Bought my geos a while back now, only just started putting the car back together the only problem is, the suspeion dont go high enough, the car sits on the floor pretty much? can you explain this, also the lock isnt that great?
What suspension are you using? If the lock isn't that great then it's your alignment. Check out or Driftworks S15. That is all off the shelf Driftworks suspension. It has no modifications or special pieces.
That is exactly the same as what I've just had made to solve this problem They will be supplied with any kit being used with internal handbrake as of next week
apex gen 2 10/8 sping rate, the car is pretty much on the floor, the tank is like 2mm away from the floor. They are pretty much at the top of how far there ment to go I think. Found out today the loock is because i put the steering rack on not on the right spline, But i was scared at first because its worse than standard atm!.
Thought I finally had everything sorted out when I got the bag of washers to install these things only run into the same problem Hudson had.... Will have to find a machine shop that will make some spacers. What a pain Comments from those running the z32 e-brake? Is the e-brake really that bad after installing these knuckles? Do the shoes just need to be readjusted or broken in? Hydro is NOT an option at this time.
any news on why my cars on the floor? its ontly the rear mind the fronts are fine. Normaly its the rear suspeion that dont go down far enough. but mine are think of there last couple of threads on the cups. all geo hubs, full arms kit at the back. standard bottom arms on rear, after market ones on front. apex gen 2s 10/6 spring rate. cheers
They are designed to lower your car, the drop is 50mm at the rear. Some suspension will mean you won't be able to raise the car as high as you'd like. The easiest way to get more ride height would be to space the top mount or sleeve the bottom bracket
I just cut the bottom mount and welded in a piece of 50mm long tube the same diameter as the coilover. That way it takes up the difference. Front is normally fine.
Anyone having issues with handbrake cables hitting the prop now the mounting points are up the other way? Mounted the lines properly on the tunnel and the frame to keep them from slacking down but they still hit :/
Yeh I had that, cos they have to crossover they are closer to prop at that point. Just tie them up to the heats held as best u can.
First time skiddig on these Saturday at lydden. Errrrr wow! The car has so much more grip during drift and bloody he'll it powers out the corners with some energy. Took some getting used to having last been drifting a ps13 with ridiculous camber and almost no mid corner grip. The car just feels so much faster when it is sliding. The proof that it was using the tyres to much more effect was that the tyres were prob only lasting a 2-3mins
Tried fitting my front ones the other day but they would not work with my Evo 9 Brembos and DB power adapter....the disks would not turn and were fouling on the caliper (as in the caliper had moved towards the centre of the disk slightly if you know what I mean) Has anyone else run this setup and did you have any problems? Or could anyone shed any light why this might happen unless the measurements are slightly out? Cheers
Made some use out of my Geomasters on Saturday at Lydden. Car feels amazing to drift and very stable, but jesus fuck is it grippy haha! Caught me out at one point and I binned my car into the tyre wall pretty well. Still had a blast driving it though. Thanks for the knuckles guys!!
