i am taking out the rear suspension as we speak (tea break on the computer). i have to get the upper strut renforcements welded in, the rest of the cage masked off, new bushings in all of the rear suspension, then i am going to primer the inside and i will take pics after that.

anyone know if i can just use a DA hub for the rear to convert the rear to disc brakes? or do i need the whole trailing arm and everything off a DA?

 

[INJEN78]

need the whole setup from the DA..including ebrake cable(if you want that)

 

[kelsodeez]

okay next question, is the lower control arm, lower strut perch and trailing arm bushing the same size as the rex? i have all this stuff from energy and it would be a shame if i couldnt use it.

 

[97hatch]

i do believe that they are the same

 

[INJEN78]

yep.im pretty sure its the same part number..just cross referance the numbers from ES

see but my whole reasoning behind not doing the supercharger is because i relate to high revving engines alot better on the track than a low revving engine. i used to road race motorcycles and i love revving to the moon!! maybe ill buy another shell and a b18c and put the supercharger on that. i dunnoooo.

High end horsepower wins bragging rights, torque wins races. The JRSC will do both.

hahaha you guys are evil. maybe i will fit it up to the engine to see how it looks. if i stick with the supercharger, its going to delay my build because i dont have enough money for sophisticated engine management, injectors, new pulley belt, etc.
