Now that's some serious meat. You guys and your slicks.
You need to have the proper tool for whatever job you are doing plus I read an article explaining how running your street tires on the strip is way harder on your car than with slicks wish I could go bigger but would have to lift the car more and role the fenders and cut out more

I fully understand needing so many different setups, I have ten 15x9 wheels, 6 with road race slicks, 4 with Rival S tires, 4 more wheels and tires for all season(3 season for my use) and I have 4 more 15x9 wheels but going to sell them as switched to the newer style I liked better. 18 wheels and 14 tires and could use another set!

Looking forward to your posts when you start running the car in the spring, any winter rally's planned?

After that we headed north a few hours was able to race more than a couple super cars. Wheel pic is from collection to gingerman man I need new brakes and some that don't have so much dust lol

Is that something they have in a database that can be ordered ? What all bushings does it come with? Do they have multiple stiffnesses ?

All the bushings at least for our cars come in a street version or a race version so multiple stiffnesses this is both rmm inserts where you remove stock inserts and put these new ones in also front wishbone and rear beam to chassis

Great mods, great color scheme:)


What I liked about them when I installed mine was they take out the slop in stock rubber bushings but also the bind as come with sleeves to pivot on.

The castor bushings look to be more adjustable than they are, it has been quite some time and a huge number of mods since I installed them but it seems I only had two orientations to pick from and not sure which I used but likely to add castor which I normally do on all my cars. If you have any questions on install you could post or send me picks and it will help me remember and make a recommendation that should be best, we do not want to much castor but generally more than stock.

I am installing aluminum steering rack bushings next, if anywhere near the improvement like I got in the C5 and C6 Vette steering it will be a superb mod:)

Cool I'm really excited about this I didn't get the caster bushings because I didn't know what or if any adjustments were needed was hoping that they would make a non adjustable one but I still might pick up the adjustable one to try it out if you say that it's good to have a little extra caster
