New Suspension setup.

[2015Etrac]

Bought GT350R front and rear springs and Koni Sports. Planning to install them ASAP. Just waiting on a 2nd rear left 350R spring. Also have a BMR cradle lockout for the install. The minimal drop of the 350R springs should work well. The only issue is whether the 350r rear springs will work. I have 2 left rears, so I'm hoping they fit OK.

The final frontier...GT350R springs on all four sides! :hail:

All of us brothers with the front only setup will pray for your success:cheers:, good luck with your install!

You're going to love it. The car will be totally transformed with all those parts installed.

Thanks guys. I'll let everyone know how they work out and if the rears fit. I might have it done this Friday, assuming the 2nd rear spring gets here. For some reason it was back-ordered, I guess they only had 1 in stock. I'll take some pics of the install, ride height, etc. if it works out. I guess I better start with the rear's just in case they don't work out.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!

I'm looking into ordering this setup as well. I wasn't positive the 350r springs would mate with the Konis, but this thread seems to confirm it.

My second option is Steeda Sport Linears. I think they may be a bit better balanced mid corner, but provide less traction accelerating out. Any thoughts?

FYI, front 350r springs are $38 each in Canada. That's like, $5 US? Rears are $135 each, or $100 US. $346 total CDN, $260 US.

Steeda Linears are $469, or $350 US.

What rear springs are the brothers paring with the 350r fronts?

[MENTION=26233]Rebellion[/MENTION] and I both went with BMR SP085.

Wasn't there someone that wanted to attempt it with the SP088?

I'm going with the BMR085's if the rear 350R's don't work out. It seems the 085's are what most of the guys on here currently use who are running 350R fronts. At this time I have no reason to believe the left 350R rear springs won't work, but I'll be confirming this once the 2nd rear spring gets sent to me and I attempt the install.

My springs are ordered. As soon as I know the rear fitment, I'll post. Unless you beat me to it!

Compared to the 350r rates, the 088 (softer) should be a bit more understeer but more traction. The 085 should be a bit less understeer, but also less traction.

Are any of you running stiffer rear bars with this setup (085 or 088)?

I would go stiffer spring and less bar on the driven axle to ensure you can keep load consistently on the inside tire, as well as improving stability over single-wheel bumps while cornering. I am running the PP rear bar with 085 rears and the car does not feel like it needs more. It's very flat.

 

[ansibe]

Thanks BmacIL, that's very helpful. I'll be running the PP rear bar until I decide to change the car's balance.

How is your car at corner apex? A touch of understeer? What tire setup are you running?
