Fast Cars IFS

[Donunder]

Well three months have passed since having my Arntz registered and it's fair to say I'm really enjoying the ownership experience. The only down side to date has been the ferocious weather we've been having here in Queensland with the widespread flooding, the incredible heat and the fierce tropical cyclone, all combining to ensure the Arntz remains tucked away in the garage for more time than I'd like.

Anyway ... it's now time to get on with ordering the uprated IFS from Fast Cars. My son had made initial contact with Ted at Fast Cars, mainly to inquire about the possibility of fitting larger rotors. I believe that the installation of the uprated front end is worthwhile and probably essential considering my car's age and I'm hoping to have as much information ready to go before I lock in my order.

As part of my research I’m asking any owners who have carried out this modification to please help me with the following:

Did Ted recommend using a front sway bar?
If so, did you buy it from Fast Cars?

Did you corner weight your car to determine a spring rate, or did Ted ask you information about your engine combination (iron or alloy heads & manifold etc)?

What weight coils did you go with?

Did you choose or request any options other than what's offered at the $3825price?

Was there an option to have the unit painted / powder-coated, or did it come bare?

Would you change anything if you were ordering it now?


Thanks for any assistance.
