We had a blast putting this car together at the booth like this, a challenge we'd never tackled before. We really wanted to show everyone just how easy it is to upgrade from a stock, clunky, poor handling and driving factory suspension to something that literally could be competitive and fun on a race course. As mentioned we teamed up with Scott Timmons from Instagram famous Camaro Family, Viking Shocks, Baer Brakes, Dutchman Axles and Forgeline Wheels, to see just how long it would take two guys working outside under a canopy, using only hand tools and a 110 volt home garage style welder, to install Speedtech's complete Road Assault front and Torque Arm rear suspension. The answer was right about 8 hours! How's that for a quick change?
Scott started out early in Cali and met us at the event Thursday evening. Never seeing the car in person before the event, Friday morning Speedtech's sales leader and track driver Jay started with a few good autocross "before" runs leaving the suspension just as the car came to us. An aggressive well seasoned race driver, Jay's best time was 39.5 seconds, and when compared to the other cars at the event was very respectable considering how the car was set up. Right after a quick cool down period Jeremy, Speedtech's Rod Shop lead tech and Ryan, Speedtech's lead welder started tearing out the old stock style suspension a little past 11 AM. Working with typical hand tools found in any home garage builder's tool chest the reassembly work continued throughout the day.
