'THE FOUR' Options

[4-eyed-freek]

Hey guys!

Been a few years since ive been around the 6gc world, in that time ive gone through school and worked my way up in life. through that time i never forgot the passion i had for my 6gc and told myself one day i would own one again. the day came and the opportunity could not be passed up. over 2000 miles, one college football game(rough night lol) and way too much in toll money got me to my dream, a dream that cant be told with words. so i welcome you, my st205 gt4.

(pictures soon to come)

Spent the past few days collecting the last of the parts and waiting for them all to arrive. I was convinced that the berk down pipe was the best mod I had done to the car but I fully retract that statement. This is hands down the best thing that has been done as far as a noticeable difference. The following parts were replaced -

New front struts
New strut tops front and rear (fronts are moded, they are st204 style mounts and yes they are awesome!)
New drivers side lower control arm $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
New tein S tech springs
New ball joints in front struts
New front and rear sway bar bushings

Although it may not look like a lot, all you super strut owners out there know how much $$$was just thrown down. Prices are almost out of this planet..
The current ride quality is awesome, not crashy like coilovers but very responsive to corners. Minimal body roll as well. No more clunky noises from the faulty strut tops and control arm. I'm very pleased with this set up, I would highly recommend this over coilovers. The ride is appalling with coils, RIP to your spine. Something with super strut seems to over exaggerate the ride with coils, with a set up similar to this the ride feels very similar to a normal performance car!

New lower control arm from tcb, price=unreal


New vs old


St204 strut top, you also need the spring plate below it if you use this option.


Installed, not in the picture is the new full spring dust boot. Trying something new to me out. Covers the whole spring instead of just the shaft.
