New suspension, corner balance, and alignment

[97gst_spyder]

How stable was the car when it was on the hubstands?

Very much so. In between adjustments, we would shake it side to side and up and down at each corner to settle the suspension. No issues whatsoever.

Do you guys have any more information about that latch looking deal on the bumper? Looks like a mighty handy setup.

Get a chance to measure the ride height yet?

Do we have info? Do you not know us by now?

Just a forewarning, almost everyone hated it when I posted that info up. We got the idea from Drew, as he uses the same latches on his car.

I haven't been home yet to measure the ride height.

those hubstands look awesome!! I always like how you and your brother do your own thing when it comes to working on dsm's. Also $300 is fairly on par with what we charge for Corner balancing and alignment

$180 for corner balancing.
$99 for 4 wheel alignment.
with selected driver weight.

Oh, they are very nice!! It was hard to swallow the cost of them at first, but I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the compliment We definitely don't like to "follow the crowd" and are always looking for ways to do something new and unique.

Dang it, I was home this past weekend and forgot to get those ride height measurements They will be taken in the next 2 weeks I'm sure.

Measured from fender to center of wheel.

RF - 13.75"
LF - 14.0"
RR - 13.5"
LR - 13.375"

That's essentially a full inch lower than what I need to run with my big 17x10 wheels and 275 width tires.

I find this interesting info. Subscribing so I can find this later.

Awesome job you two. I was reading the service manual for the torque specs and it had a note that said they needed to be torqued to spec with full weight on the ground. I was pondering how to do that with the wheels in the way and I actually thought of something like Hubstands. Pricey though. I wonder if I can weld something up.
