- In this episode we talk about the rear components of the corvette. Watch as they get welded, assembled and installed. We also dive into all the specs of the rear kit as well as strength test some front uppers.

Bro the Heim joint socket wtf. 🤯
Love the rear arm and upright design, great fix. The serviceability and manufacturability are the things dreams are made of.
this man is such a genius its unbelievable. I aspire to someday have half the knowledge this guy does
Wow🤯 that suspension is amazing!
Would be cool to see durability test of factory parts to go up against FDF parts in the future!
Also loving what your doing for the C6 chassis. Seeing some nice touches that would be applicable for street driving/road racing as well~
Really cool, hopefully some more upper control arms for other makes in the future? Jack & editing team: epic. Would the rear corvette suspension shown in this video be good for Drag racing also? The zero camber gain is interesting. It looks like you still have the ability to adjust the LCA length in case you want some camber gain?
you should design ball joints for dodge trucks that dont need to be replaced with every oil change!
I understand the Willwood brake choice but, the lightest and arguably best performing brake choice is TBM Brakes.
I am impressed, but can you set this up for superior grip racing use? Improve upon the corvette to be more mechanically grippy, precise, compliant to road irregularities, etc... not drifting but grip racing.
So how do I get one of these rear kits 🤔. I'll be waiting keep up the good work.
i want air jacks so bad in my street car i just have no idea where to route anything with the stock interior lol
The idea of reducing anti squat is to improve smoother control on bank tracks?
In a sense. You can have to much and too little antisquat. Best to have the option of adjusting. Throttle input, track conditions, speed of the track etc etc all determine how antisquat will help or hinder you
RX8s and NCs have the same issue in the back with stubby stupid shocks. Have you seen that shit? The damper gets stuffed up into this crazy like, condom looking top hat thing and the spring is only like 5 inches long.
I’ve seen it ya, it’s annoying I can’t just weld a tall tower about it haha
Which alloy of steel do you favor? Are you claiming 4x yield or ultimate tensile strength? Is this alloy sensitive to heat input?
Why did you not triangulate the back stays or cross brace?
The 3/8" thick brake rotor appears to be very low thermal capacity. So thin. Are those few oz saved worth sacrificing the durability of a vented rotor?
Somehow you think you know more? Where's your one off design? Its a fvcking drift car, not a time attack car. Barely on the brakes and a long circuit would be 60 seconds, followed by a cool down period of minutes, before they would see any more use. Funny how you put all that thought into your comment and got nothing in return 😂😂
Do you think it would be possible to make an anti squat bracket for the SC/Supra?
I see that you’re setting it up in the “lowest bolt hole” position which I believe to be the lowest “anti squat” percentage or “most squat” position (correct me if I’m wrong). Where would increasing squat be an advantage? Wouldn’t the car react smoother/quicker with higher max grip levels at the higher anti squat percentage position putting that force into the arms/tires rather than the coilovers? This comment is to learn not try and prove anything wrong. Thanks!
looks like the rear was turning in and out as you went up and down is that any good?
what kind of steel are the control arms made of?
I wish is300 boys had variable anti-squat solution.
👍
Did you study engineering or is this something you taught yourself?
I notice you are running two masters for your foot brakes. What is your reasoning for not using a proportional valve on the rear brakes and running inline like Chelsea Denofa? The hated debate. 🍿
2 masters is just separating the front from the rear. So I can setup a mechanical bias bar between then. I still use a proportioning valve, and The rear could be run inline with only 1 set of calipers but I just prefer dual.
@@FDFraceshop why do you think some people like running it inline like that. Simplicity?
@@LocksleyLennoxfilms yes, to them it may not seem necessary. I don’t like how the handbrake can back feed pressure to the foot brake, or “line lock” the rear while using it. I just prefer it separate but it could also be because inline is cheaper. All in all they both work well
@@FDFraceshop the reason I asked is because I thought the inline method with a pedal box/ dual foot brake masters would prevent the line lock issues if you use the bias valve accordingly.
@@LocksleyLennoxfilms it separates and keeps the front brakes usable but it will still prevent the rear foot brake master from compressing. and it will change how the fronts respond.
