But yes, more mechanical grip because it puts the car in a better behaved area of the camber curve when it's lowered.


I ordered myself a set of the LCAs as well. First person to place an order on his new site too 😜 This rounds out my SSB collection, now I have every evo specific part he makes 😂😁
Do you wear a large or med shirt? I'll have to see what I have. Large you probably swim in and med probably short..

(Sorry for multi-post... I did it wrong. )

That’s a big ol can of worms conversation. Basically, front 6” raised roll center, fixes camber loss in bump issue, more inboard tire clearance, bump steer adjustment for a range of caster and ball joint lengths, weight/stiffness.

Rear is actual Roll Moment change (lowering does not change roll moment) that has huge impact on turn-in, linearize rear camber curve for more control in slip angle, gets back anti-squat geometry, rear bump steer adjustment with replaced tie rod link.

Gotta pick and choose, a car setup for multiple classes will be competitive in none of them. Choose what series you want to dedicate yourself to and swing for the fences in the rest of them.

Medium usually fits me pretty good. Large is always too big haha. I love repping friends' companies!

Give or take all of it. The front diff is lubricated by the trans oil.

I suppose you could jack up the passenger side really high and keep the oil from draining out if you really wanted to try it.

You have a stock UICP? I haven't seen one of those in years.

What he meant to say is it's not a 50whp increase and he's too cheap to consider 200 bucks lol. He doesn't mind the lag and the look

Injen is steel, heavy, and garbage. First kit I had. If you can find a stock route alum from STM or the like do that.
