wait, what?

 

Made some bumpsteer measurements on the S14 rear suspension this week. Now you know how to dial in your traction arms! Sorry S13 people. No data for you.

 

Suspension Specs?
I am better off reading Chinese.XD
I feel like a noob.

 

^that

 

Would you say 12.25/8.5 being the best for a car with decent power since it has similar toe-in under compression and droop? So with Toe-In helps with stability and traction correct out of a corner or is that to drastic of toe in change?

 

Here are the general rules that I've accumulated reading a few different things.

- Bumpsteer under 1" of droop isn't going to matter much. The droop side is the unloaded side. At 3" of droop, that wheel probably isn't on the ground anyways.

- .020" of toe is basically negligible. When you go to the alignment shop with your custom specs, what are they in? 1/16's. That's .063".

- That said, the 12.25/8.50 setup looks nice, as you have basically negligible toe change over 3" of total travel. And when you're up in the massive compression area, an extra nearly 1/16 of toe-in will be nice for those hardest turns.

 

^Understood none of that, lmao.
And I'm almost done painting the pillars and the rear section inside the cab, will post pics a bit later.

 

Just sourced an s13 wiring harness, intake manifold, fuel rail and injectors for the swap. Should be going down soon.

I'd love for it to be done before my birthday(march 22nd), but I highly doubt it will.

Atleast I'll have the trans swap finished by then.

 

Sounds perfect for deals gap! I'll have to remember to change the car to this when its due for the next alignment.

 

Oh and I just joined the Gizzmo club
