Finally got my butt in gear and put it all on the car. The parts had just been sitting on my bench for toooooooooooo long.
Installed.
1995 ABY S2 coupe 5X112 hub carriers and hubs. Stock strut mounting holes reamed from 12mm to 14mm to fit the hub carriers. New bearings installed.
A8 323X30 front cad plated slotted vented rotors.
Porsche 996 big black calipers.
RS2 caliper brackets.
Wood Garage made hard brakes lines for the Porsche calipers.
Corrado 280X22 Ate vented rotors, center bored and drilled for 5X112 for the rear.
S8 rear caliper carriers with rear UrS6 calipers.
HR MC114 camber bolts on all for corners with an extra 1 degree of camber added.
Used old school wheels AAvantgarde spoke wheels 17X8 ET 35. One does have a little curb rash.
The tires are used Pirelli 225X45 Plus zeros. I figure I will wear them out before replacing them.
Extra items for the car.
A set of NuS4 wheels and tires.
A3 rear rotors plated and slotted for the rear for when the used Corrado rotors wear out.
Went for a little drive to make sure everything worked and nothing was going to fall off. Wow. A little more pedal travel, but I am pushing more fluid with the larger capacity of the Porsche and UrS6 calipers. But this just makes for better heel and toe, as now the brake and gas pedal are a little more even.
The car will take a little getting used to again. It has better turn in, because of the lower profile tires and more camber.
After I ran the car for about 15 minutes slowly in an industrial area, to make sure the brakes keep working, I went for the freeway.
Did I ever tell you I love onramps and offramp?. The car handles more like glue than it did before.
I also figured I got a kill tonight while I was out. Did I tell you I love playing with guys riding hot bikes.
I was getting off a highway offramp that is two lanes wide with a 1/8 mile straight with a 90 degree drop down sweeper at the end on to the surface street. About halfway through the straight, a Honda pocket rocket passes between me and another car I was passing. I dropped down a gear, we passed two cars in the outside lane of the off ramp, but alas I had to back off before I ran over the top of him. Fun
Now for a little alignment check and I am ready for the mountain roads again.
