little clip from Will Roegge from this past weekend! |
I'm currently running the full Part Shop Max suspension package.. all rear links, bushings and bearings and the front lca's and drop knuckles.. everything working flawlessly and felt very good... the front end feels much like my front knuckles with possibly a bit more angle due to the lca's the front angle is adjustable with the stoppers which is nice too so depending on what wheel/tire/offset combo you can tune to your liking. the rear felt really solid and made plenty of traction with my alignment settings comparing it to the AWR setup that was previously on the car I would say it seems a bit better in the forward traction i think due to the subframe and diff risers bushings. overall I think PBM has the best suspension solution for FC on the market hands down. The front lca's and drop knuckles are still several months out from being in production and there are a few new pieces for the rear that I'm testing out that aren't available yet, but they'll be available soon..

ty, Exactly what I was looking for before I ordered my whole rear end from them. I am very curious to hear about these secret parts you are testing for them hahah. Time to get my wallet drunk so it puts out for the parts now. |
hahaha that's one way to do it!
the "secret parts" are the trailing arm front bearings, dtts eliminators and rear spindle upper bearing delete. everything they needed on my end worked out perfect with fitment etc.. so I believe they're going to production now on those last parts i just mentioned.. and they will complete the entire rear end solution. |
Dude it was fun hanging out with you and the family.... Next time I'll bring my helmet.... And your buddy was killing it too, I'm glad to see his first time drifting was an awsome experience at asb
|
yo it was cool that you guys hung out... was thinking you were gonna come back out sunday...
|
I don't suppose they mentioned anything to you about selling a " suspension package" deal did they? A one stop shop for a complete rear end is very appealing. I just hate to order the parts individually only to find out a month later they are discounted in a package deal.
|
Naw we had other things to do ..but we plan on driving both days next year...I keep forgetting his name but he is a real cool guy ...did he fix his car for Sunday??

really depends on if you're trying to street it or just for track.. to be honest I wish this thing had come with a stock tank that I could have sumped and surge tank'd...

looks can be deceiving. and yes too much ackerman would be a bad thing but also not enough can make self steer non existent.
|

^^^^ Looks so awesome!
Did you have to massage that aero to make it fit so well, or does someone make a BN kit that fits correctly right out of the box? |
i've fit enough of these kits that i know where to sand.. but this stuff actually fits pretty well out of the box..

Ah the memories. I remember seeing your old green fc on the dyno at UTI a looooooong time ago. I hope you know that that fc is one of the reasons why I still mess with rotaries and why I'm still broke to this day. Paint looks awesome and thanks for ruining my life lolololol

Too sick! I like the pearl and side tone. Great color in sunlight.
|
a true "project" is never complete, but I cant seem to think of anything you need to do to "the rebound". So what's next? any sneak peeks at maybe something new you are going to work on.
Also I'm curious just how much drifting this car is going to be doing seeing how you have the mustang for all the competition stuff. |
