nautilus 08-07-2002, 06:43 PM ok in a couple days im oing to have about $1000 for mods for my car.
right now i need new front rotors so i think ill just uprgade those right now.
i also want to lower my car about 1 to 1 1/2 inches.
so my question is what type of rotors, and lowering springs should i get. and what other suspension mods with my budget?
i want my car to be able to corner better, possibly luanch better, but with no sacrifice in ride. more traction is always a plus as well.
nautilus 08-07-2002, 07:13 PM oh i also forgot i plan on building the motor up to around 400 rwhp in about 6months to a year.

96fbirdA4 08-08-2002, 08:08 AM Its always a good idea to add a set of subframe connectors and a strut tower brace..

one wicked element 08-08-2002, 08:14 AM Do you have $1k for suspension mods, or does that include the brake upgrade? http://web.camaross.com/bb/confused.gif
If it doesn't include the brakes, check out BMR Fabricaton.com (http://www.bmrfabrication.com/), they have very good quality parts for your F-Body.
If you plan on lowering your car, you will need to do the following: Springs (http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodySuspension.htm#springs), Lower Control Arms (http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodySuspension.htm#controlarms), Lower Control Arm Relocation Barackets (http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodyDrivetrain.htm#cab2). If you have some money left over, get the Shock Tower Brace (http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodyChassis.htm#shocktowerbrace).
That is what I would recommend.
I hope this helps.

z28rktec 08-08-2002, 10:47 PM I second BMR. The quality is awesome. I'm looking into a set of Sub-frames next. I just don't know if I should go boxed or tubular. Frank is great to deal with also.
