pagerart Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I am very happy with the handling since I installed the Fays2. Have any other users resolved the banging on the bottom when going after bumps in the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT2666 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Which frame did you use? Some of us got the short frame for the GT, I determined that the short frame was not needed and made proper setup a serious undertaking. There are a couple of issues that will cause clunking that I know of, one is the drivers side mounting bracket that sticks straight back, it can run into the exhaust above it if its set to high. Lowering that bracket is all about getting the propeller in the right position ie. lower. The initial instruction I got said to set the propeller to either 2 O'clock or 4 O'clock I don't recall now, but if you do that the control rods will crash into the propeller when the suspension compresses. I recommend no more then 10-12 degrees 4 O'clock is 30 degrees on the propeller. If you have the short frame call and talk to Jim at Fays2.

ShelbyPilot Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 +1, I changed out the short frame with the large frame and my bottom end clunks have gone away. I was 95% happy before because of the improved handling. I am now 100% satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 When I ordered mine, Jim said he was only shipping the long frame. That being said, I would think it may be what SGT2666 stated on the location of the axle mount location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagerart Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I remember when I ordered that I was supposed to get a different frame for this car. Don't know if it was shorter or longer, but it was not the "regular" one. I guess I better call Jim Fay and see what I got. I am not excited about having to do all that again.

The shorter frame only has three positions for the centerlink. The standard frame has six positions. I used the fourth position from the top on the standard frame. It gave me an 3/4 inch of clearance and allowed the centerlink to be position at less then 10 degrees, while keeping the control arms parallel to the axle.

pagerart Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I am pretty sure I only had three positions and had to use the bottom one to have enough room for the hardware. Sounds like I have some work to do. The shorter frame only has three positions for the centerlink. The standard frame has six positions. I used the fourth position from the top on the standard frame. It gave me an 3/4 inch of clearance and allowed the centerlink to be position at less then 10 degrees, while keeping the control arms parallel to the axle.
