Suspension BasicsJamesNobles 07-21-2004, 06:23 AM Hey I need to get some new suspension. Right now my car has a rough ride...really rough. But I new new stuff regardless. What are the first things I should get? Thanks James Red96Lt1 07-21-2004, 11:03 AM Buy a family car if you want a good ride :D :D Do you want only a better ride, or better straight line traction, cornering. Tell us your goals and we can help you out You should do SFC's regardless though LT4Firehawk 07-21-2004, 11:06 AM Without knowing more of what you want the car to do, it's hard to make recommendations. However, the SLP Level I kit is a very good upgrade that rides good (I think better than stock), handles much better than stock, and will also lower the car about .5" (making it look much better).

Corning would be nice too, but more for straight line....by the way, When I hit a rock, it feels like I hit a pot hole!! I can deal with it, but would rather have a better ride Red96Lt1 07-22-2004, 11:02 AM Straight line, the best thing is LCA's. I got some chromoly tubulars because I wanted to save weight Cornering, the best thing would be a front sway bar. I have the 32mm solid chromoly sway bar from BMR and it works great! No matter what, I would try to get SFC's as soon as you can. You can feel the difference, and actually made my car ride a little better because it let the suspension do it's job, instead of the body flexing with the suspension.

May not be the problem but something to look at nonetheless. JamesNobles 07-23-2004, 12:04 AM I had a jacked wheel hub assembly that made my car very uncomfortable.

I just had those replaced....DAMN ARE THOSE EXPENSIVE TOO. I figured out they were bad when It ruined a brand new set of BFG's on the front... :mad: | ||
