Where can I get a top mount with a 2.25" or 2.5" spring seat, that will mate with the stock sized shock shaft?

My Penskes already have lower seats for 2.5" (or it might be 2.25") standard coilover springs, so I just need an upper seat to use those springs.

 

Saner front bar on full soft. I don't want to run a softer front bar as the last thing I would want is the car to feel more loose.

80.0000.0007 - 27mm tall
or
80.0000.0008 - 40mm tall

Those are the 2.25" ones. You can order those and use the 2.5" adapters if you like. Or you can get roundy round 2.5" upper perches that are $13 each IIRC from Speedway Motors. If you want those - lemme know and I'll find the part # tomorrow.

 

so what shocks are you all sujesting? do we need to run some $4000 mortons or will some $1800 kwv3's dp the job or some $2600 ast's

 

You need Motons. If you don't have them, you will lose

 

That really depends on your budget and how knowledgeable you are. You could get some $4000 Motons but if you dont know how to utilize them and tune them, your car could handle like a pile of poo.

That being said... A set of KWv3's should be fine for most people and they can be had at a decent price point.

 

+1

My JRZ's will beat your Motons

 

Buddy Club > Moton. JDM rulz, yo!

 

I have stuff that starts with an M... so that should work too.

yea I under stand that the guys that have been doing it for year are gonna kick ass no matter if you had a completly preped car and they were in a stock s2k if you can't drive. This is my first year autoxing and I plan to run in the str class. I can save money for some big money mortons If Thats what I need but If I can still have a really good handling for half the money then its not worth the extra 2k. I dd my car right now but I plan to keep it for a long long time and track it reguarly so I rather buy good once then half to buy twice because I didn;t buy the right thing the first time. I'm a college kid and don't I'm not gonna be rolling out with a fully str prepped car but I look at it like a couple season project that I'll continue to mod as I have the funds avalable. Between now and the start of the season I will have about 6000 to invest in my car to start my str set-up.

I have a t1r 70mm single

I figure
949 wheels $1000
XS tires $400 (I got the hook up on tires)
solid bar $650 shipped
Shocks $$$$


So basicly I'll have 4 grand left to start my str s2k. I have heard from a local member that I autocross with (marc) that the ast's from what he heard where amazing and did really well. Which are like half the price of mortons. Although I'm looking at it was a long term investment so I wouldn't want to invest in somthing that I would want to upgrade later.

How do the ast's stack up against the mortons and how dd-able or mortons? I dont care to much about a rough ride but Having to rebuild them every 6 months will leave me broke lol
