Trailing arms and toe-control links.

Noticed:

1. Decreased clunking. I've still got a few minor ones though.

2. Increased hardnes of impact over seams (I don't really care about this).

3. Wheel hop GREATLY reduced.

4. Throttle application *very* direct and immediate.

5. More predictable and linear toe and rear-end tracking. The car isn't trying to outthink you.

6. Just plain more solid rear-end feel.

 

I will probly need some of them soon. how hard were they to install?

 

Curious as to the previous car behavior and difference after installing the arms/links with regards to this. Can you elaborate?

 

Deacon,

Install was easy - a couple small annoying things, but that's about it. I measured the distances for the mounting holes of the previous arms and tried to match, but by no means should you stay like this after installation. Alignment is *required*.

Kento,

Really the only way I can put it is that the car is less vague now. It was never extremely vague nor did the rear-end feel like the dynamic toe in an FC, for instance, but now the turn in characteristics have more of a direct relationship with throttle application and cornering load - whereas before the car had a non-linear feel in how the suspension reacted under throttle load. I haven't really been able to continue testing as today it's pouring rain.

 

Have you replaced your pillowball bushings?

 

Which ones are those?

 

how much? and how was the install? and tools required?

p.s. looks good nice work

 

Hrm, I might consider this down the line. Man, do I hate wheel hop.

 

I just put the Rotary Extreme toe links and trailing arms on my car. I also installed H&Rs, Bilsteins, Racing Beat sway bars, and new pillow ball bushings.... only problem is that I'm only now sending my engine out to get rebuilt so it'll be about 3 weeks before I get a chance to drive it, but I'm going straight to the alignment shop when its done.
