So I was going to "like" this post then I realized I didn't want to like you having a heart attack. Yay social media .

More product pictures would be awesome.

Hey Ian, can you measure the clearance between your OZ Wheels and the Stock caliper. I am really considering picking up these wheels, but I have the Wilwood brake kit. I want to make sure that these will clear my setup. Also where can I get one of those suction bike mounts?

I'll see if I can get those mounted up again and take a measurement. YOu can buy the SeaSuckers direct at seasucker.com

New year, new bike, new updates! I've swapped back on the red Team Dynamics wheels from Perfect Circle Autosport. Other than that, no real changes, just been loving the car! I still have my green Ibis Ripley bike pictured above, but recently built up this fully rigid steel single speed with a Niner SIR9 frame. Really fun with some big 2.35" tires!

Definitely firmer than stock, but rides great and performs well. A bit bouncier in specific circumstances as well.

Pure beauty of a car. Would love to see more updates

Thanks! Haven't done many mods lately, but I post pretty frequently on my Instagram: ianatcobb

Certain sections of freeway were bouncy (car would move up and down over and over) on the stock suspension and now its a bit worse in those same spots on the COBB springs. Otherwise, they are great.

Hmmm must be the shite rebound rates from the dampers. That worries me greatly given that Cincinnati has some terrible bumps and ridges on its highways especially hitting joints on overpasses. Does that ring a bell at all?

 

[COBB Tuning1]

Probably damper related, yes. Its not really bumps and joints, its just sections of freeway that are undulating. It's rare, but does happen.

[SpooledUpST]

Hmmm strange. Oh well gotta deal with the trade off until i can afford a proper suspension setup. Thanks for the info, Ian! And keep modding your FiST! Perhaps try the DHM EFR and see where COBB can take it!

 

[COBB Tuning1]

Some new mods! I got some BC Coilovers and RallyArmor mud flaps. Here's some install pictures. I'll have some nicer photoshoot pictures soon!

Toys in boxes.
