Ordered Intrax 1K2 - questions/suggestions

[Porker]

Collected the car today, running -10F/-15R, with the roads being wet today I found that setup to be a little bit 'spiky', will probably move to -15F/-20R and see from there.

Body control has improved immensely over the PSS10 setup. Though I was hoping the 'ticking' noise on surface imperfections coming from the rear (left and right) would be cured with the new dampers. Is this something affecting all uniball'd cars? (My PSS10 was also equipped with uniball top-mounts) Note that my car is stripped and caged, it might pass more noises on to the driver than a regular car.

Further impressions will follow!

Do not go the Titanium route steel all the way ....
One of my springs, not sure what the other one is but it hurts my ass over a bump 1

What made you go for steel??? :banghead:

Had problems with the Titanium ones that were fitted in about 2007 ?? and as I track mine, and its caged etc. the steel options are stronger IN THIS APPLICATION, Titanium is only stronger when considering it in a strength/weight ratio. Titanium is also more brittle than good old steel !

I was advised not to go for the steel one because they rust?
i dont know :119: + steel stronger than Titan???

I thought it was don't go for aluminium as it breaks?

Aluminium corrodes as it reacts to he steel clamp I think mainly when used on rod and road salt but it might be all the time. avoid Aluminium.

Stainless is better than steel because it won't rust, but both are heavy.
Titanium is meant to be lighter and stronger than both, unless they have a fat lump above them :smokin:

Yep

I checked under the hood today and noticed this difference between both top-mounts. The left one has a much bigger open space than the right one? Not sure I'm happy with the way that looks.

Chassis can be so far off that as long as the geo is right you are ok.

Geo is indeed 100% identical L/R, luckily. Both sides set at -3

I think the top mounts are not aligned or placed in the same place in the strut tower holes...

BTW, shame on you, rusted bolts on the strut bar :smt063
