Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
ah crap... its the CPP subframe kit. that's kinda crucial info to have isn't it...
Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
I have looked into them to the point of judging from afar and I like the design. I would need to have one to play with to really know.
You will need an engineer to sign off so check with them/one before you purchase.

I will someday think of something clever to say.
Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
Thought about TCP Ronin.
"The simple answer is, even if I have decided I still don't know what to do."
Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
yeah, just weighing up options. Not that Ill be purchasing anything anytime soon - well until the dollar gets back up to a some what reasonable level...
What are you running cage?

TCP but I don't have the car on the road yet so can't comment on the ride. Certainly looks the good though.
The dollar is gone mate for a long time. It will keep going down for a while now and will settle.

Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
Does the TCP stuff need to be engineered at all?
Yeah, I guess its more just the shipping costs on top of the parts that bugs me. Could always check out the RRS stuff....

Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
Yes the TCP needs engineering as far as I know. Have heard mixed reports about the RRS gear but I am certainly no expert. soc123_au knows a bit about it.

Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
Sorry Boof, missed your reply there.
This is something that I'd like to do by probably Jan next year, so there's a lot of time to do some solid research.
Hell, might even just go down the "well tuned stock" route ala Street or Track.

Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
The reason I was attracted to them is
1) the elimination of the struct rod
2) bottom arm can be located to help with dynamic camber
3) relatively easy to install.
That kit satisfies all of the above.
As far as engineering, yes TCP needs to be engineered as well.
BTW: I am with Cage I expect the US dollar to keep getting stronger so try to get major items sooner than later.

Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
Too bad we can't get parts from Europe. You watch the Euro crash soon if country's like Greece start to back out
Maybe we can start to look at some Euro spec cars Boof.

Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
Wonder if there's any parts shops in Europe.... GOOGLE!!!
Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
Euro specs cars - yes good idea. Easier for us in some ways as RHD is relatively common in various countries.
I agree Euro will keep going down so you never know where the best opportunities will be.
Another to look at is Ridetech

It relocated most of the suspension points to get the right set up which is great. Not sure I like all of the design choices though. Having said that I am sure this would be a better set up as far as the driver was concerned.
My no 1 at this stage is DS setup.

Having said all of the above you can get the stock setup to work quite well with a few tweaks (for a lot less money than the above offerings).

Re: CPP Sub-Frame Kit
have a look at the Mike Maier Inc suspension also. Ticks my boxes.
