Re: List of Suspension upgrades

Well, lucky you no welding is required, and the hardest part was when I called the place and ordered them. It's literally much easier than any other project that you're doing right now. lol Not to bash, but people don't realize that all that is required is going online and doing a bit of research, and then just ordering parts and installing them! And it's not like you're the only one doing other stuff like that right now. I have to install 4 struts on a car, finish my 4.11 tranny swap, I run a detailing business after "normal" work hours, rewire and 5-sp swap my probe, the last month or so I've been working about 50 hours a week, and on top of that I have regular activities planned 3 nights a week besides detailing! Sorry, don't take that as venting; just trying to explain that some things actually ARE easy, and with minimal research the correct part can be purchased at a reasonable price and installed very easily. -On top of whatever else it is that you're doing! And if you were around here, I would definitely help you fab up a cold air intake. Which reminds me, I have another full CAI design (tb to filter) that I'd like to try out... Mwa ha haaa!!

Re: List of Suspension upgrades
nice nice ya, for some reason my SVX won't start so i'm very angy I've got an idea that I think will look clean and be quite functional, I'm not sure how many parts I wanna break it into since I don't need a maf now...but not to jack my own thread lol suspension suspension suspension lol that's my spring semester I'll do some research and give it a shot then if it's so easy.

Sorry man, I'm not trying to pick on you. What I was saying before came off pretty heavy as me being mad or something, which I'm not. I was just trying to get the point across that sometimes things really aren't that hard! And I'd be happy to do a group buy or something for front endlinks sometime, but just not at the moment.

Re: List of Suspension upgrades
Ok so I'm making up my list of suspension parts to fully upgrade my suspension and I'm curious... what do those camber bolts do for your suspension?

Re: List of Suspension upgrades
Camber bolts will allow you to get more negative camber than you can with the stock bolts. Not a whole lot more, but worth the investment. NB - in stock configuration, the SVX has no rear camber adjustment, so aftermarket bolts are necessary to get any negative camber.

It has to thread through the front subframe so, by necessity, it's at least a two piece design (mine is a three piece set up). Splining the end of a rod is not an inexpensive activity, not to mention that you have to do a complementary internal spline to the arm that attaches. I'm definitely "in" to work with Nevin on the bar design if he decides to pursue a front bar offering! -Bill

Re: List of Suspension upgrades
I definitely see much greater need for the rear, just was curious what all it entailed and if it was something we may see in the near future. I really appreciate what you guys have done figuring out all this stuff! I'm still learning!

Re: List of Suspension upgrades
So I just did a search for "poly diff bushings" and "differential bushings" and came up with nothing I need to replace mine, as it clunks pretty well when you back up Who is the guy on the board who has those????

A 15 minute mod will help the life of good bushings. Or upgraded bushings for that matter.

Re: List of Suspension upgrades
Looks like he's out :-( I did find a thread about some inserts, mine aren't completely rotted out so maybe the inserts would work...
