I'm guessing they will be at some point, but I meant more so like if you're wanting to do it soon. I'm sure they'll be making more and stocking them as a level 2 kit for the SN platform.

ttocs Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 they have it on their website already with the choice of the adjustable internal valves so you can tune the ride as well as the height. But I have to ask is this going to be a regular thing on their site I am a little confused by the 20 sets. I understand its not for everyone and they are probably not likely to sell thousands of these but if I get them are they serviceable or even replaceable if one goes out?

I understand its not for everyone and they are probably not likely to sell thousands of these but if I get them are they serviceable or even replaceable if one goes out? The ride height is adjustable through the air pressure, the valving (rebound) is adjustable through the knob. Keep in mind, these are the same struts/plates that are used in our coilovers, so they won't be hard to run through. I've already got 3 sets of coilovers and 3 air kits built and leaving, I don't think we'll have problems selling them . Also, there is a 1,000,001 mile warranty on the shocks/struts. They are serviceable or replaceable, but I can say publicly and go to bed with a clear conscience, that the only shocks that I've had to rebuild/replace are ones that have been severely neglected, the guy just wanted a different valve code (for racing), or the car was in a wreck. I'll stand behind them 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The caster is adjusted with the plate on the tower, the camber is adjusted through the upper bolt in the strut mount. You can see how it's slotted, the eccentric bolt gives off a huge amount of adjustment. PS, yes the car is purple (technically, sapphire blue)...it's my dad's, I don't give him too much lip, it's 532rwhp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Dan, if you get these soon do you think you'll install them before all the house stuff/move really gets going or just wait? I'd like to at least. I don't think we'll put the house on the market for another few weeks because we have some things to do first like some flooring to replace carpet that Stanley Steemer's incompetent services ruined, and some various painting/staining. I'm not in a hurry to get the house on the market really. As you could probably guess, I rarely get in a hurry with things. When you're in a hurry, you do a shitty job and make shitty decisions. Neither of which I want to be doing regarding getting a new house! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeRT Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Haha, good deal. I agree with rushing things. Something like that, where there's no real deadline, if you start to lose patience and get in a hurry, that's when it's time to take a break.

95riosnake Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Not a ton to update, I've been working on the house a bit while I wait for the new quarter panel (any updates on that @Psychorugby?). But I have been getting other things squared away on the car in the meantime. One issue was that the cigarette lighter hole in the new shifter bezel was bigger than my stock one, and I didn't feel like paying someone on eBay for a later model one. Laser cutting time. Cut out some polystyrene rings to make an adapter collar. Glued the front two together and added a little bevel to the one that will be seen A little satin black and it's good to go. I think I'm just going to get a cap that pushes in, definitely never going to smoke so getting a lighter for it is pointless. While we're on the topic of carbon, here's something I haven't seen anyone do yet. This should really step things up in the trunk. I always thought the trunk striker trim was ugly, so I fixed that. The top grooves have been filled in, and I had the same guy wrap it that did my E3 pod. In case anyone is wondering, you can find him on FB and IG as Carbon Fiber Element. I also started on the Team Z K member install. I guess it isn't a true install, as it's only going in for mock up so I can weld on the tabs for the Stifflers lower chassis brace, then the K member will be getting powder coated red to match my IRS. I have the stock K ready to drop out but ran out of time last weekend so I left the bolts in until I can hit it again this weekend. Once the K member is ready for powder I will have a BUNCH of parts to drop off to my powder coater. Once I get all that stuff back I can really start building some steam on this car finally. Side note, question for you guys with tubular K's... where do you put the jack when you jack up the front of the car? I used to always put the jack saddle under the middle of the K member, but obviously I'll be losing that option now. I thought about maybe welding on a bracket that I could put the jack on, not sure what I'm gonna do there. I definitely don't want to have to jack up the front of the car behind the front wheels and alternate side to side... I did end up deciding to pull the upper intake and bolt on a motor lift plate to hang the engine from my engine support bar. So here's a couple pics of that just for the hell of it because this update doesn't have many pics, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow90coupe Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Grrr too much sex is always going on in this thread. So many awesome carbon fiber pieces! I LOVE it! As for the jacking point with a tubular k, I always just put a rag on top of my jack and jack up in the middle of the tube where I did with the stock k-member. It hasn't slipped off and crunched my oil pan... yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
