Register on here just to follow your build haha. Those rack spacers just generic ones? Been needing more angle and can't modify the knuckles yet.

Hell yeah man I appreciate it! I update my instagram pretty much Everytime I do something and will be posting videos from this weekend if you want to follow that as well. These rack spacers were sent to me from Russel when he modified my knuckles. I'm assuming they are generic I had to take a dremel and a sanding attachment to make them fit over my tie rod but not that big a deal car maxed at 50 degrees of angle. I measured my wife's stock one at about 37 degrees.

Finally got the car pretty much dialed in and all the Gremlins sorted I think. I am sitting right at about 50 degrees of angle, which stock is 37 on my wife's s550. Had a sway bar link break because the performance pack sway bar is so stiff I couldn't lengthen them, will have to loosen sway bar mounts when I get a new link and push it down that way. Had a tie rod end come loose because I didn't get instructions with them so I followed the fsm specs. DO NOT DO THAT lol SPL since has added them to their site so you can download the instructions there. I have an even this weekend which will be the first shake down for the car and will post back! Also if anyone is interested in this setup I recommend contacting Russel Walker from Walker pro motorsports because you will save money. I paid about 300$ more than he charges for everything because I pieced it all together and didn't know he offered everything. I would not recommend TF works they haven't gotten back to me on a single issue I've had but Russel on the other hand has been a tremendous help on any issue I've had thus far, along with SPL. So I recommend buying from either of the above not TF works.

All I can say is WOW. Considering how the car performed last year stock vs where I currently have the car is amazing. Had unlimited seat time this past weekend at midpond. I came of the track only 3 times. Once to eat and the other to change tires. 8 hours straight driving and I never saw coolant temps above 200 degrees! With where the car is at now along with how I have progressed as a driver I am looking to make my way into pro am by 2020!

Thanks bro! As far as I know there are 2 of us in the country running this front suspension setup. Car didn't get over 200 degrees all day and I hot lapped the shit out of it

Had a boot come off and not have the rack sticking and grinding it sounds like from dirt/mud so I ordered a replacement 11k miles unit.

ignoring the drum brake/ handbrake set up. Do the 350gt calipers and discs bolt straight onto the gt rear hubs?
