We had a couple different set backs. Production, market, and just too busy. I have seen a huge growth in the C4 market in the past few years. They are great cars!!! To this day I still think the best track car is the 1989, some call me old fashin. The cars were tuff and worked well out of the box. We get soo many phone calls saying thanks for supporting the C4s. Sow e brought these back into production and will be making other new parts in the future.

@jdc
Nice car!!! How is it lowered? Coilover?
@Randy
can you tell me, when the next brackets (both camber and trailing) are available? And how much would be the shipping to germany (zip code 04539)?
Thanks a lot!

Rico

Unless I missed the post explaining the difference in geometry between these parts and the factory parts, can you tell me what the changes are?

he gave a general overview of the benefits of the two sets of brackets.
Trailing and camber rod brackets, gauging interest
I do not recall anyone ever posting what the details of the changes
entail (geometry, precision measurements). My vote is that since this
amounts to someone's Intellectual Property, the details ought not be
displayed in the public domain unless the vendor chooses to do so.

In Randy's initial post (1/24) asking for expressions of interest
he gave a general overview of the benefits of the two sets of brackets.

Note that (2.5 years later) I still await 'Randy's' answer to the question posed -
'Doug' must still be busy at the Dyno.
The trailing arm brackets move the SVSA out and down, as stated.
The camber brackets bring the camber rods more parallel to the half-shafts.
IIRC, that lowered the roll-center some.
Note that moving the upper front control arm location can also pull some of the
anti-dive out of the front suspension.
Depending on how the car is used, all can be seen as 'improvements' to the factory
layout. YMMV, caveat emptor, etc.
have fun
