Obioban's 2005 IR/IR Coupe

Springs are now...
375...350
700...650

FCM is doing the works on my dampers.

I’m interested to hear your review with that particular setup. When I ran 336/350 F and 675/700 R on FCM elite dampers, I was getting a bad oscillation front to rear over bumps. It was so bad that I had to lower the rear spring rates and ended up reverting back to 500# TCKs I had. I think I could go a bit higher in the rear but haven’t experimented any further.

[Obioban]

Do you end up changing you spring rates? What did you decide in with the new FCM dampers?

Time for a large project.

Wavetrac diff (stock ratio, because I hate more aggressive diffs) and diff rebuild (seals and bearings)
CMP subframe bushings
Monoball adjustable rear lower control arms
vincebar
Slonik rear plate
... and sort of related, the FCM rear shocks and spring are part of this as well (front, too, obviously)

Are those the GC adjustable rear lower control arms with the sealed monoball?

[SteelGreyM]

You are gonna love those CMP bushings. Looks awesome!

Looks good Ian! (The pics I can actually see anyway :P)

After a few years and a few track events with those seats, what is your verdict on them?

I don't think there's a better seat made for a dual purpose (street and track) car.

3 back to back track events left my car looking pretty dirty...




... but she still looked pretty good from a distance.

I can´t see 99% of the pics at 1st and 2nd pages... Anyway I´m enjoying the journal, bravo!

Annoying... another image host lost

I'm feeling really dumb about this-- I really don't know how I missed that FCP sells the DS11s in these sizes! Never would I intentionally choose a "hybrid" pad, if I knew a track pad exists.

$400 flushed down the toilet...

If it makes you feel better, their catalog has DS2500 much more widely available than DS1.11s. I only saw the DS1.11 when I was browsing for the 997 at one point.

[Obioban]

OK, you're pretty well read on most subjects, So what am I missing here?

When I plug in a 2002 porsche 911 into FCP's website, I get both the DS2500 and DS11's. A few months back you could get Hawk DTC 60 or 70 for the 911, but I don't see those offered any longer, weird.

is a 2002 911 Carrera the wrong car to find parts for the 996 brembo upgrade?


DS2500 is a hybrid street/track compound, if they were trying to slow you down on nitto's, no wonder they didn't last!

I know it’s been a while. But do you remember the mount you used to relocate the battery to the engine bay?

Made my own.
