The yellow car was not a POS. You were still learning to drive.....

If you guys do end up changing the bore size, I’d love to know what you change to, as I’ve got the same calipers and likely the same size masters, since the bore sizes were suggested by Ron. The car is a ways from running, so it would help to change them and hopefully be closer to being correct right out of the box. Thanks for the tip on the pads as well. Hope you’re doing well Greg.

I read allot of his (RS) posts when trying to figure out what to use on my rear suspension. He had me believing what he wrote.

OMG I am so glad I found Jay Weir. He explained to me, asked for measurements, sent information, called me, etc.

Although I haven't ordered my Speedtech stuff yet, I am so close I can taste it.



I may even be done before FE Rob

I’d call frozen leaf spring bushings - cracked ball joints - cracked rotors.... shocks that were completely shot (you could NOT extend one shock at all - you could with all your might - extend it an inch or so and then it would literally snap retract)..... So yeah, kind of a POS in the suspension department. Nothing to not be expected in a well used track car — but not conducive to great handling either.

You’re a Marine Joe. You should set the bar higher than that.

Two things. One, OY had some worn out suspension components, I know because I have/had them. And B, RS is a crooked POS.

Honestly if OY was updated with some Mike Maier Inc components with some JJ prepped JRI’s it would have been equally as good if not better. IMO
