Re: My S14 Drift Car Build Thread (soon to be littered with media content)
Today was the day the s14 ls1 was goin to be on the ground no matter what. Even thought we are having one hell of a winter snow storm that wasnt going to stop me. I fired up the garage heaters and went to work. I got all four corners installed today and tried to set ride height. The rear will go super low and still have enought adjustment for the lower control arms to be parallel with the ground. The front still needs a smaller spring to get the stance we want. Everything is going on smooth with only a few spots that had to get grinded down.
What it looks like outside?
Full shots back on the ground. Front ride height is not set, but you can tell how much more the new tub modifications will allow this car to go.
This is going to be one bad bitch. on the back ground you can see razmus car which is also getting to Re_specGarage love. We are putting a jungle gym inside his car.....lol
Insert LSJUAN!!!
Lower control arm mods to hopefully fix the suspension geometry. Im not an engineer, but it looks like its going to work. It uses a momo ball housing welded to the oem LCA's. We also inserted a spherical bearing to work with a GM ball joint stud. Lots off reasearch went into this to make it work.
Lower control arm angle at this ride height. The new ball joint set up will allow us to adjust the level of the LCA when we decided what the final ride height will be. I know the tire is on the wrong side....
For you west coast hellaflush cats. The east coast knows a little bit about fitment.
The rear still needs to be adjusted at the ball joint. As you can see on a lowered 240 the lca is pointing up. With the GM ball joint and some spacers we will solve that problem. Now you will be able to ride super low and have your LCA in stock location. The rear got some love from Fortune auto s14 coilovers with z32 mounts to fit the z32 rear spindles. If you want great service hit them up. Also a set of spl rear upper camber arms, PBM solid spacers and ofcourse all my attention to detail and mods.
Last picture will be the super angle this car will be getting. I need to run down to lowes tomorrow to see if I can find a bolt and a few spacers to make the tierods work.

Awesome work! That front lca setup is quite nice. Obviously a lot of original thought went into this build. Great work man!
