After a long weekend at Putnam Park Raceway in
Indiana, I realized that my hatch needed a far more aggressive
suspension. As great as it was on the street, it was severely
lacking on the track. I thought the
ground control setup made a nice mantle piece decoration, but my
wife didn't think so...that and the fact that I really wanted to use
them...moving along!
This picture represents everything that went
into the hatch during this upgrade.
- Omni Power front and rear camber kits
- New hood release
- New inner bushing mount for the front upper
arm
- ASR rear sub-frame brace
- Not shown is a new set of 16" Rota
Slipstreams
- Fast Idle Control Valve
I had ruined the front fenders the year before
so I ordered a pair of new fenders from Password JDM with JDM side
markers. Why not?
  
Front Omni Power camber kit
Rear Omni Power camber kit
ASR Rear lower sub-frame brace
 
Ground Control Springs, perches and upper
spring hats. 400 lbs in the front and 450lbs in the rear.
Not quite Cadillac ride quality, but what a difference!
No project is complete without a few seriously
lowered pictures for the fun of it!
   
Finally, all of the new parts are installed and the ride hieght has
been set.
Without a doubt, this was one of the best
series of upgrades that I could have done to my hatch! I spent
a weekend at Gingerman Raceway and was in awe of how amazingly the
car handled! Body roll was minimal even through the most
aggressive turns. I'm very happy with the outcome of this
upgrade!
