more updates, the much anticipated Global West suspension upgrades arrived.... why did I wait when I could have paid less for others? well, glad you asked

this changes how you adjust the front suspension - it also allows you to narrow the track by 1/2", a real benefit if you're already considering whether or not you will have to reflare the car to fit better front tires.
But I digress, these are the upper bushings, they're basically lubeable heims

also the way they go together makes it impossible for the upper control arm to move fore and aft (which they can in the stock setup)

they also allow you to adjust camber by simply flipping the bit that bolts to the frame (the flats are ground off center)

they also eliminate the lower control arm cams (and replace the bushings with a lubeable delrin bushing)


to remind, last time out, I pushed hard enough on the 340 tread wear tires to change the camber... and now I'm going 200 tread wear and 1" per side wider contact patch

first step,
picture for posterity


push out the upper bushings

then realize I don't have green threadlock

so take pictures of 7 month old, 87 lb bloodhound puppy and her sidekick, Luigi
