Shocks and Battery

Here's a shot of ShockTek's latest and greatest - remote resevoir, double adjustable shocks. The shock is the black cylinder on the left. The blue bottle is the resevoir, and it is filled with oil and nitrogen. The stainless steel line connects the two together. The black circle is the upper shock mount, which uses a spherical bearing (instead of a nylon bushing) to locate the shock rod. The big bottle on the right is a bottle of nitrogen, used to charge the shock resevoir via a valve in the base of the canister (just like a tire)


Here's the resevoirs for the rear shocks, mounted in the car. They're attached to the upper strut tower brace with some zip ties. The red knob is the compression (bump) adjustment; the rebound ajustment is in the top of the shock rod.

This is the rear shock and spring, as seen through the rear wheel well. The line (and a retaining clip) are visible to the right.

Here's the battery in its new home in the back of the car. The smaller wire is for the fuel pump rewire. It's a Baker Precision sealed gel cell, it weighs 12lbs, and it has 30 more CCA than the stock battery. The mount is another product of our home shop.
