Steeda Q-Series. It’s essentially a GT350 (non-R) track pack spoiler from the earlier cars but it’s “Stick-On/3m on” so there’s no drilling or anything.

My previous reply made me realize that I havent been sharing most of my work in places lately and I think It might be something I should start doing again. So, over the past year Ive traveled a decent amount and shot other things that havent been my car or my "stuff." Its also pretty apparent...

You are very correct. Not sure what happened but I know that I've been absent for quite some time. Had some stuff go wrong on the car and missed almost an entire year due to Covid of doing fun things. Keeping with the theme, here is my contribution of one of the few times I was able to do...

Realized I posted the same shot from a couple years ago in the December 2021 comp; won't happen again.😅😅 THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT ANYWAYS! Here's one I know I haven't posted! 1B0A9675 by Benjamin Martens, on Flickr

Christmas-y!

I started to have some conversation in a different thread. I've attributed it to a couple different reasons. 1: my dampening is/was too high. I need to soften them up even if this wasn't going to happen. 2: Steedas mounts are way too rigid and I'm surprised there aren't many many more failures...

100% correct. The actual photos were of the first prototype that I created. The CAD that is shown is actually Rev 3. Before diving right into the “production-ready” version I wanted to check the other stuff right off. Rev 3 stuff will get tested tomorrow/Saturday. Also not shown; I’m using a...

While I agree that would be much simpler, I’m thinking from a standpoint where “someone” who had this issue could just bolt up the plate in the location and weld. Originally I had thought the same. Just cut it all away and weld a section where the humps were. Two things, where you have your...

It's definitely been a while since an update has been posted here. The car is still around and still causing me headaches. I had an issue where my rigid shock mount caused my bolts to sheer out of the body. I can confirm no metal on metal contact ever happened; I am thinking most likely...

Been working on a design that is pretty similar to RideTech's upper rear mount for their true coilover conversion. Instead of only bolting the play into position my goal is to weld this new plate (shown in the image with red scribbles) in position. The biggest issue for me specifically is being...

Got some info regarding ride height shock spacing. Between the shock body and under side of the upper mount I have 4” (+/- 1/8”) of shaft showing.

I will do what I can to get a verification on the measurement. I am also not positive as to what each "click" does or what the range of difference is that the BC shocks have.

I cannot give you an accurate spring rate answer due to it being variable. Spring rate will change due to it being constantly changed. The effective area, volume, and pressure are continuously changing when driving since there are bumps, cracks, etc in the road. After talking to the...

Found this thread by looking to see what individuals did to correct this issue. This is my vehicle. To verify the setup that will hopefully answer some questions you all may have. Airlift Performance rear bags Custom BC rear shock (30 way adjustable dampening + height) Steeda upper mount The...

A long time friend of mine traded in his 2015 C7 Z06 for a 2019 GT3RS. This has been a dream car of mine for years. And not only because it photographs so well.. IMG_6501 by Benjamin Martens, on Flickr IMG_6511 by Benjamin Martens, on Flickr IMG_6519 by Benjamin Martens, on Flickr IMG_6547...

@breeves002 's S550 on track this past weekend at Raceway Park of the Midlands. IMG_3553 by Benjamin Martens, on Flickr

This past weekend I fortunate enough to take our Expedition from Wisconsin to Missouri to see some friends (a fellow M6G member here). We loaded up two of his cars (718 GTS and Whipple S550) and made our way over to Raceway Park of the Midlands for a private track event. We were joined by a...
