not to clutter this thread but you have not read the PSM post about them. They WILL NOT SELL YOU the flca WITHOUT modding YOUR knuckles. They are selling it as a kit. Not to say it couldn't work with JTP's, but spending extra money twice for a similar result is stupid.

What PBM is offering is a LEVEL UP solution.. (saying a basic rack spacer and tie rods ends would be level 1, my knuckles would be a level 2 and the PBM drop knuckle and FLCA would be level 3) it's pretty much the end all for front suspension upgrade for the FC... paired with their full rear suspension solution it's a total package for a Max'd out FC drift suspension |
thank you for clarifying, I was going off what I read this morning on the page. Cheers!

Damn I already thought this car rocked at ASB, but it looks so much better!
Oh also this is the dude that was talking to Chris and Radio, nice meeting you! |
loved seeing this car get down in the ASB video and love the seeing it in it's current state.
i have pics of this car on my phone as motivation to finish my FC. I currently drift a LS1 s13.4 but wanted to try something different. Keep up the good work and looking fwd to seeing u drift n 2014. |

...to be honest there's a small increase in angle the biggest difference is in the roll center correction which is pretty awesome... although if i ran smaller wheels.. like 9" or even 8.5" fronts instead of 10" there would be a greater increase in angle..
PBM is saying Martin's wheels (17x9+20 & 235/40/17) are the highest offset you can run and (I'm assuming) still have max angle. If your wheels, while wider, have the same (or less) back-spacing than a 9J+20 wheel wouldn't you still be getting the maximum angle available from the kit? Or, do the wider wheels hit/rub in some place other than the frame-rail / control-arm / sway-bar due to the increased width over Martin's setup? |

Any updates?

going to willow springs for Just Drift this weekend... should have some footage up shortly after..

Hey J.T.P what type of engine mount and trans mounts are you using?
|
What a great build up yet again. After reading the whole thread and noticing all the PBM(PSM) goodies your running I just had a quick question. Currently I'm running the solid diff bushings and front mount, and the solid subframe bushings, I got on the PBM site and noticed a few more goodies for the rear but i really don't understand what each of them do and what they actually help with. Any chance you could explain the following?
Toe Eliminator Bushing Trailing Arm Rear Upper Bushing FC Trailing Arm Front Bushing spherical bearing conversion Thanks in advance |
The toe eliminator (usually referred to as DTSS eliminators) get rid of the passive rear wheel steering.
the other two (I think you're using two names for the same part actually) just limit the travel of the trailing arm to a vertical swinging motion instead of a rubber bushing that over time gets sloppy. Taking the slop out means a more tunable and predictable suspension. |

Toe Eliminator Bushing Trailing Arm Rear Upper Bushing FC Trailing Arm Front Bushing spherical bearing conversion Thanks in advance trailing arm upper bushing basically eliminates the top spherical bearing since there's no longer any movement at that point with the toe eliminator bushings installed. fc trailing arm front bushing conversion basically just eliminates the sloppy front bushing as riggs mentioned... you can also lock it out to the full rear position when using the toe links, which will increase the wheel base a bit which slightly helps stabilize rotation of the car in drift.

holy shit man. thats some shit man.
|
which rates did you go with on the pros? I have had them for awhile and curious to hear your thoughts on them.
|
running same rates as my dg-5's to get a direct comparison for feedback to Dan and the guys at PBM... 8kg front 6kg rear
|
thought you might. But the damper is the regular pro damper yes? or did they set you up with something else? Curious mainly because the 10k 8k is certainly stiff.
Dan is awesome, Dave to. |
yes damper is the pro damper, just with the softer rate springs
|
Are you a dealer for them JTP?
|
no I'm not, just hit them up directly to order.
|
|
sweet
|
well.... Hows the new springs treating you? Car is looking good .
