datzenmike Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Jess, you'll love the brakes. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Soo much winning! No rubs at all!? there is a tiny bit of rub right now, but the new tires are not on yet. Those should happen today, so once they are on we can readjust the suspension to final ride height :D Jess, you'll love the brakes. once she can actually drive it then we will know :) cant drive it hard till the new front tires are on Quote Link to comment
Spoona_Jay21 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Great progress! glad to see this thing goin low finally! (no more 4x4 status....) Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 time for new front tires got way more clearance for the perch now and here it sits on its new shoes Quote Link to comment

Jassifrass Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 175 55 for the front. It may be 165 but I'll have to check 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Ill fix the pics when I get home.... But here's some from today! Cars n coffee in Vancouver Not a bad turn out either! Then we made the trek from the couve to Olympia to see Jrock about some powder..... (No pics were taken for the safety of all involved) Then we hit up teddy for a bit to snag some parts to help in my KA swap All in we did about 300 miles on the goon, it didn't miss a beat! Well....... It kinda missed a beat when it blew the hose clamp off a coolant bypass line.... (Ended up being a road side fix :D but again no pics cus of passing cars...) In the end. I'm really happy with the new brakes and suspension!!!! I wanna give a special thank you to mike Klotz for masterminding the brake swap! It's spot on and fully tested now! Well Well worth it! And I wanna thank Redbanner! Serious amount of knowledge and experience - not to mention he had a set of already shortened strut tubes :D 3 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Sweet! It looks sooooo much better now!!! I'm glad to hear that the brakes actually work :) 3 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 they work great mike, even on the first test drive with some air still left in the lines they worked better than the failing stock ones Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 love the way the goon handles now, corners that were 35MPH corners previously due to body roll are now 50MPH corners no prob!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 just some pics for the sake of pics 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I know, it's freakin awesome isn't it? The side ways G force is addicting as hell. Last Canby I came down the twisty coast and had a pos chebby truck behind me. Doing the posted speed limit. When the road signs cautioned to make turns at 35 instead of 50 I would just plough into them with him on my ass. He had to really hold on and hit the brakes or go into the other lane... and I would just zoom out the other side. Fuckin awesome!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Abe Froman Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Are you going to lower the rear when you re-bush the leaf springs ? 1 Quote Link to comment
