if enough people express interest in adjustable panhard and torque rods ipd said they would look into making them for 140's. they only differ from the 240 ones by acouple of inches. so they arn't that diferent from products they already make. so if you are interested in them please contact ipd and voice that interest. thanks

also they come with poly bushings so that would only leave the trailing arm bushings to get in poly.

I've expressed interest.. I could order them whenever available.. although it's going to be like 4-5 years before I'll get to use em.

And as Kyle said, post a pic of your car :)

Andrew

I am curious as to how you went about putting 17's on your 145. Did you use spacers? Whats the offset/backspacing and how well do they fill up the wheel wells? (I am not too fond of the massive empty wheel well look most tire/wheel combinations produce).

Thanks

Sweet! Does that have factory AC? Dang! Where'd you get the stainless brake lines? Did you have them made up? Can you get some pictures with the 17s on it? What wheels are they?

had AC 10 years ago. not anymore weighs to much. the ss brake lines used to be available from ipd. the 17's are racing dynamics they were origanly for a 240. i'll post some pics soon.

Well...... I'd love one, buuuuuut, i don't have the money or the need for one. Later in life(at least 4-5 years from now) I'd be in the market for one. I don't think the market is that high for something that isn't really needed by anyone but those with the highest standards or extreme lowering... Like me in the future, but monetary allowances just do not let me do it at the current time. =D

i wouldn't consider my car extremly lowered. 2" at most. but my pinion angle is off. so the adjustable torque rods would help. and the rear is slightly off centered. it makes it hard to fit 235's under the rear. were the panhard rod would be good. as far as price the $80 some for the set of t. rods and $80 some for the p. rod is way cheaper than i could build one of that quality for with bushings. hopfully there is enough interest so they are avalibale when you want them.

For that price, and if they were aluminum, which i'm assuming they would be, i'd be very interested in them. For some reason i was thinking they'd be more expensive... But yeah, for the weight savings, and the ability to adjust accurately the rear end would be something i would want.

235s!?! What'cha got in that thing? Any pictures of this car?

he means road noise. it is loader in the passenger compartment. but it feels nice.
