Arrow DIY Day in San Diego, CA (ROW M030 install)

I am slated to get my new ROW MO3O suspension by next Friday 07/15/05 and am interested in getting a group of guys together to see if we can tackle the install on maybe Sunday the 17th or possibly the following weekend (22-23rd). With a couple of guys it should go fast as I have very detailed instructions from Loren on Renntech.org ***pictures included.

I will be happy to supply food and beverages for those who are interested in helping out. . . Also of note I curently ive in a condo/townhome community so we may want to move the venue to maybe someone's house as well.

Paul

sounds like a lot of work, i would take it to Lucent

and have them laser align your car later.
it's not worth the extra work , especially suspension.


Oil change maybe, but suspension ....

it's not that bad - I did it a couple of months back and it took about 5-6 hrs. I somehow put it back together without my allignment being that far off. In fact, when I did get it alligned a few days later, it was barely out of spec.

My suggestion though is to get it alligned at a shop where they prep other race cars and the allignment guy actually knows what he is doing rather than just following instructions. They had me sit in the car with a full tank of gas and alligned it according to what I was looking for - decent cornering with minimal tire wear.

He said the factory allignment settings for ROW M030 were VERY understated. Actually he used the term *****

Porsche made a mistake and sent Suncoast two front sway bars in my kit instead of one front and one back. Rick or Noel is supposed to call me later today to see if they can get it shipped to me by the weekend. If not I may have to put it off a week. Bummer is I had 2-3 guys all lined up to help out so we could get it done faster.
