Bulletproof4age Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Just ordered my Cusco sways, front and rear. Question is, do you guys think its ok to run the RSB with the Autospeed RSB relocator bracket that I already have from my turbo-back? Or do I still need the AVO unit? Thanks
Bulletproof4age Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 Bump it up. My thinking is it will help it from twisting like I've seen happen, but wont prevent it from snapping off completely. Some thoughts please.
Bulletproof4age Posted April 25, 2008 Author Posted April 25, 2008 Thoughts folks? I have a track day May 9th. I want to make sure I'm prepared.
franklin Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I have the same set up. What is the fitment issue? If its the pipe itself I would just "adjust" the exhaust. If its something else?
Bulletproof4age Posted April 28, 2008 Author Posted April 28, 2008 Sorry. My question wasn't clear enough. I'm curious if the supplied Autospeed RSB re-locater bracket(which is intended to reposition the RSB to clear the Autospeed exhaust) is sufficient reinforcement for the RSB mounts. Does it work well enough to not need the AVO RSB reinforcement piece.
Bulletproof4age Posted April 30, 2008 Author Posted April 30, 2008 anyone?? Track day next Friday...trying to make sure I'm ready.
08specB Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 My .02. But, beefier is usually better IMHO. I have yet to go wrong with that frame of mind. My ONLY complaint about the Perrin (I know you want AVO) is that where it mounts to the body mount. It causes some chassis squeaks when it moves. Other than that, with the 25mm Perrin sways, I have no other complaints. Just a small suggestion, but try your current setup and see how it holds up. If you don't like it, then install the AVOs. Or bite the bullet and install the AVOs straight off. Hope this may help. If I had something important to say, I wouldn't tell you anyway.
Gmachine Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I think he doesn't want to risk breaking the current setup because that would involve some welding to repair. The Autospeed part may stiffen the factory bracket to some extent, but it's not AVO stiff. How close is the bar to the exhaust now? If you use the AVO and the Autospeed together,you have to take into account that the bar will be moved slightly rearward. Plus the larger Cusco bar will take some of that room also. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z87/HDCHUNG2/IMG_1969.jpg
