This classic GT silver is actually coming back to complete the 690R upgrade (intercoolers etc...) but for now she's got the milltek, evo headers GIAC switching programs and the Tech Art PASM coil over kit. The lowered stance is actually very close the the GT3RS ride height as you can see from the pix. I know there has been a lot of talk about the "problematic" and "adverse" handling on these cars both on here and in magazines but I really think we're seeing a lot of improvements. The bounciness associated when turning the "sport" button on is virtually gone. The rear-end doesn't float around as much through turns. I'd still like to do more work ont he rear-end of these and this car is coming back for some beeifer tech art sway bars. I'm still making sure that folks interested in better handling/performance (not to mention with more power) stick to 19s hence the HRE-C21s (the weight savings are pretty neat too). I don't want people running around on double-deuces with 640hp

 

That last shot is the money.

 

looks great Alex! what alignment specs are you running on these coilover cars?

 

I'll get you those- it's lowered to RS specs but obviously the alignment is _NOT_ the same. You can ask Mooty but we have our friend Tony @ TC Design (best race shop in the bay) working and re-working it. They want to make a bump-steer kit still for the rear

 

HOT!!!!!

 

the car doesnt look very dropped at all

 

Looks great! Those wheels dont look 19s till you get a closer look! Great JOB!

 

Nice!

Cant wait for my TA sway bars

 

well it is cooperless. Here's a couple more shots of other cars with PASM Tech Art kits. I'll show you stock ride heights as well.

This is the same car with stock ride height (look at the gaps):


And here's another 690R car with the same PASM coil over kit and dropped

 

this picture shows a white one lowered vs a stocker (grey)

 

and again.. "stock ride height" here

 

and then lowered again:


One thing is we're starting out with Tech Art's own "recommended" ride height settings since that's how they've been optimized. It happens to be very close to GT3RS ride height specs but obviously we don't just _slam_ cars around here for the sake of it We want to be able to drive them and have suspenstion travel too...

 

alex, your shop is close to tony's. you park your RS there, he does bump steer kit and figure out how to kill pasm, stuff the motons on.... then i'll drive it. if good.... damn... i'll go bankrupt.

 

thanks alex!!! now those are better money shots!!! nicely done mate!

 

*** end on the first 997tt seems high.
