The Suspension Thread

[AJ]

FTO feels like a new car. It handled really well today, but the brakes let me down too early on in the fun stuff. I'm still nervous about pushing harder due to having crappy suspension for so long. I've taken a few corners I know well it's amazing how much quicker it can go through them now. Well worth the money. Looking forward to the brake upgrade next...

Thought I'd add these in as I put a set on Kaz's car the other day.

King Super Low spring part numbers:
Front - KCFL-36GSR
Rears - KCRL-46

Here's a neat upgrade to stiffen the rear of your FTO up

Use the EVO I,II or III rear trailing arms. The Evo versions are almost identical to ours, however they have a plate welded over the base of the arm to stop it flexing.

They are a direct replacement for GPX & GPvR. You will also fit the GR, however, you will need to either change to Mitsubishi GTO droplinks, or change to a GPX / GPvR swaybar. Personally I'd go for the GPX/GPvR swaybar as its thicker than the standard GR unit. I've already upgraded my GR swaybar to a thicker whiteline unit, so will need the GTO droplinks.

The part numbers are LH - MR197609, RH - MR197610

Here's a standard FTO arm:



Here's the EVO arm:



Here's the GTO droplinks:



GTO droplink part numbers:

hey there ben, after a little incident my drivers side rear wheel has more positive camber than the other side. what wouldve bent? the trailing arm? my mechanic tried fiddling around to bring it back like the other side but the adjustments didnt do much. what does it sound like i have to replace?

[vipfto]

bent strut, one of the rear arms usually the cause of that

[Valandis91]

Just got a price on these they are at this time $300 + postage or free pickup.
I will see if I can get a better price for a GB.
BUT the big thing is to see if they fit and work on the FTO's befor any one gets them
