At the track I will be able to corner balance the car again and make adjustments via Eladio @ H1performace who is cool enough to help out the car set up on event day since our practice was cancelled due to turbo issues.
The point of the drift works spindles is to correct the geometry at a lower stance. Keep in mine these cars stock height are ridiculous. So with the spindle drop it will only drop the car to about the top of the rubber hitting the fender. If I wanted to tuck the rims while the car is static(parked) it would defeat the propose of the spindles because upon compression the geometry would be way off.
I built this car to perform not to be a slammed car. As is sits the front tires ARE hitting the fenders. The rear has a two finger gap. If that's considered 4x4 status then so be it...
also, if you raise the car now, wouldn't it defeat the entire purpose behind corner balancing the thing already?
just something to keep in mind before you adjust stuff.
Robert you are a friend of mine and haven't we had conversations about suspension adjustment. I like how you talk to me a like its my first time building a car. While it might be the first time people here have seen me build a car, you of all people should know I've been in this game since 2003.
I will admit that I don't know everything but that's so basic it insults me(reference first line of post). I was/am going to raise the front with the ability to scale it afterward during practice since the suspension needs to settle due to it being brand new.
Anyway good or bad I appreciate comments on my build thread. I just feel these condescending, smug replies have hurt this community overall. In my eyes I have put a lot of time a effort into this car, to really have no one comment on the car and when someone has its been more on the negative side then good.
Its frustrating to have such a negative vibe surrounding this boards and its always the usual suspects writing the same thing over and over. Even when I write something on someone else build that's close to being negative I always try to spin a positive vibe to it like "keep it up" or "even though I don't like this, I like that" etc etc. It took a lot of work and stressful moments(especially recently) to get this car to where it is in this sort of a time frame. I for one enjoy the look of it and I'm the person I built it for. I'm happy with it and that's what matters.
