Default Old School ZSpeed A arms rock.

I just installed them last night and all I can say is wow. With my specialty products Arms could only go to neg. 1.5 deg. which is way to low for my tastes.

These are the Specialty Product Arms and even all the way back all I can get is neg. 1.5 deg. This may be due to the fact that IM running integra knuckles.


Here are the Zpeed arms right before I installed them.



Here is one of the arms mid way through the install


Here is the car before the Zspeeds


Here is it after.

your engine ground is in the wrong place , move it over one bolt

there - grounding the valve cover
right place - grounding the BLOCK

Nope I wish they did. I did switch the right arm with the left to get a little bit more caster.

Because it is a track car. It rides on 12k/ 14k springs and its street tires are A032s.

Its set up for Solo1 but i do Solo2 right now mainly but when this summer hits Ill have my Solo1 license.

Doctor CorteZ- IM on that fence too. IM debating on whether to go for a full cage and dump the roll bar. The bar is legal for Solo 1 but the added protection the cage offers is hard to ague with. The only problem is cage is not the safest thing to have around your head when you drive without a helmet even if it is padded.

gymkhana- PIR, PR, and bremerton have multiple track days and lapping days available. http://www.garagespl.com/track.asp?ID=5 Here is a link to a lot of track days coming up in the WA/OR area.
