I have the Ford Performance Track Shock/Strut/Spring setup with the Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber plates. I have the Steeda front and rear sway bars and have them on the stiffest setting. I went with Steeda mostly because of the 3 adjustments over the 2 from most other sway bars. I also have the Steeda strut tower brace, G-Trac Brace and those really help keep the front end level and stable around corners and when braking. I then have the Steeda rear subframe braces to help keep the back wheels planted.

I do plan to do the rest of the available suspension mods at some point but the next thing on the list is lighter wheels and some track tires. After that will be at least a 4 point cage

You can see how my car handles in this video.

Great video & we appreciate the support - looks like there are a couple parts we can still replace to make it a full g-trac suspension

Let Steeda know if there is anything more we can help with!

Best Regards,

TJ

So I have Steeda Linear Ecoboost springs with Ford Performance Track pack shocks on a Performance Pack ecoboost. Biggest praise so far was from one of my faster students, who had a c7 stingray. "This is the most balanced car I have ever ridden in! It pivots, turns in, and puts the power down so well." And I don't even have the suspension to where I want it yet.

I love this little Garmin!

I'll be going to the OTD tomorrow at M1 Concourse's Champion Motor Speedway. I'm hoping to lay down some solid laps and get more videos made

[MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION] I'm trying to install your delrin cradle bushings and the sawzall method doesn't seem to be working too well for me. I sawzalled through the case in a couple spots and I'm using a 45oz dead blow hammer and my shit looks like this. Any suggestions? Bigger hammer?

Go buy a socket that fits snuggly in that hole, a large grade 8 bolt that fits through the the socket, and a large washer or barstock that is bigger than the hole. Tightening the bolt will pull the socket through and bring the bushing with it. Took me 20 minutes to change all 4.

Two things will get it out easy:
1. Cut must be good to allow the bushing to collapse in. If your cut isn't deep enough for the whole length of the bushing it won't collapse inward and you'll never get it out
2. Dead blow no good. You need to smack it hard with a chisel and heavy hammer, 3 lbs will work.

So I got one out. And of course I got the subframe too. Salvageable or buy a new one?

 

[DAVECS1]

Salvageable. If you could clean it up and take a picture, it would be easier to see if any repair is needed.

Here's a view from the bottom.



And from the outside


You can see I went all the way through right there at the bottom

Do the Delrin Cradle Bushings and leave the diff alone. Trust me.

Maybe, down the road, add some poly diff inserts at most.

I do not recommend the Poly Cradle Bushings. I would rather see someone use our CB005 Lockout Kit, over the Poly Cradle Bushings. Not that they are not good...but it's just too much work, to put poly in the most important part of that assembly.

Kelly, are you saying leave the diff alone or only semi soft Bushings due to parts breakage or once the Cradle is locked the diff movement has a minimal impact on power transfer once it's controlled out at the wheel/control arms?

Also please shoot me an email @[email protected] when you get a chance.

I'd be heasitant to run that part in that condition...

 

[DAVECS1]

I think it will run ok. If your worried a quick zip with a mig will make it good as new
