Attached photos of the rolling chasss with suspension, steering and brakes installed. Note that some of the fasteners are not the final units, just some quick temporary hardware to get it rolling for a show on the weekend.

We have incorporated the following features:
  • Height adjustment of 20mm lower by swapping to higher mounting hole for suspension arms, steering rack & swapping push rods. Fine ride height adjustment via pushrods.
  • Bolt on suspension mounting brackets allow easy customisation of suspension geometry.
  • Pictured is suspension & brake package for 17" and larger wheels. We do a different suspension and brake package for 15" wheels.
  • Pushrod setup has many, many advantages, one of which is that we can utilise much longer shock travel, 1:1 ratio with 17" long shocks.
  • Our wheel track enables us to bolt on all the great value off-the-shelf pin drive wheels and also support 5 bolt wheels as well.
  • Steering spline is common international size so you can use any steering wheel & boss combo
  • Rear suspension is sealed off from the boot with rubber boots on pushrods etc. So bell cranks and shocks are visible in the boot. Have a removable luggage cover for suspenion if required, otherwise open your boot and show-off the pushrod suspension.
  • Shock adjustment will be at the top of the shock so easy to adjust front and rear without getting under the car.
  • Camber adjustment by shims on upright.
  • And much more...

Brakes are standard fitment items, Brembo 4 piston calipers front and rear with 348mm rotors. Rotors are slotted & dimpled.

We have option of even lighter suspension setup. Additional milling on arms & uprights, even lighter 2-piece rotors, Brembo 6 piston monoblock calipers etc.



Will be back soon with photos of the body fitted.
