SPL install tips

[Thraxbert]

I'm lowered with springs on a full SPL setup, and getting chassis codes from the FLCA ride height sensor. :/ The sensor arm is at the proper angle with the arm pointing downwards at the "elbow" joint, but the new mount point that sits on the threaded end of the FLCA must not be quite right. So the overall angle of the arm going into the sensor must not be quite right.

I can and will screw around with it but the chassis code is intermittent. Has anyone had this issue, and has a fix to recommend?

How to install SPL parts:

Step 1: take product out of package
Step 2: put product in trash

Been through so many trash bearings on them. Can’t wait to get rid of all of them.

Yeah if i was to have my time again i would use verkline, why basically they have larger spherical joints then SPL (not all components though).
The main issues i have are the FLCA and the issues that SPL have even noted them selves, look at verkline sphericals compared to SPL it really does effect how much angle you can get safely with out the sphericals going out of range and the tie rod ends move from the locked settings due to the stupid alloy locking screws which can only be torqued to 16NM.

Im sure if SPL went back to the drawing board and updated their products to be more durable for race applications they they would be on the money again, I can not complain about their customer service though as they have helped me out and replaced parts free of charge including shipping to sunny olde OZ at no cost to me, just missed race meets waiting for the snail mail to arrive.

Dont get me wrong they still do the job but there are better components available.



my 2 cents

Cheers

Bloke,

Have you corrected your roll centre?

Yes. No bump steer.

Yes. No bump steer.

Bump steer and roll centre are different, although you generally make the same adjustment to tie rod ends as you have to roll centre they are still different.

I just finished installing the geometry parts for my supra build , Could someone guide me why the front swaybar is rubbing on the SPL lower control arm ?

That is what they do unfortunatly. You either have to cut off the 3rd hole on the sway bar for clearance or go back to OEM LCA. Verkline LCA has a bit more clearance compared to the SPL LCA's.

Also, be careful with your endlink, you look like you have the threads wayyyyy too far extended.

Take your adjustable end links to full short, then adjust swaybar pre-load to neutral.
