awesome thread! I hated mine I got from a supporting vendor... I will build a set though just to have for the track. But with suspension travel and what not I do not recomend daily driving on these cause you will bend your rod eyes!

Great how to... Def doing this. My only concern is it catching on something because my care is lowered about 3 inches.This is a good mod for any car... Its all about getting the geometry right though. If your suspension is dropped or different from phatnackySS's the length could be different. A one inch drop wont make that much different but a 2.2 is like 3 inches higher than a car with after market springs...

I would say it would definately curb your high rpm wheel hop and if you use no-lift-shift between 1sth and 2nd it should help well there too.

they were 1" spacers cut in half from ACE.
well befor i was running Kumho ECSTA SPT's that was UHP summer treadwear of 320 and they were great now im running hankook Ventus V4 ES H105 wich is a UHP all sesaon tire 430 tredwear. i got the i went with the h105s becasue i wasnt going to the track much and i needed somthing that would last (50 miles a day to/from work).
so its not that hankook is bad , its just the spts were so much better lol. Im thinking i might try heating them up alittle next time i go to the track.

no problems yet. i think alot of peoples issues may have been due to lack of proper lubrication. the bearings are metal to metal so you have to use a metal to metal lubricant like white lithium grease,and you have to keep them greased. But only the test of time will tell.
