Plastic coil spring/control arm plastic caps

suzook · 01-24-2016, 04:38 PM

In my trunk is 2 plastic covers that go over the rear lower control arms/coil spring. Are these supposed to be installed by dealer? Or left in trunk? Thanks

I have the same question.

Pictures?

I saw that in the trunk of the 2SS I looked at. I thought that was strange the the dealer didn't install those, even though I'd prefer to install it myself.

Actually, the more I think about it, why don't these get installed at the factory?

Yes, what is their purpose and why are they still in my trunk?

Is it not the alternate deflectors for track events?

Here is what was in my SS trunk. I looked at the paper instruction sheet that was with them and it appears they are for track use only. I was also initially worried when I saw them in there that the dealer missed them at prep.

I am aware that they are track components, thanks. I was not asking, but simply showing with a picture for clarification to anyone still wondering.

Your dealer was right not to install those. You only use those if you are going to be racing your car on a racetrack. They are not intended to be used for daily driving.

Just clarifying to be certain it is understood. Apologies if it is already understood by everyone.

Edit: side note.... Looks like a pain in the a** to spend a couple hours swapping these out for a track day event.

Not the ones that go on the front, the 2 rear pieces. Those are for track use too??
