My complete VR-4 suspension rebuild thread

Here's the first link to the eBay ad that wasn't working in your post: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=230750758483.

Let me know if you do a group buy on the bushings or need a certain amount of people for it.

Should have a couple extra in a week or so..will keep you posted.

Now, what we need is someone to design a sway bar that fits better than the addco ones. I was about to buy one but then started reading about fitment issues, too bad Saner is no longer around.

Thanks man, I'm doing my front now. Will be doing the rear before long.

anybody know if these camber plates would bolt up to our struts? I know we can make em fit the strut towers.

Considering I just installed a set of EVO 8/9 coilovers on my car about two weeks ago I'd say yes they will fit with a little bit of modifying. I had to grind about 3/16" of material on each hole for the mount for the front struts to bolt in. The spacing is closer compared to ours so the bolts don't sit quite as far out. All I did was take a carbide bit and a drill. It took me about 5 minutes per side on the front to cut out enough material on the inside of the bolt hole so they would bolt right up.

Yeah I think it may be more a matter of does the bolt on the top of the strut fit the hole on the plate. I want to keep my ECS struts but have more camber correction for the front two.

I still haven't seen a review on those BTW......unless I missed it.

Not too sure. Here's a comparision pic between an EVO 8/9 coilover and a 3S Tein coilover.

I haven't had a chance to do an indepth review on them because I have only driven about 15 miles on them so far. I have other bugs/issues non-related to the suspension that I need to work out. So far with the stiffness set at 15/20 front and 12/20 on the rear it rides really well. The car stays planted and the body roll isn't there. I haven't had a chance to mess with the dampening on other settings yet but I'm willing to bet this will get a near stock ECS sport mode ride out of the car because it has been that impressive so far. I'll wait and see how it turns out. Hopefully in a week or two I'll get more driving time. The problem right now is the last few weeks I've been working on other 3S's so I haven't had the chance to fix some things on the Stealth to put it back on the road.

Ordered a few new things over the weekend, and picking up some more misc used parts from a salvage yard to take to powdercoating. I should have a completely new subframe by the time I pull the one off my car. BTW anyone looking for any of the rear subframe components hit me up in a few weeks

Im curious about how well the evo coilovers work out. I just love the ECS so I cannot see myself switching that out, ride quality is important to me, and another thing, I can't bring myself to drop another grand or two on the suspension after doing all this stuff. My main goal was to tighten up the whole suspenson. I may re evaluate it on down the road a bit.

You should probably just stick with lowering springs, sway bars, and deal with the body roll since stock struts are the best ride quality you're going to get.
