i have no body roll on 8/6 and i dont have to run ksports either.

Zenki FC3S Dec 22, 2009 04:23 AM

ive seen some fc's on ksports with madd body roll. just sayin my shit doesnt lean without swaybars because of a higher spring rate and different valving/monotube.

Thank you justin for catback and sway bar from your torque freaks days.. lol

and a bunch more stuff still in the boxes i.e. tie rods bla bla bla

but a friend and i just finished this..

Zenki FC3S Dec 22, 2009 05:56 PM

Hmmm Caster. I hear the fc feels great with the right amount of caster. If I ever get around to it ill have the caster on my fc dialed in

Daniel_Leed Dec 22, 2009 07:25 PM

yes, adjustability!!! haha

Zenki FC3S Dec 23, 2009 12:13 AM

what rims are going on that fc???? i see the front of the wheel well is cut... Also are those SSR's i see in the back ground????

danegerous Dec 23, 2009 01:35 AM

Probably cut the wheel wells out so the wheels won't rub with the angle kit/ spindles.. My 9.5-8 rubs on the fender well with modified spindles.

Zenki FC3S Dec 23, 2009 02:16 AM

yea i know why he cut them, i meant to ask what size and offset the rims were.

i have 9.5 -27 and dont rub with modified knuckles:dunno:

the wheel doesnt hit the front or rear of the fender?

Daniel_Leed Dec 23, 2009 10:50 AM

i actually have pick out the wheels yet, but yes that is why i cut them out. plenty of cars do it in racing for more space.
i gotta alot of work left on this chassis and now i'm super stoked with this thread and jtp in on all this.

There's plenty of angle. That's full lock with spindle mods

Oun Dec 23, 2009 08:45 PM

My wheel touches the LCA and frame at full lock. 52* degrees angle, pretty standard for the spindle mod I think

Do you mind filling us in a bit on the control arms? :icon_tup:

Love your car and am basically doing the same set-up with an LS2

Zenki FC3S Jan 1, 2010 07:54 PM

the cage is fresh too... and its got a little sliding window n the back lol. definately a very unique car

oilcover Jan 2, 2010 11:40 PM

so instead of playing call of duty I worked on my car yesterday.
took off the front sway bar, added a little preload in the rear and
dialed in my tire pressure all around.
