I'll subscribe to check it out later on. Why are you parting out? For some reason I can't view that forum at work.

Change in priorities (family & cycling) means that I don't have time for serious Solo2 anymore. I'm keeping the car but don't need to have such hard-core performance parts mounted for daily driving.

I'm posting tomorrow pics of the wheels/tires mounted on my Zed.

Yeah it won't come up. Work computers are very finicky about what pages they display. For instance I can only access the last page of any thread by clicking "last post" otherwise I can't see the contents of any thread at work.

Sorry I didn't get back to this thread sooner. Here's the list:

•Tanabe chassis brace. Some scrapes on the mounting points (which is a bit lower than the cross bracing), but the important stuff is mechanically perfect $100 USD
•Avalon harness bar with G-Force 4 point belt, inside & outside eye bolts for driver & passenger (so one belt set could be used on either side). I'm also including a camcorder mount. I had the bar powered coated ‘sparkling silver’ to better match interior trimming $300 USD - SOLD
•Light Weight battery (lead acid I believe), mounting tray and WeaponR engine damper $ 100 USD
•Racing brake kit. Two piece slotted/convergent vane 13" rotor with zero warping and cracks. Kit uses OEM caliper with replacement (not intermediate) longer caliper braket. Excellent kit for those looking for improved heat capacity w/o the need to rebleed etc. OEM replacement calipers are also a lot less expensive to replace and less 'knock-back' issues with the pads. Also includes Porterfield R4 front pads with only 30 mintes of lapping (~90% pad left) and a couple of cans of ATE super blue brake fluid. $650 USD
•Koni SA dampers with Truechoice front coil-over conversion and revalved front dampers for the 500 lbs/in springs. Rear spring rate 427 lbs/in (OEM revised springs). Excellent suspension with great street manners and nice balance. Very close to the racing kit Truechoice sells. $800 USD
•5Zigen FN01R-C 17x10 25 offset with Nitto NT-01 275/40/17. Literally only 30 miles on the rims/tires to make sure it was balanced etc. Awesome tires $1200 USD
•Cusco Adjustable A-arms. Same paint flaked off near the ball joint of the upper arm but otherwise mechanically perfect condition. $200 USD
•Cusco RS LSD 60% lock-up includes 1.5 quarts of Redline. Awesome diff with no perceptable noise and nice linear lock-up. $650 USD

Bump.

Suspension, Diff, and brakes are still available.

It took me years and lots of dollars to get the perfect setup. For the price I'm offering, you Canadians should be all over this stuff (I know I would have been).

The suspension is the first real performance suspension that actually works on our brutal Cdn roads. You don't have to get beaten up AND have performance...

Any of you who are pushing your car can feel the viscous LSD weakness with inside tire spin. The Cusco unit is a huge improvement (about 1 second per minute) and new costs about $1,000USD plus wait time. I've got a perfectly functional unit for 60% of that and shipping will be much cheaper.

As for the brakes, if you don't have Brembo or some other expensive aftermarket setup, you shouldn't be lapping. Eventually you'll push the non-Brembo brakes too hard and it will cost you. This setup is easily the most affordable you can get that actually works. Super quick installion w/o bleeding issues or change in pedal feel.

If you're about the bite, and not the bark, this stuff is for you.
