**NEW** Perrin Psrs - Now Available -

The PERRIN PSRS has been a long time coming! Finally we are ready to release our PSRS for the EVO VII, VIII, IX & X! We choose to go with black, as this is a new theme we are going with on all of our parts. Mainly for those CA guys!
CLICK HERE TO SEE ON THE PERRIN PERFORMANCE WEB SITE!


What is the PSRS?
In the Subaru world, these kits are known as the ALK or Anti-Lift-Kit. The anti-lift part of the kit is a very small feature compared to the benifits of the solid type connection the PSRS makes. Eliminating the OEM super soft bushing provides significant improvement in how the car steers during hard cornering and even in a straight line. So P.S.R.S stands for Positive Steering Response System. The PSRS replaces the front control arm, rear bushing. This OEM bushing is designed to be extra compliant to reduce NVH, and make the ride more comfortable. The compliancy of this bushing is not something a performance oriented driver is looking for.

OEM Bushings Installed
Under braking, this OEM bushing has enough flex in it to cause the wheel to move back and forth .300"! This deflection of the wheel causes drastic toe in and toe out changes under braking. These toe changes will cause steering input changes, cause the tires contact patch to change, and even wondering.

When accelerating, this OEM bushing causes unwanted wheel hop, and again toe in and toe out changes. During acceleration, the car will want to follow the ruts in the road, as the bushing flexes back and forth. This is one of the most noticeable changes.

PERRIN PSRS Installed
Under Braking, after the PERRIN PSRS is installed, the wheel will not move front to back period! Since there is no way for toe changes to occur, the steering feedback issues, and wondering under braking all goes away!

Under Acceleration, after the PERRIN PSRS in installed, wheel hop disappears, the car will have far less tendency to follow the ruts in the road, and in turn the car will have more front end traction.

Adds Caster
Besides removing all the unwanted flex of the OEM bushing, our PSRS has an offset to where the bushing is mounted. This allows the installer to add almost 1.5 degrees of caster to the front suspension. Caster is the angle at which the steering knuckle rotates on. Adding caster makes the car turn in faster by providing a larger contact patch as the wheels turn on the steering axis. Think of it like camber for your steering!

NOW COMING SOON!

By popular demand we are making a batch of ZERO caster PSRS's. Basically this will be an OEM replacement solid mount that DOES NOT EFFECT ALIGNMENT. This will be an item that will be legal in many of the racing classes that the PSRS is not.

If you want to be one of the first with this part please PM me or post here and I will put you on the list.

Expected ETA is 2-3 weeks.

ZERO Caster adjustment P.S.R.S. is HERE!

NEW ZERO OFFSET

Our new ZERO offset PSRS gives you the similar performance of the normal part, but because the bearing is not offset, there is no need to have the car aligned! This does eliminate the benifit of adding caster, but it also saves the end user up to $100 in installation!

Also legal in racing classes where the original P.S.R.S. is not. Does not Change suspension mounting points. For the rule book it is just like energy suspension bushings (I think), let me know if not so i can update this post.


Also for you SUPER WIDE tire guys you will have normal tire clearance. (sorry about the bumper Speed Element)

Bump for a GREAT product.... We Installed a set of the PSRS on our Shop Time Attack car before we went to the Redline Time Attack @ Fontana. After talking to the Driver after the First session, the car now have LESS understeer and better control/handling.


This is a MUST for all you track guys.

P.S. JOHN, you owe me $2500 for the voltex front bumper + carnards + front under splitter.

Thanks Devin,

But the price of the bumper should be lower now because it's used AND broken.

Not sure of anyone testing this on an Evo X but was wondering if this made huge difference on the track and/or street. Does it introduce a lot of vibration or is it livable?
