Oh yea, and here's the Voodoo Thirteen website, but no love till 12/12/13 Voodoo 13 - Coming Soon
We'll all have to wait, and see how much this is going to hurt some of our bank accounts, and what organs the rest of us are going to need to sell for a set.

This is actually good news. Someone else now is starting to make parts for the 370Z. :D

they are also releasing a camber arm, it says:

The CFR adjustable front upper arm has arrived!! The only arm to adjust camber and caster while remaining installed on the vehicle #cfr #voodoo13 #cnc #370z #nissan #drift #anglekit #madeintheusa #sema2013 #semashow

(They are 2nd to SPL !!!)

Some what similar to the SPL design.

G37sHKS 11-06-2013 01:17 PM

martin82 11-06-2013 01:37 PM

Not sure that I'd want this without some sort of similar arrangement in the back, but who knows?

Thanks for explanations.

Based on that it sort of begs the question what that 1" is worth in terms of lower CG, and if it would allow the max CG to be lower. I am guessing a big maybe. with 18" wheels and whatever appropriate tires, our cars can not really be lowered more than about 2" if you want to leave enough compression travel. Correct me if I am wrong.

So, if the spindle lowers our car an inch w no spring/height adjustment-that's good. BUT if our max lowering range is still 2", then the main benefit of this piece is going to be that the roll center will not drop as much which will give a shorter roll moment. 3" at max? Fine and dandy, but not sure that is a real "problem" with our car.

If it drops 50 lbs at the same time, gimme a price. :tup:

The stock parts are light to start with so I don't expect weight savings to be huge. Still a sexy piece. Need pricing.

Via Voodoo13; The talk of the show so far. Chris Forsberg CFR and VooDoo13 doing it big with the 370z angle kit at the SEMA Show.

Beefy spindle, tube lower arm, aluminum swaybar, stock upper arm. Wonder what shock that is?

GSS138 11-07-2013 12:19 PM

The purple collar denotes KW, probably their pro series. Hard to tell with the darth vader cape over it. Must be a license/marketing issue with showing it. or they are trying to get thme as a sponsor.

Mike 11-07-2013 01:58 PM

they told me probably somewhere in the ballpark of 2800 for the complete front setup, upper and lower arms and spindle.

Also, its retrofittable to the 350z. Will be a huge suspension geometry improvement for those guys.

I am betting that it's an aluminum end link/bracket with a steel bar (mounted to the bar via splines).

Aluminum isn't really up to the task of being a sway bar.

So what wheels/tyres are available. If you lift the spindle, and keep the FUCA outer pivot in the same space, then you have 1-inch less clearance at the top of the tyre, OR the outer FUCA pivot must be raised and the roll-cenre is displaced (unless the FUCA inner pivot is also raised.

The implication of lifting the spindle (by 1-inch) is that the overall radius of the tyre must reduce by a similar amount, which implies max OD of tyre is around 640mm (maybe 650mm)

Are there any details on this ??

Did ANYBODY else spot what appears to be a true torsion anti-roll bar up in there?!
