Hi Guys,
Here's a couple mods I did to the GT5 R to make life a bit easier. The fist picture is showing the jam nuts I put on the droop/limit screws, this is a must have or you'll loose them. The next pictures are the rear bulkhead which I drilled through so that servicing the shocks doesn't require removing all the front end parts. Now the upper shock shaft just slides right out. I secure the shafts with set screws since the threaded holes were already there.
While I was at it I replaced all the grub screws on the car with stainless cap heads, no more stripped heads from the tiny hex keys. I also cut the springs down to 60mm so I could adjust the suspension, that made a big difference and is highly recommended.
Paul.
