JRZs

 

yeehaw!

been on track yet with them?

 

Nope, just tooled around the neighborhood with them a little today. They're pretty damn nice though. There's noticeably more grip than my JIC's had, they're more comfortable, the car responds quicker, and it's easier to control.

I'm still working on borrowing scales this week so I can balance the car before SOW this weekend.

 

Congrats on the upgrade.

Do the reservoir's have to be mounted horizontally?

 

No. In fact, Krazik's is vertical in front.

 

 

It's about time John!

Side note: I really miss seeing these in my garage everyday

Hey Karim, thanks again for all your help with this!

 

Those look nice. Clean install too. Is there an advantage to having the helper springs on the top vs. the bottom?

 

JRZ, for whatever reason, shipped my dampers with 2.25" ID spring mounts (they usually use 2.5" ID). So I had to use 2.25" springs... Problem was, the spring spacer that goes between the main and the helper spring does not have a large enough opening at the middle to fit over the shock body. So I had no choice but to run the helper at the top instead of the bottom. Also, I had to modify the top spring mount so the mount and the spring spacer wouldn't bind against each other. The block length of the Hypercoil helper spring I had at first (it's length when totally flattened out) was not as long as the distance between the spring spacer and the top spring mount. I switched to Eibach helper springs because they had a longer block length. However, they still were not long enough to prevent interference between the mount and the spacer, so I had to cut away quite a bit of the top spring perch.
