Just read your thread, very nice engineering and fab work, love the mitutoyo calipers! disappointing about the garagistic stuff, The body kit looks to have turned out fantastic.

It is very green!

Sadly, Id just burn anything Garagistic.

My garagistic subframe bushings did the same thing, except it was the full flange that snapped off...

Can someone confirm if these Garagistic delrin bushings work or not? What surprised me is that they are so hard that one cracked when I desperately tried to hammer it to the place (with a plastic hammer). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So Condor version was selected. I made also reinforcement plates from 3mm mild steel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We will see how difficult it is to adjust & tighten. Fortunately there is no tank on the way. Next point of consideration comes with the pumpkin bushing. Hole is 84.0mm. Garagistic riser bushing is 85.0mm. Condor version is 84.5mm. I would not like to press the bushing in violently as the surrounding material is cast aluminium. It is weak part anyway without extra load. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OH man.. those are going to suck to tighten. Check out the IE serrated ones, every serration is about .25 degree adjustment, and they fit into slots so they are easy to tighten.

I welded a nut on the threaded back side because you know that's gonna strip out...

Yes, I'll do something like this as soon I get the missing plate.

I have couple of goals for this modification

• Get the toe & camber corrected
• Fix the anti-geometries that are f..ked up when the car is heavily lowered
• keep the roll center as much original as possible

So I will lift the mounting points as high I can without opening the rear passenger floor ( like done in DTM cars where rules maybe prevented rising higher ). I already have the 12mm riser subframe bushings on the place, but there is still way to go.

ForcedFirebird Thanks for the reminder about privacy... fortunately the address points to local freight pick up point.
