best vert suspension mod

I was thinking about getting some form of suspension mod for my vert and I heard that something makes a world of difference. I am not sure if they said SFC's or what but I was just wonderin. And just how much will it help out? thanks guys

I like SFC first, but also if you lower your car anytime soon, LCA's and Re-location brackets are a good combo...along with the PHR...

Shocks are always an option as well...I love my Hal's (12 way adjustable) but they are expensive..

I was thinking about getting some sfc's and lowering springs. I need some cheaper ones that are still good quality because my budget is around 300. who makes the sfc's for verts anyway?

Kenny Brown DD but they are expensive, but the best IMO..

BMR makes them are they are good quailty and nicely priced...

If you lower the car, esp really low, the ride is going to suck with the stock shocks. Just so u know. i had the sportlines with the stockers and it was horrible! So i shelled up big bucks for the QA1 Hal's...

And for a lowered car, PHR and the combo: LCA and re-location brackets are awesome!

In order:

1. KB DD SFC's
2. better springs and shocks (Eibach Pro if you want it lower, 1LE for stock ride height)
3. roll bar (made nearly as much difference as the SFC's)

Of course, this assumes you are already using good tires, if not that is always the most effective handling mod.

Another vote for KBDDSFCs.....not only will they make a huge preformance difference but they will also presreve the integrity of your frame after hard launches.

Seems everybody covered most of the things above. Definetly go with the SFC....they help ALOT!!! If you lower it, you should go with a adjustable panhard bar...the rear end WILL move on ya. As for springs there are alot of options. I have a set of Intrax 2 1/8 drops for sale if you want them. 125.00 shipped to your door. Any other questions feel free to email me. I have done it all in the way of suspension on my vert.

BMR makes some tubular SFC's specifically for verts. They made a huge difference on my Z.
