Teaser Pics: New suspension parts for TGM3

[RHAGEL]

I love the way it responds now. Havent had a chance to get out n really push it though....
Who makes endlinks for the MZ3?? I am still using the stock ones as MS doesnt make any for the MZ3...The stock ones are hella long....

The end links listed dont seem to be any more substancial than the stockers...I will keep the stock ones for now. If I note any deformation due to the upgraded swaybars I may upgrade in the future....

So any updates on how the car rides/handles?

Got the alignment done today as we didnt get a chance to do that on sat...Wasnt to far off but I wanted it to be perfect. Last Jan I had curbed up the pass side rear stock rim when I took a turn too tightly. The camber was off on that side and not adj. Well with the rear MS camber links installed the rear camber is all green now... Took a spirited drive home and a curve that normally gets a bit squeamish at a certain speed I took at 20mph+ faster and the car stuck like glue..... Love the ride is all I can say....

Well I finally got the pics of the install uploaded and posted. I was planning to do a step by step guide with pics but this install was way to complex for that as I had to help in alot of it.....

Looks damn good! I know you like the handling but how does the car ride? It is noticably bumpier/harsh or is it still very livable?

 

[VRMS6]

Yes the ride is a bit stiffer but not overly so...Keep in mind my last 2 cars were a 02 WRX that I had modded out and a Jeep Liberty Renegade with all the atributes of a truck suspension... Overall I find the tradeoff in soft ride acceptable for the newfound handeling performance gained....

 

[RHAGEL]

(cool) I was thinking of doing the same set up but using racing beat springs instead of the MS ones. I can't go too low, I already scrape on my driveway stock. Glad to hear you like it though.
