stasis touring half way done...

[dewey527]

have the rears done and will do the fronts on saturday. dropping the subframe was the key! passenger side took way too long but the driver side was about 45 minutes. can't wait to see how it handles after taking off my blizzaks.

nice, make sure you have spring compressors and impact gun for the fronts

Now if we could only get a thread like this about V-Maxxx coils.............

sweet Stasis was the way to go

[dewey527]

ya it sucks to ratchet those spring compressors hopefully the fronts go a little more smoothly...and i think stasis rocks but i have to wait and see how the setup goes. i think it will be a great comprise for a daily driver.

Can't wait to see the pics of the finished project.

[dewey527]

it won't look too good with the winter setup but in the spring it should be sick! have to setup an alignment and corner balance.

have to setup an alignment and corner balance.

Please explain how you are going to corner balance a spring & damper setup? To corner balance you need adjustable ride height and adjustable sway links on this chasis.

Here is a pic of the STaSIS Touring suspension.

Please post pics of the ride height as soon as your finished!

i will look into it. i was informed i should be done to make the car feel and perform better. i've always stated i am not an expert. starting the front in a bit...just hope the movies hold over my daughter since that was a big time killer installing the rears...

ps - when you hear a metal on metal sound when breaking, like i did, make sure your buddy puts the pad on the correct way. it was reversed and luckily on the inside

you can still corner balance by adding weights where necessary

[dewey527]

HELP... anyone know what direction the springs go on the front? more coils towards top or bottom?

[Mike@PureMS]

Hope you changed out the subframe bolts.
They're one time use and should be replaced everytime they're removed.
Those sure look just look like Vogtland springs and KONI shocks.

wait a week or two to do your alignment for everything to settle properly

and impact gun FTW when using the spring compressors

[dewey527]

finally done...i will get some new subframe bolts to be on the safe side. process wasn't as bad as i thought it would be just that my 2 year daughter kept coming in and trying to take my tools...have some pics after i charge my camera battery of how it sits.

Those pics are huuuuge!

how long did this take?

[dewey527]

sorry about the pics... about 6 hours. could have cut an hour or so off for all the little stuff i had trouble with. both are pretty easy once you look at articles by capt obvious and a4mods.com

As long as the bolts will torque properly they'll be fine. I still run the original head bolts on my fully built motor, 100k and still rockin.
