I'd be in for something, haven't met anyone around here but need to get the car out of the garage. I'm getting too old for this thing!!If anyone knows somebody willing to take on a 95 talon with 69,000 miles let me know. Everything is done right, ~400whp, dsmlink, tein suspension. I've...
Moved from Oregon last October and car has been in storage since. Looking to get it up and going this weekend, is there anyone still alive around here???
I showed up but didn't bring the car, good to see a few DSM's last night. When I left the 55 clicked off like a 9.2x or something, it must have went up in flames later. It was a pretty wicked car. There was some good old muscle last night, really nice Barracuda, super looking camaro, most of...
If someone finds E85 on the west side please notify me. I know there is one out in Cornelius but I'd really like to find a supplier in the Hillsboro area.
Please people, don't flame guys like JToby, he is one of the few intelligent people left on the suspension forum and Tuners really can't afford to loose anymore. Posting crap like that really makes people NOT want to help the beginners. So in other words, learn who your flaming before you get...
I don't think you would be wasting your money. Other popular setups are the JIC's usually set up from RRE. A lot of people also use the Ground control/Koni setup also. I've heard good things about all 3. There are minor differences in all 3, just do some researching...
JToby-Please let me know what company will do the 10/8 springs (and valving), I have the 10/6 and would be interested in your feedback from the higher rear spring rates. I am currently working on getting a little more oversteer withought drastic changes, but this may be the only way. I have...
I posted it somewhere else, for some stupid reason. If I'm reading your description correctly the distance from the chassis mount to the top of the shock body is 5.5" I hope this helps your decision, if this doesn't sound right let me know.
JToby-I checked my manual tonight and it showed the same as IGS posted earlier. I also just checked the website and it states different values for the front C and D values, so I would assume that the setup is slightly different. The one he pictured states that it is for both the front and the...
JTM-I'm sorry for not replying earlier, my appologies. If I'm reading your post correctly it looks like approx. 5.5 inches from the chassis mounting plate to the top of the shock absorber. Let me know if this isn't want your looking for...
jtoby- I don't check this board much anymore for some of the same reasons as yourself. I have mine on jackstands now for a new FMIC so I can get you something midweek.R
98GSXTURBO-Is that some personnel experience talking? That's the worse thing about these forums, everything people read they take for truth.
I would like to thank some of the suspension guru's for chiming in to try an help people understand that just because they have coilovers, doesn't mean...
CAIT-It sounds like you want no holds bard the best suspension possible. I don't think there is a single company manufacturing this, including TEIN or JIC. Why don't you get some Penske shocks with some Hypercoil springs. That way you pick your own spring rates and have some of the "best"...
cait-Thanks for the insightful post as I'm sure you've actually installled and autocrossed with them. Maybe next time recommend the JIC's with some factual information instead of just adding your worthless comment....
I set the TEIN's to there specification. I tried the Specialy Prodcuts (www.specrod.com) anchor bolts but as soon as the car is lowered off the jack, the upper control arms dig into the inner fender. I sent them back and got the ball joints-worked perfectly, as did the rears.Front-part...
I can't think of anything that new tires would do that would cause your problem. Check the lugnuts and make sure everything is torqued correctly. Check your brake fluid level. If both are good I would pull the wheels and check your pads, maybe they are wearing. Make sure your brake lines are...
I did real close to the same enclosure with my ED12. Total costs (for me) were about $55 for the fiberglass and the 3/4" MDF for the top. I pulled the Spare tire and cut out the mount for the tire. I then put down 3 layers of FATMAT (sound dampening) and molded the enclosure.R
I would buy the TEIN's again, I've had 2 different spring/shock setups in the past and was never real happy with them. The EDFC does work up front, I slightly remember a post a long time ago saying they don't work because of a fitment issue, but that isn't the case. I would use specialty...
I really think your making a terrible comparison but I'll answer any questions about the TEIN Flex's you may have. I can't bash the other setup because I don't know anything about it's ride quality or how low it is. Adjustability (on the TEINS) is cake and the EDFC is wonderful, in the right...
http://www.specprod.com/PROD_DIR/PROD_PASSCAR.htmlYour looking for part number 67370, won't let me post a direct link so you'll have to navigate. You can probably find them on Ebay some where. They work well, no rubbing after install.
I also don't understand how the Upper Control Arms hit the fender after just the TEIN install. I installed Specialty Products Anchor bolts (same design as the Ingalls) and they hit my fender because of the offset. I ditched those and got the balljoints for camber, much better now!!
I also have the TEIN Flex and have seen this before. PM me if you need to talk with someone by phone or email. Did you use the Anchor bolts from Ingalls or the Balljoint? If you remove the Camber kit do the Control Arms still hit the upper fenders? On both sides? I'm assuming you used...
I just installed mine and lowered it about 2 inches all around. There was a lot of rubbing in the front. I then adjusted to the exact specs that TEIN provided and I've had no problems since. Just make sure there is 13.4" from the center of your wheel to your fender at every wheel. You will...
Just got mine yesterday, except with the drilled aluminum style with black trim. Thought you all might want to see them.Nevermind, file size is too large...
Thanks for the input from everyone. 1150 is actually for the whole "60k tune up" not just the timing belt. Unless I can find someone (?anyone in the Portland area with a free day?) who has done it, I will do the rest of the maintenace and have the dealer do the T/B. I bought the car early...
Was wondering what "non mechanical" people were paying for there 60k mile maintenance? I was quoted $1150 from SATAN in the Portland area... I consider myself mechanically inclined but I've heard to many bad stories. I'd like to do it myself but would like a little reassurance (someone that...
