Thsoe of you that have upgraded suspensions..ie road course dudes.
What set up are you running?
Springs?
Size sway bars?
LCA type?
Tires?

 

k, to start off, im not a road course dude or a pro by any means. my suspension setup consists of pro kit springs, revalved bilsteins, larger sway bars front and rear (35/25 (something like that, i forget actually) (although from what ive seen in a lot of the posts, the guys who seem to know something advise against a larger rear bar, but to each theyre own i guess, i like mine), hotckis lca's, hochtkis adj. panhard rod, thats about it i guess. if you wanna count subframe connectors and a strut tower brace as well, got those too. im very satisfied with the way the car handles. 275/40/17 tires btw. although, on a sidenote, i used to have the sportline springs, and switched to pro kits cause of a lot of the "experts" advice. well, i actually preferred the sportlines. the look was much nicer, and i found it handled better. i find there was more oversteer with the sportlines ( a trait i liked). but, i scraped lots more with the sportlines. if i had more money, i wouldve got the koni sa's, with the adjsutable height springs ( ground control i think, dont remember). anyway, hope this helps some. do some searches as well and youll come up with tons of stuff. then go from there and see what works best for you (and what you like).

 

Eibach Pro kit & Bilstein shocks.

If you are serious about road racing, then adjustable Koni shocks or the HAL shocks with springs would probably be in order, then you can adjust big time depending on the course characteristics.

RKSports 35mm solid front sway, 25mm rear sway. I've been told that these swaybars are overkill for street use, but I'm planning on doing Willow Springs in the near future(hopefully). Subframe connectors are a MUST, hopefully you have then on already.
Re: LCA's, I have spoken to two very savvy f-body owners/racers/grease monkeys in Seattle, both said aftermarket LCA's are not necessary for roadcourse use, the factory ones will be fine. Steve n Seattle says that the aftermarket LCA's are heavier, and stiffer, which will cause a very stiff rear end, possibly wheel hop while hitting bumpy turns? That doesn't sound like a good thing to me. LCA's are great for the 1/4 mile though.

Like Slash says, strut tower brace too, I have that, also adjustable panhard rod, that just about covers it.

Hey Slash, any thoughts on your LCA's??? Did they really make a big difference, or is/was it negligible? Does your tires feel like they're "hopping" when going through a fast decreasing radius turn?

 

actually, i cant answer that the car already had the hotchkis lca's when i bought it. if theres bumps in the road, sure as hell it hops but, like i said , i dont road race it. just the fun i have on the street everyday. so, to answer your second question, no the rear will break loose at the tires limit though.
