Thread: MD Beam Bending Event

Damn I wish Steve could do P11s.

Come on guys, he only needs one more to make this work. Trust me, it is 110% the money, and it's practiclly a once in a life time thing. What Wes said is true: it is the #1 best thing you could ever do to your B14 to make the suspension worth a damn.

Good luck Kong.

This is like pulling teeth.

After driving my car for a few days (100 miles each day to work and back), I think I can explain how it feels.

Before the adjustment (mine had 1/8" toe-in), in a quick transition (like an X-way lane change) or an aggressive tight turn, I would turn the steering wheel and the rear of the car would take a small fraction of a second to decide to follow. I have had the car for 10 years and 322,000 miles, so I was used to this and did not think anything of it. Now, with zero toe the rear of the car follows the front immediately. There is no hesitation.

Also, on my way home from work, I drive a 180 degree, nearly constant left-hand radius uphill bridge. When the road is clear in front of me, it makes an excellent "skid pad". Before the adjustment, I could reach about 47 miles per hour and then the lateral G force would stabilize and the front tires would start to drift out. Last night I was at 49 miles per hour and the G force was still climbing with no hint of the tires letting go. I actually got nervous because I realized that I would be into the curb in a hurry if I hit any marbles or sand on the road. Can't do that anymore.

BTW, I have Hyperco springs and AGX's set at 3 front and 6 rear. Only the stock front sway bar (so far)

Seems like $200 is well worth a 5% increase in cornering speed. People spend much more then that for a 5% horsepower gain.

can i get the address of the place so i can see how far away it is because im thinking about doing this.

thanks

The event is taking place in Fallston, MD just north of Baltimore. If you are coming from North Jersey, it shouldn't take you more than 3.5 hours to get there.

alright cool i really think i want to do this if there are any spots left
