Haha that damn thing did take forever. That's why I'm not building a tire rack. It would be simpler because I wouldn't have to worry about every little measurement, but the other thing is cheap enough that I won't mess with it.
i meant that was erics vid not chris's up there - but if ya'll hadn't seen the gobstopper that is a crazy handful of vehicle/driver - awesome subie

Mike, just attach the picture to the post. That way, people that want to see a higher resolution can see it by clicking on it, and it only shows up in the thread as a thumbnail.
On a side note - buddy Cesar got to hang out with Nate Hamilton at the drift event this past saturday...
Also for some reason - I recently scored 3 installs.... All diff bushings..
I got one Friday too..lol and another next sat.. but next saturday - doing SIKKY subframe bushings, along with diff bushings..
Damn - I miss my little turnin wrench buddy Z-Ya...

JAKE - that is a tire warehouse -
Here is my forum secret - i'll share it with ya'll - I changed this forum for myself so no matter what pics are posted they show up as 800x600 and i click them if i want to see full size - so i never have to scroll and nobody has big pictures ever and i don't have to resize my own pictures - because like you said - they are HUGE - I went into my USER CP at the top left of this page and clicked, and on the left side menu under EDIT OPTIONS - then i scrolled down to the title - THREAD DISPLAY - and see the big pic below - i popluated the blanks with 800 x 600 - this made me happy - because every forum i go on has this enabled by default in one form or another - i was freaked out when this site didn't have it turned on automatically -
I tried to tell the site admin they need to ENABLE this feature by default and people can TURN it off if they want to - but nobody replied - and i don't guess its been turned on by default so you will have to do it yourself -
i've highlighed it here in this gigantic pic
awesome tire rack Jake - it actually earns the name tirerack haha

So until then, I did a little body roll test just to get an idea how much camber I am losing in a turn. Looks like a inch a body rise and a 1/2 inch of compression thru the full cycle. The 1 1/2 inches would be about 1.5 degress of body roll if your car width is 60 inches. the z is just a bit more than that.
This is with the Stillen bars at full stiff front and rear. (third position both ends). Front springs are 400lbs and rear is 429lbs. Cold RS3's so might get a bit more roll when the tires warm up.
With the softer sway bar setting I was running my camber at -2.8. With the bars stiffer it looks like I could get rid of some neg camber.

Jake those bushings are white line? I've never installed those. Only have put in solid. I have to pull a tn kit off a z and install on another z this wknd. Everyone loves boost. Lol
Thanks for the heads up, hadn't seen them. I talked to Z1 motorsports about there cat. They use the same cat in there's and it comes with new gaskets. I think for the money and piece of mind I am going to go with them. But first on the shopping list is new RS3's.
