First off, congrats on the pass. It must really feel great to finally be there.

On another note, that is some crazy camber and toe that you achieve. Don't know what your plans are for the suspension, but Jay's active toe eliminator may be worth while. The part is easy to Install and will keep the toe in alignment on the launch. The squat will be handled by your suspension. Hope this helps and lets see some low 1.5 1.4 60's and a 10.7 or better. :thumb:

Again congrats and keep us posted with updates.

Thank you very much! I will defiantly be purchasing a set of those here soon! It looks like a great product! How much difference did you see comparing those to stock?

Link for the specific piece your using? Did you have to relocate the alt?
PUNISHMENT RACING STAINLESS STEEL 38MM RECIRCULATED O2 HOUSING FOR ECLIPSE/TALON - Punishment Racing
Its just like this one but mine is probably 6 years old. And you do not need to relocate anything.

If you look in the suspension tech articles, you will see that the rear end got a total makeover all at the same time. All of the rear end makeover videos can be found here.

The stock active toe bushings consist of a piece of notched rubber about 8 inches long. It is held in the trailing arm by a bolt and allows for positive toe to take over under load. These new solid steel pieces will keep the toe where you set it all the time (of course camber alters Toe).

With that being said, my rear end is much more solid than it was. While driving the car, it definitely feels more "planted" or stuck to the ground. It feels like it is ridding on rails so to speak. Keep in mind that replacing 23 year old parts makes things feel 10x better even with stock struts and springs. I have not put many miles on the car since the upgrades due to a drive shaft that was beating on the floor board under load. The drive shaft is being rebuilt now (Video coming) so I should have some results next Friday. Hope that this helps and again Congrats.

I got the EXACT same setup minus, with a slightly different manifold. So you kinda give me hope on my setup.... plus I'm hoping to run meth soon. :D
