I have been looking around at posts and talked to some people and I think I have narrowed to this. I might do some dragging but I am mainly looking for better feel. If someone could point out a flaw or if its a good setup please let me know! I am thinking that I will end up maybe with a little too much understeer?
SLP STB
V8 takeoffs shocks Decarbons
19mm rear sway bar(V8 takeoff)
32mm (probably 1LE maybe SLP's)but no poly bushings
1LE front spring but V8 takeoff rear springs ( is this a good idea because with the few bolt ons I have now I don't need the stiff one in the back. And that rear 1LE spring is pretty stiff.
SFC's (weld on) not sure on that yet I want a stiffer suspension but not to the point that I can't have a decently smooth ride.
Let me know...thanks

isnt a v8 sway bar 21 mm and v6 is 19mm? Setup sounds good, I needed someone to post a list like that:)

hmmNo not really the 93-97 came with a 17mm and I think the 98-02's came with 15mm.
some V8 swaybars would help you car out a good bit. Are you thinking about doing some suspension mods as well?

Poly bushings/endlinks are nice. No noise. Do they even have rubber bushings for the 32mm bar? Take the funds from STB and SFC and put it in Bilstein HD fund. :)

I thought about doing that....what springs would work best with those the V8 takeoffs?

all you need are sfc and a stb. i wish you could drive my car, so you could feel how nice subframes are. i used to say they were my best mod.

What other suspension mods do you have?

suspension mods: now i also have an adj. panhard bar, and lca. but i used to compare my subframes better than my intake and exhaust, cutout, corbeau seats, and lsd. i could REALLY tell a difference when the sfc went on.

See that's where the confusion comes in. You put subframes or STB on a pos V6 suspension and it makes a noticable difference and it seems like the best suspension mod out there. Put subframes on a car with zero sway and the difference might not be as great as you think. So why not do springs/shocks/sway bars and see if you feel the need for subframes. I'm not saying they are a bad mod, just not something I would start with. Considering that most of you don't weld you're going to pay a ton for install.

with a new suspension i would trust my money on sfc any day. but seeing how he has a 95 i guess he might want to spend all that money for shocks springs sway bars. but for sfc and install it was only $240 for me.
