Slammed68 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Just looking to see some pictures of some of you guys' suspension setups.

starfishdata Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Nice Install Auxilary, Did TTT give you a discount for getting the TC, LCarms, and coilovers together. How hard was it to install them? Its something ive been looking into and was wondering if it could be knocked out in a few hours or if its a weekender. Oh and whats that black mount at the top of your first pic?

Slammed68 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 That is the infamous Ron Tyler (RTz) Differential mount - I also just got my hands on one Nice piece man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its something ive been looking into and was wondering if it could be knocked out in a few hours or if its a weekender. Oh and whats that black mount at the top of your first pic? that's the ron tyler rear diff mount. it's a bracket that goes over the top of your differential carrier's nose, attaches to it with a gm transmission mount. Eliminates torn mounts and differential movement. I only got the TC rods from TTT. coilovers are ground control with different springs. The control arms were made by Mikelly (thanks Mike!). Install can be done in a day, if y ou're handy with a welder. To install coilovers, the spring perches on strut housings must be ground down, and new rings welded on to support the sleeves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfishdata Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yea i reconized those unmistakably beefy tc rods. Those control arms look like some quality fab work. I'll have to do a search on that diff mount and the lca's. Do the GM diff mounts bolt right up and match up with the RTz diff hangar in the stock location?

auxilary Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 the R/T mount goes in the place where the strap used to be that held the differential from hte top. There are 3 bolt holes on each side, so that's how it mounts up. the GM universal transmission mount goes between the diff and the r/t mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the GM mount still gives a little so no clunking around back there. I'll have to look into getting one when I do my rear suspension.

auxilary Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Many of us opted for the polyurethane transmission mount, so there's a good compromise. I haven't driven my own car with this setup yet, but I've driven capt_furious's Z with this, and the rear just sticks. there's no more wandering or clunking at all. In this setup, you have the stock mount on bottom, and a good setup on top. Much better than the silly strap that came from the factory This is the piece, $22 from summit, by energy suspension: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ENS-3-1108G/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
