What sort of ride height do you get? What is the resulting available shock travel? I looked pretty hard at these a few years ago and it sounded like you cannot get the low ride height that most here are looking for. Maybe things have improved.

According to QA1 you can go 1 1/2" lower then stock safely with the QA1. Only time I see problems is when people to go to low, which seems to be a lot of people, LOL!

Thanks everyone for all the information.... I really appreciate it!

what size wheels and tires? with larger combos the suspension wont go as far, but if you mount the T bar on the bottom side of the control arm there is a free 3/4" we have been able to get them to the correct ride height every time

I've got Blake's setup in the front of mine (Upper and Lower Arms, QA1's, swaybar, and the ATS spindles) and am able to get the ride hieght I wanted out of it. I've driven the thing pretty hard, including a 240 mile round trip this past weekend (part of it was through a 10 mile crazy canyon)--and the stuff works awesome. I've got plenty of travel left on the front that I don't need.

I'm running 19 inch wheels in front with DSE half inch high body mounts--that really helped get the cars stance where I wanted it. I have to run a 235 up front to run at this height with a stock subframe, but I was willing to deal with the trade off for the stance. I would highly recommend Speedtech's setup since I am running it, and can tell you it works extremely well---I also took Blakes advice and mounted the T-Bar on the bottom side of the LCA---Blake, Roger and the guys are fantastic to deal with as well.

Ya know Doug, that is one very cool car you have!:thumbsup:

Well there is no arguing that your ride height is not low. It looks great. Just curious how much suspension travel you have left. Any time I have lowered my car to that level it bottoms out regularly and there is only a little travel left in the shocks. Admittedly I do not have half height bushings, a mistake I did not realize until I welded in my DSE subframe connectors and at that point there was no turning back.

Don

Yep that is a Pretty low ride height, cnat wait to see it with the torque arm in it,:unibrow: :unibrow:

Me also---Does Speedtech want to sponsor a So Cal West Coast car for marketing reasons? :unibrow:

You guys have great stuff---What a difference it's made on mine--it's fun to drive and as you know did really well at the Auto X---now, if I could just get some bigger tires under the front-------

Doug

Don, I just measured the amount of travel left (from LCA to point of contact on the stock sub---and it about 3.7--if I shaved the bump stops, I could get another .5 out of it---I run my shocks pretty stiff in front---so I have not bottomed out. The 19's in front on mine really gives the illusion that it sits lower than it does, along with those .5 DSE body mounts---those helped dramatically---and the ATS spindles took about another 3/4 in off the ride height. Lastly, the chrome wheel molding gives the illusion of approx another 1/4 inch. I can't go any lower, but the tires clear in front. Let's face it, if you want to go low stance, without air, you sacrafice something--in this case, tire width. Todd Akes calls my 235's "Pizza Cutters"--LOL. I'll run wider when I put the Speedtech Sub up front. Let me know if I can help with other pics, etc--you can't go wrong with Blake's stuff.
