One reason I got them was because SPL Parts is a sponsor and hooked us up with a good deal, and they come with the mate for Z32 aluminum uprights, vs the stock cast steel parts for the s13. we are probably going to run these for a year or two, but they will probably be well underdamped for VIR. We are planning on doing a few Northeast Hillclimbs and I think they will suit well for the uneven terrain that lies down those roads.
The gusset plates might not be nessicary but we cut the roof off and welded it back together to get the cage in, so we decided it was best if we support it in a few places, plus its that little bit of added rigidity between the chassis and the frame.
Looking forward to getting your impressions of the KTS's on this car. How has SPL been to work with?
The gussets make sense to me. Are they 16 gauge?
Also, who's 03SVT is that in the background? I miss mine like crazy!!
