Looking good!!! Do you guys use standard or metric hardware?

I see the bottom bracket of the coilover is very low. How does it look with the wheel/brake combination assembled on it? how much ground clearance is there with a standard 640mm o/a dia wheel and tyre on?

I thought the same thing the first time I looked at it, then the engineer pointed out the fact that it is in line with the spindle. This means that anything that goes under the wheel will lift the suspension the same amount.

Here is a picture of the Speedwell oval with 17 inch wheels and a 195/40 tyre.

Thank you for the kind words.

All of the gold hardware is 1/2 standard because getting metric in our area from the local bolts houses is super hard . I would prefer to use all metric. We do you metric on the sway bar and rack mounts.

Hi

I'll put one of these units in list of things I need when rich.

Do you have any photos of how it attaches the super bug frame head? Just curious.

PS Beautiful work

Both Lanner and Kevin makes great stuff~!... plus they were really cool with the tons of questions I have.. kudos to both of them..
Will be putting together the front end and brakes soon.. will try to post some pics when I finally put em together

[SuperRSi]

Lanner can your hub set up for the Mendeola work with the 996TT brakes? I would like to buy the Mendeola front and rear and use the big brakes.

Kevin give me a call and let me know how far until you are ready for your kit. Can we buy your suspension without hubs and buy the Lanner units? I need to get the suspension on in the next month.

Thanks Guys

Our kits are for sale without front and rear brakes. Cost for complete front and rear kits are $5700usd.

Yeah,
I can set it up for anything basically. IMHO, that's overkill, the rotors (24lbs ea) will be boat-anchors, but I guess the composite does help offset the weight. The Boxster S setup is a good compromise between performance and weight, on lighter cars I prefer regular boxster.

[SuperRSi]

Well I bought front and rear. Will post pics once we start.

Subscribing for updates

No return email in 10 days. No return phone calls either in those 10 days. Suspension pre-paid in full just to "get in line". No delivery date. I would just sell off the 993TT brake calipers and source some Cayman S ones if that would speed things up for existing design, but no response from Kevin. Week 5 of waiting for suspension is still no fun...

So it might actually be quicker to ship one from Europe! I think the most frustrating thing is one sees the photos of acres of suspension parts and assembled suspensions which makes you think that delivery is just an assembly away. Kevin call me.

Hi Super RSi.
Kevin from Mendeola is on Vacation on Hawaii until September 26. Before he left all new suspension parts were send for powder coating. I know because mine are on that batch!

[SuperRSi]

Would have been good business to let us all know. But thank you for letting me know. We are supposed to have the car at SEMA but not going to make it so that was not helping my attitude. Oh well, next year.

[onixbonilla]

Can not answer you that, as I am only one of his customers. But I can understand you about the show. Earlier this year we were invited to the Car Crazy TV show and we were very late waiting from suppliers. We managed to pull it off at the last minute! So do not lost hope!
