A little more assembly progress here. Note the custom friction reducing spherical bearing type tie rod ends and the adjustable sway bar installed. This design allows a very quick adjustment to go from Autocross to Road Race settings, a necessary tuning adjustment for events like Optima where you run both venues back to back. Roger chose Viking's new aggressively valved Crusader shock line which has double adjustability and AutoX based valving.



Note here the upper control arms have billet stainless cross shafts that incorporate adjustable caster slugs. We have specific instructions for caster settings according to how the car is designed, and include slugs for 3 different base caster settings. The alignment will be set using traditional shims, we prefer this method as it works just fine to achieve optimum results and the solid control arms have one less stress point over adjustable arms that could fail.



Although this is one of the first production subframes in the lineup, RedZed snuck out the "69" serial plate to go along with the car's age.
