Hey guys:
Well after having my rear window busted out, I figured it would be a good time to make lemonade from my lemons. It is now very easy to get to the rear struts.
I just got done putting a rear strut tower and rear cross bar system in my WRX. Of course this was commercially available for that car. I noticed some big improvements in body roll and a big reduction in understeer, and improved stiffness and steering response. The setup is similar in the SVX. I discussed this project with a local shop. They said they would be interested in this type of project. They are a very reputable race shop specializing in race car chassy work. Please let me know if you all would be interested in a group buy. Typically these towers cost around $250. I'm sure ours will cost more. I can have a more definite estimate when I have a feel for what you want, and how many we can produce. The things I need to know are.
What is the max you would pay. (don't worry I will keep this under my hat. I just want to have a price goal.)
What materials do you want (I would go with aluminum 40mm)
Do you want a tower and cross members. This will raise the price another $150 to $200.
What deposit would you be willing to put up?
How long between deposite and payment would you be willing to wait? I will try to get a schedule, but you know how that goes.
Let me know. I don't want this to end up dead like the rear sway bar.
