was running a 21mm on my Camaro until I swapped a 12 bolt in - with the extra weight, the car had a good amount of oversteer, so I backed it down to an 18mm, which is about perfect with the springs and heavier rear I am using.
You guys up in the sticks get all the favorable weather!
