My New HR Parts Rear Suspension

[Boost231]

Well about 3 weeks ago i went out to arizona and put a few new parts on the car. i installed pauls, hr bar, double adjustable uppers, +1/4 lowers. i also installed qa1's, factory replacement springs for the rear, and pauls tranny crossmember mounts. i have other parts i need to put on but not sure if i will get them on before the WCN. also i need to adjust the pinion angle as its at -4 at the momment. anyways pictures speak for them selves. everyone likes pictures.


o a few things on the picturs. i was installing the hr bar with no directions as i had it sitting in a box for years so the bolts are wrong on one side while its dangaling there. and also the new directions say put a washer between the gold bushing holder and the black axle clamp which i will do when i go out next. i didnt get any picture of the cross member bushings.

rear end is fully built. welded axle tubes, 33 spline axles, spool etc, im going to be ordering all wheel disk and front sc&c parts but havent done it as i dont have time to put it on. anyways let me know what you think

Ah, if it was me, I would have spent all that money on the Rampart Street hookers. Oh, wrong forum. J/K, Brent looks very nice. Good to see you spending all that money on the economy. Glad to see that you are alive and well.

lol really doubt that, i've seen those pics with the front wheels of the ground at irwindale/toyota speedway

 

[Boost231]

I wish. That wouldn't be my car. Maybe once I get the tbrake in and some slicks

 

[cruzn57]

Lookin real good!

that will keep you busy for a bit,
should help 60ft too !

 

[Boost231]

That was the goal lee. I wanted to get better 60 foots. Best so far was a 1.60 off the foot brake at 5psi. Also the rearend would move a lot when making a turn so I wanted to get that fixed as well. I think the bushings where shot in the lowers letting the rearend move. The spool doesn't help either.

Brent:
Is Rampart Devision trying to match Santa Monica PD for overtime $$. The new '09 Cad CTS-V on the "one time only single payment plan" left me so broke I am going to have to sell blood to have enough money to buy gas for it.
