Are they stock?

 

My bushings? Yes, they are stock. The only suspension modification in the front is the YYZ springs obviously.

 

The stock bushings suck. I wouldn't be suprised if they are torn with those autox and track day.

 

check sway bar pillow blocks. thats next in order of things that get rattly; dont forget YYZ ride softer than stock at normal speed...

 

When I changed my springs to my CMs it unsettled my sway bar end links, causing a sort of clunking noise up front when going over bumps. Seriously, sometimes those things get fucked up when you take them off / adjust them when they are seized on.

 

will be on tomorow

 

Mine has some rattles on rough roads mostly. The hats are right and lined up with the factory marks on the struts and point straight toward the engine. I already have powergrid endlinks. Could be LCA bushings but didnt have any noise till the springs went on. Its all tight/torqued and was double checked by shop when an alignment was done. I have a extra set of FE5 front struts with my TC's stock springs that I can reinstall to see if noise goes away.

 

^^^ wish my garage looked as tidy as that.

 

Thanks
Heres another shot of my main garage.

 

front 26"

rear 27"

no alignment yet only put about 5 miles on them so far but they feel great!

alot nicer ride than the pedders and the koni yellow fronts definately help too

havent driven too much yet but the handling/response is awesome!

 

how much the yyz run you?

 

if you gotta ask you cant afford them lol na ask john powell im not sure for you lol

 

lol smh....think i have the cost covered man.lol thinking of painting my calipers did u do urs urself?

 

na they were $370 shipped to cali and yup i used red g2 paint works great!

 

how u get the brembo back on there u covered it or used stickers?

 

stickers from houseofgrafx.com the brembo pictures are my car lol

 

Did you loctite the insert bolt at the bottom? Gotta do that, or make sure it's really tight.

 

nice def a mod to do....how you like those dunlop driezzas? i was goin to get those but not enough reviews thinking the michelin pilot Pole position.

 

the shop did it and yea they did

yup for sure and yup there awesome had the hankook rs3s before this but they are on backorder so i ordered these lol

 

wicked man nice ride as well, i seen the koni yellows lil intrested might be a gud sub to getting coilovers i doubt i would use them to the full potential, so i think maybe H&R springs since they give a lil lower drop and the koni yellows.

 

how long between when you did install and when you measured the fender height? I'm on pedders and with a hardcore bar and extremely happy with how it handles but if these YYZ springs are as bad ass as everyone says i may grab a set if they dont raise the car up. i was hoping the YYZ would end up about the same as Pedders up front and hair lower out back....

for those running the Koni yellows out back, which setting do you have them on?

 

the YYZ wont lower your car that much, and in fact its impossible to compare Pedders reliably as they sag from the get go. We tested brand new Pedders, and once they are tested to solid load, (coils all touching) the figures change and the spring ends up being shorter. I have a set I just took off that are 1 inch shorter one side to the other in free length.

the issue is simple, its important to have suspension travel to have handling. So there is a limit to how much lower it will be.

 

u noorjari etc may have a noise from the lowest coil on the front. I can send you a plastic isolator that can handle it, and with any luck if i split it along the tube you can put it one with the spring in place. email gloria@powellraceshop.com so we can mail them out, and if it turns out to be an issue we can make it a standard item. It dont rattle on mine, or wangspeeds, maybe we are spheshul lol

 

had pedders on for about year measured the yyz same day i got them on lol

 

John, for those of us that don't track our cars for living, how often will the springs compress all the way like that? Like someone mentioned, YYZ springs ride softer under normal driving, and they don't lower the car much.
I'm considering getting Pedders and running them with my stock FE5 suspension (from what I understand, YYZ require Koni yellows pretty soon after installation. Are the Pedders still ok for everyday street spirited driving and occasional drag strip visits? And do you still carry those on your site? Thanks ahead.
