Dog bones:

Allow for rear toe adjustments which allow you to adjust how your car comes out of corners. It also allows you to adjust your thrust angle (I think. Fabryce, correct me if I'm wrong).

Here's a pic of mine. This is when I had Bilsteins (as my signature says, I run Motons now). The dogbones are what say "GMG" on them in the pic.

Trying to get the best handling for the buck, not too interested in the look, but the feel. This stuff is definitely addictive. Not ready to track yet, and before that I plan on DE.

Then the best solution is to put in the CO's, they cost the same to install as springs only but they give a big improvement in handling. I installed the sway bars at the same time and was charged less then an hour for that part. The other items (control arms) can be added later when you want to get more aggressive alignments. To start, you can remain with your stock parts and you will be more then fine.

DE's are on the track, it is a lot of fun, I have been to open lapping days, and DE's with instructors. I will always take an instructor in my car as we can always use a few tips.

Baby Doc, I have no doubt that you will be impressed with the improvement that this does for your car. I also have the front Strut Bar, it is a bit of a tight fit over the battery, but I am sure it will make a difference long term to the car.

Who did you buy the stuff from?

babymd, I am up in Tampa and do DE's at Sebring with PCA and Chin. I will be at Sebring again on Dec 13th Saturday. You should drive up and hang out and check it out. Lots of Porsche's and other cars. Contact me if you want some hot laps.

Will the dogbones help with axle hop since it helps adjust the thrust angle?
