SSB uprights in the house. 2" correction and drilled for Evo X calipers.
So far winter project will include uprights, evox calipers, girodis 2pc X rotors, and ESM spherical bushings. Still need to get rotors and sell mine. Picked up evo x calipers a while back. Need to transfer over my RB pistons and rebuild them.
Just swapped in straight premixed coolant and filled and flashed car for 93 octane. Car is ready for hibernation. Just need to get some 40 wt oil for cold winter starting.
Will they cause a noticeable difference in handling or just more mechanical grip? Hoping for a seat of my pants kind of improvement
Basically they will require less front roll rate so you can shift some of that total weight transfer rearward. If you have your car balance fairly well on stock up right, these will probably induce some push cause you don't need as much roll stiffness up front. I always recommend running a stock front bar with adjustable brackets. Things get real good once you soften the front and stiffen the rear. You'll also have more resistance to lifting the inside rear letting you throw more rear bar at it.
If you previously got corner entry hop, this also seems to fix the entry side of things. Throttle out is lessened but can still be induced in the right combination of lat and long load. More rear spring seems to help that as I haven't gotten it since I started upping my rear game even at Nats concrete.
I'm curious to see how these work out for Marc and I as we are both way down on spring rate and up on bar vs Dallas and most of the autox guys.
Would be awesome to not have to go up on front spring rate as lower rates = more grip and as I add more aero I'll have to up the rear rate so that should go hand in hand with the corner exit hop that I've been tussling with.
