Thanks for the input liltofuboix, how are you liking the spacers? May I recommend the H&R coils, I havent recieved mine yet (Joe where are you?) but all the reviews I've read here on SL have been good. I really cant wait to get mine. Seriously has anyone heard from Joe @ Dezod West? Oh and I'll definetely keep everyone updated.

 

No Prob dude!...

I love having a FULL Suspension upgrade the tC handles like a Go-Kart now!...

Yes...U need to drill-out the square holes for the arms of the Rear Brace....Yes, I took the time to cut the Foam so I can still use it....it took about an Hour to cut the foam becuz I am a Perfertionist!!!!....

 

Aargh!!! Well that makes two of us. I checked out your car on cardomain but the pics for the Ingalls brace was not showing. I'll look for a DIY on the ingalls brace. BTW sweet ride I'm really liking it.

 

I just left my foam out.

 

Well guys here's the photo of the progress sway bar, the endlinks (still need to assemble), bushings, and the little packet of grease. I'll post more photos later...watching the game, GO LAKERS!

Big ups to Paul @ Dezod!

 

Here's thepic of my Ingall's Bar.....

 

Well guys I got the Progress Sway bar installed, and all I have to say is WOW! I'm loving it. I put it on the stiffest setting and now the car handles alot better. Big ups to GammaTNT for the DIY guide. Although I actually removed both rear tires when I installed mine. I had a friend help me, the job took about 20 mins. I'll post more pics (cam decided to crap out on me). And thanks for the Ingalls brace pic TeeCizzle.

As for right now $feria$ is a little tight although I'm still waiting on the H&R coils, I'll be putting aside money for the alignment (for when I get the coils) and wheel spacers. If anyone has suggestions on spacer lengths (f&r) drop a line. I want the wheels to look flush.

 

what is the point of this mod? can you feel any handling difference?

 

greg.

coilovers>non dampning adjustable shocks any day.

sorry to say man tokico blues are basically oem replacements. at least their illumina or dspec series were comparable to koni yellows...

if i were to run shock/springs for handling i would have koni adjustables and eibach springs. for handling, not for looks btw.

 

Here's some pics, comparison, driver side, and passenger side, will post again when next mods come in.

 

bump for an answer?

 

Looks good OSide. Progress FTW!
I miss my tC! Been in the shop for almost 3 weeks! Hope to have it back tomorrow or Wed.

 

Sorry, Its a 4-point bar...IMO better than just a regular Rear Strut Bar...becuz it has the 2 arms that come out and attach to the bodyframe underneath of the car....Thus having it being connected to 4 Points of the car instead of just 2 points of the car...Gives more strength to the rear-end of the car too...

 

so you could feel a difference when you installed it?

 

it'll be like a glorified rear bar. it'll do everything that a regular 2 point one would do but better is what i'd imagine

less body roll, make tighter turns, stiffer rear end makes for a lot faster corners!

 

I'll let you guys know how it works out:

The current mods on delivery are

- Ingalls Rear Strut Brace
- DME Front Strut Bar
- Energy Suspension Master Bushing Set

When I get them in I'll try out the front strut first, then the rear brace. I'll do the bushings last since it'll be the hardest & will definetely give the best performance out of the three.

If anyone has good advice replacing the bushings please drop a line.

 

Just got the DME front strut & the Ingalls Rear Brace today. Now I'm just waiting on the bushings and the H&R coils. I'll get pics up when I get home.

 

Nice

 

Here's the pics: DME strut (still need to assemble) along with the bolts & washers





and the Ingalls Rear Brace along with its bolts & washers and guide.





I'll post pics when installed, may have to wait till this weekend...watching the game..GO LAKERS!!

& Big Ups to Paul @ Dezod

 

take it from me that handling>power mods. haha good luck!!
