So my willwood prop valve turned up today

Really have NO idea how to plumb it all in after removing the ABS System.

If anyone knows or can draw me a diagram that'd be awesome :D

106Pete has fitted a biase valve as well as Rich from PAW. And I'm sure Rob (Nucleustylzlude) has probably done enough research to educate the entire Prelude community on how it's done, as he's removing his ABS and I imagine it's something he's definitely thought about.

I could guess at how it's done, but that's all I'd be doing at the moment.

Well I got my SSR's back from having a little polish up, taking some curb rash out and the tyres and valves mounted.

Soon as I got home I tried them on!

Front camber is more than enough:

How it should sit once on the floor:

And GOT POKE? lool I have no idea how to get more rear camber with the old suspension setup I have, But damn I need a few degrees!

Image



Am now sending the Superforma adapters back to get longer studs as the SSRs faces are 23mm thick! so that combined with the extended RAYS nuts I want to run then I'm having some 65mm studs fitted instead of the 25mm ones.

That looks frikin' awesome bud! :D 8) Love everything about it!

I've got the same issue with the rears on my Aerodeck. There's just enough camber from lowering the front that I can get away with it, but the backs still protrude almost 10mm! I've done two trips recently loaded up with a full set of tyred rims and cornering at speed didn't sound pretty :? I've currently got a few sets of adjustable rear camber arms saved in my ebay watch list which should give me up to 2 extra degrees in the right direction, so I imagine something simular exists for your lude ??? I've held off getting mine so far though as I'm getting some body work done towards the end of July, so I may look into getting my arches flared out subtly as well.
