    Anybody with a Torque Arm/ Panhard bar?

    That was odd. I haven't been on SN in probably a year and the first post I look at quoted one of my old ones. I guess I can rest easy knowing I made somewhat of a positive contribution to the forum. :)

    coil overs,whats the real difference

    Swapping the stockers for a higher rate doesn't do much to improve handling. All it does is corner flatter. But there's a whole lot more to handling than flat cornering. What it really comes down to, is what level of handling do you want. Swapping in some FMS springs isn't going to do much...

    Help needed installing MM clutch quadrant and adjuster

    How about a little clarification? Is the adjuster hanging up on the clutch cable and that's why it's hard to turn or is it binding up somewhere in the threads? I'm using the MM quadrant and UPR adjuster and didn't have a problem. I installed an MM adjuster on a buddies car and it went in like...

    Tranny probs........HELP!!!

    1) Does the "short throw shifter" in the sig have positive stops? If yes, readjust the stop bolts 1/4 turn out. 2) If no to the above, have you been hammering the 2-3 shift? If yes, you might have bent some internals, namely the shift fork.

    2 suspension setups

    Define, "everyday street tires." Might as well just scratch that one off the list Vin. That is unless your principality is in the habit of putting down glue at the intersections. It isn't a matter of power or suspension setup on the street. It comes down to traction and quite frankly, your...

    Front Struts...C/C Plates Install ???

    Hey Rob, Whoever says that Bilsteins aren't worth the extra money either hasn't used them or isn't selling them. Even though I'm parting the GTS out as I move into another project, I'll still be using Bilsteins (with coilovers) on my new toy. In my opinion, they are well worth the extra...

    bassani catback guys, quick question about baffles?

    Yeah, they should go right back in but it can be tight sometimes. To get mine out, I had to use needle nose vice grips and a side hammer. If you've been driving for awhile, you may have to do the same since the baffle material tends to break down.

    Best Sounding Catback

    If you want the best sounding (not the loudest), you need to look at Bassani. I've been running a full Bassani setup (not the side exit mentioned in my sig) on mine for awhile and I can't count the number of compliments I've gotten, even from guys with other brands (Flows for example).

    bassani catback guys, quick question about baffles?

    Assuming it's construction is similar to my Bassani stuff, those baffles should slide right out. The sound increase is significant (in my opinion). I used my baffles once and then they went into the garage as I thought the wide open sound was MUCH better.

    Anyone know about Coil Overs?

    For higher spring rates, you want less rebound and higher compression. This is for two reasons. One, the higher forces applied to the shock valving require it to give a little more. Using high spring rates with high rebound valving will prematurely destroy the seals. And two, since the springs...

    Will a Panhard Bar work with the 4-link

    People have run a single UCA when running LCA's and a PHB. It's called a poor man's 3-link (PM3L). It's definately not a great plan and does indeed put undue stress on the UCA, but more importantly, it places a huge amount of stress on the torque boxes. It also creates a LOT of rear steer...

    Anyone know about Coil Overs?

    Coilovers may not require the 4-bolt plates to put it all together, but they're certainly required. Keep your 3-bolt plates and run coilovers and you'll just be buying a 4-bolt setup a week later. They absolutely cannot take the loads safely.

    Just got my Side Pipes in!!!!

    Side exits can work with SFC's, just not all SFC's. They fit easily with a thru-the-floor setup. Quick plug: If someone wants a brand new Bassani SS side exit system, I'm selling one. PM for details.

    Which c/c plates?

    Any cc plate that uses a solid spherical bearing will be noisy. One that is less noisy means that it uses bearings that have looser tolerances. Noisy = solid = quality. If noise is a major concern, stick to a plate that uses a rubber isolator. If you want the performance, you are going to...

    Why I'm A Mechanical Dumba$$ (feel free to disagree)

    Don't worry about it RC. Stuff like like is what makes tinkers into mechanics. It's all about the education.
