Sleeper Cell's Coupe *56K death trap*

[Bax]

So you're pretty much saying for what it requires, it's not worth it? haha

sidenote, I'm ready to see your new wheels.

 

[Sleeper Cell]

To some it might be worth it, but if you factor in that it would require like five new arms per side and a new upper mount, it could get expensive, just to move the trailing arm forward haha. I'll do a photoshoot soon.

so pumped for the new set-up

 

[99accord boi]

So I checked the rear suspension layout to see if it would be possible to pull the wheel more forward, and what I found was that it would basically be impossible. There are so many arms in so many directions that if you shortened one, you would need to change the angle of all the bushings and possibly alter the length of all the other arms. This would also pull the hub inside more (good for people that want lower offset wheels), but you would need a new upper mount to allow your coilover that type of motion. This can be achieved though with a spherical bearing and I don't think a coilover manufacturer would have too much of a problem figuring out a way to do this (AMR possibly could manufacture this part, even if you use other coilover systems).

The only part I see this being possible on would be the upper mount. The rest of the arms would need new bushings/bearings, adjustable lengths, etc. You could probably reuse your endlinks as they offer a bit of flexibility, but yeah... Kind of sucky. Can't do any of this cheaply.

u could also just buy only the rear arms (toe arms) and a camber kit and it would correct some of the suspension geometry my freind did this on his car and his rear wheels sit alot better on the fenders then our cars

i would deff suggest the 16k im 4 cyl and the 15k arent close to 240 siffness yet

with that much stiffness on our cars would it set off an air bag lol... What's the cons of hoing too stiff

 

[Sleeper Cell]

Swift and Hyperco springs are actually quite smooth, even when the spring rates are high. I don't think it would feel a ton stiffer than what I already have, but it would be a lot better.

Cons about going too stiff would be that your tires wear quicker when cornering, since the spring is not relieving as much force on the tires.

Even with an alignment and how much quicker cause I run through tires like a girl just leaving after prom

 

[Sleeper Cell]

It's impossible for me to tell you because there are infinite factors that will affect your tire wear...

Thanks guess I will be going 16 k/g since swift is the way to go and you got to give us an hd video I'm just drooling to the new setup
