So I completely forgot that I made this. I was doing so much research in the process of building the suspension for this car.

Yes we made the trailing arms and custom coils for the front. The arms turned out great. I did what dd-ardvark recommended and used a jig to make sure I did lose any of the alignments of the trailing arms.

I will say that I love how it worked out. I got all the drop I needed with no camber change. I love it. But if I were to make another set, I would got for a 3" drop instead of 4"

Here is how it came out for those that want to know.

Front Coils-


Rear Arms-


It was a learning experience for sure... can't wait to build some for my car!

Great work on the suspension, have you had it on a proper alignment rack to get numbers? Also, nice set of wheels you got there, just got a set myself

We have not had it on a rack yet. The ATS's are getting replaced with 16's with 205/50's. should give us another 1" of clearance under the frame head without actually raising the suspension. But yes, they are my favorite set of wheels!

We just recently found out the local tire kingdom has an I ground rack and really cool guys willing to work with lowered cars. So hopefully one the new wheels are on we can get it over there and get some readings.
