Right now I'm planning on ground control's race coilover kit(koni single adjustables with race valving) its a pretty serious kit for a pretty good deal then ie sways and all the bushings and new control arms.

Do you have a link to it? If you dont mind me asking what's it running you for the coilover kit?

$1589 plus the $190 for them to shorten the front struts. I think its a great deal for everything your getting, coilovers, camber plates, rear shock mount, ect. When I get more serious about ordering I'll be researching the koni rave valving versus ground controls custom valving for the dampers. I also have no idea what spring rates I should be looking at yet, too.

Are you a member on the pro3 yahoo group?

[bmann88]

Did you pull your extra wires? Or just leave them zip tied up somewhere?

[bmann88]

I removed a bunch of wires, especially the ones that went under the drivers seat to the center counsel area.
So right now I just have the two bundles of wires running down the sill to the rear bulkhead, and I cleaned up the wiring under the dash a little bit. The picture doesn't show that.


Now I need to make sure the car still will run properly, but I need a motor that isnt in pieces first.

Got all the glass pulled, and just waiting to hear back from my cage builder, then it shouldn't be too long before I get it back. Did TC build your cage?? What did they charge you id you dont mind me asking?

pmed. who are you thinking about for the cage?

[Bglad]

Got your PM, Yeah I thought there quote was pretty steep too. His name is Kevin Benson. He build sprint car frames, and cages on the side. I used to work with him awhile back so I'm getting a hell of a deal I feel, and I trust my life to his welds and work. PRobably gonna run a little less than 1500.

TC design will give you a discount on a cage if you bring in 2 or more guys wanting a similar cage. I got a 200 dollar discount for bringing in two e30s.

[Bglad]

200 off a almost 7k price tag is not enough IMO.
