Last year I hit the track again and sorta kept track with a blog type thing in a thread on another forum. figured I copy paste it here and then keep it up to date.

pulled an all nighter and got the suspension in. about 3 hours.
moved the C clip in the front that holds the lower spring cup to give an extra 1/4" drop (IMG:http://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/576x1024/80-susp_201_zpsrjplkwgk_cf22b8d29434fd7abae1a3872a64fdd70ab5b1e2.jpg) out back i pulled out the rubber spring isolator at the top and did the heater hose mod to get a extra 1/2" drop in the rear. (IMG:http://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/1024x576/80-susp_202_zps0utsbagi_3d6dfe77e8ad19db13b22ed7535f60af5bc305b4.jpg) sits a little higher than my old springs still as i expected. front is livable but the rear is still a little higher than id like. may end up cutting 1/2 to 1 coil off the rears. also did a full flush on the brake fluid using an air bleeder. fully flushed with cheap brake fluid first, then again with the Motul 600. the stock fluid was filthy, the cheap fluid was clear, and the Motul was amber, so it made it real easy to see when it was completely flushed at each corner. followed each corner with a couple manual pump bleeds to check for air. brakes feel good now. harder and higher than i ever remember the pedal. (IMG:http://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/576x1024/80-bleed_20brakes_zpskdkhac6u_8616d04e67548aeb40965af15aad50b2ab01416a.jpg) got an alignment as well. i went with -1.0 camber (factory specs are +.4!) and 5.0 degrees of caster. had some toe out in it at first to make turn in more responsive, but ended up going back to 0 so i didnt have to worry about scrub or crack walking on the highway. pretty cool $60K alignment machine only used cameras. no electronics in the wheel attachment. (IMG:http://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/ls1tech.com-vbulletin/1024x576/80-alignment_zpsmk7y8sts_163c878f4b6130386f4a16bf86b72ee996b0030f.jpg) This post has been edited by STANG KILLA SS: Mar 18 2016, 07:44 PM |
