Exactly. The SPC ball joints are crap, my first set only lasted a year before I had to replace them. I also have to redo my camber settings after every track weekend.

You seem to have a problem actually reading the threads that you decide to derail, so I'll quote myself back to you:

I dig your knowledge and reading your input ... but your people skills, well, kind of suck.

Well, didja come along before or after Baer383's posts disappeared from this thread? It looks funny now that his pearls of wisdom have been removed. In fact, whoever did that can feel free to remove mine from post #45 onward, now that the context is gone...

To clear up Baer's question...

The Doran ball joints don't use grease because they are manufacturer to much tighter tolerances than SPC or Kinetix. I don't know of any race teams that use greased ball joints simply because what they use doesn't have as much play in it as what is used for street driving.

That said, i'm not a mechanic.. on a race team.. or smart. So take my explanation with a grain of salt.

When can I get those toe arms. I need something ASAP

The stuff we had been working on... worked very well.
We are def close on the overall platform.
Are you running a true coilover in the rear?
The bad part in all this is that we have one week (this one) and then two back to back races ... And then a 2 day test in indy.
More than likely it will be July until we can get parts into production.

I look forward to anyone on this forum coming out with great new products. The problem seems to be the ones who hype it up and say its coming....... Well that day never comes. Just a quick fact about this forum. Boy I wish I could start a list.

There is a distinct difference between parts that exist and simply need manufacturing duplication vs parts that don't exist at all except in somebody's head or cad program. I have confidence that these will make it to market, but as a race team the priority is to their own success - as it should be.

SPOHN · 06-12-2012, 10:38 AM

^ I agree. Just wanted to stress the previous struggles.

Or the priority is getting Nissan and Nissan Motorsports a big fat W !
We def checked one item off the list... And believe me... To be in the pits and see #14 flash to the top... see mouths drop wide open from other teams... was a thing of absolute beauty. We had been setting up the car on old tires and knew that in quali trim it was gonna be competitive.... just didnt know how much tires were gonna improve the times.
It caught everybody of guard....
And now they know... we are coming and we want it.
Main issue now is... the next tow tracks benefit higher HP cara for sure.
Road America def fav the camaro and mustangs....
Watkins Glenn could fav us I the track gets greasy and slick.
Guess we shall see.... Test day at RA is next Wed so time is pretty short.
