Took a deposit on this car today it's now Sold. I was offered a good amount of money for it, which I could not refuse. Now have money to fix up my rare 1992 JDM Hardtop.

I have recently put the suspension geometry kit on my track car. It made a noticeable difference on the track and the car felt more driver friendly/predictable. I'll be able to tell you more in couple more track days.
But again my car is fully welded roll caged, so the effect of changes/improvements is different/amplified comparing to road cars.

Dunno if I would be purchasing the suspension parts... Especially if you are using the car on the road. I don't know how tried and trusted these are but Lotus has many toe link failures due to toe links using similar fixings. Also note if you are using these on the road you'll be going through bearings every 10000km at best I would suspect.
n the US
Just be aware of these problems. Who makes the parts? They USA made?

Stuka using these parts on his track car, Made in the US.

Was looking at getting an engineer to make a set here. I have already locally sourced the rose joints. The car will do more track work than general driving.

For the back story on this build search My Money Pit - SW20

I replace with all new disks and Project Mu Club Racer pads. It one of best investment yet.

Have a total of two e85 tunes and two 98ron tunes
This is the latest tune on e85 341.2 rwkw. red line is with extra boost add in mid range. Rpm down to 7700rpm

Redoing new front spoiler
Spent two hours on this last night ripping it back still another two hours to go. There is five layers crap on it.

Now adding a gen 3 sub frame, Pricing up new coil overs weighted for each corner with adjustable preloads and dampering settings any suggestion would be great. and I'm going to paint it, I will strip back to the metal and paint Red or Black, Adding new front spoiler with aluminium under side cover to help with air turbulence. Will add a 45mm wastage gate and sell of 38mm one.

Looking at adding these parts

Front Geometry

Rear Geometry

What do you think is it worth the coin?
