Suspension!!!!

Ok i need new suspension.

what should i buy??

I love the look of the stage 2 bilstein suspension that comes on the SS from SLP. (except for how the front sits a little higher than the back)

I dont like the look of a dropped to the ground camaro.

I want one that is lowered and very aggressive looking, but its not sitting on the ground. I also want it to handle very good and have great weight transfer for the strip. I am thinking about just buying the bilstein package from SLP, but then i will essentially have just bought "Stock" new suspesion. I dont like that idea. i want something the will give me an edge on eveyone else.

I also still want a decent ride. I dont want to SLAM every crack in the road like its a huge hole. (like in my friends Supras)

i am also doing the boxed BMR subframes so i know i will be losing about an inch on clearance there.

SOOOOOOOOO..

Should i buy a full suspension??

spring, shocks, sway bars, etc., etc., etc.

or just shock and springs??

I dont know what to buy..........if you guys could post pictures and yall opinions that would be great. Thanks!!!

What do you want with the car?? If its for just kicks I would say I'm with Jeremy. That was exactly what I was gonna say. I got the Prokit and think its perfect. I was like you and didn't want it slammed. Not to low and not to high. I am getting Bilsteins in a couple of months also.

i want and good look (not slammed and not a 4x4) i also want good ride and feel. And i want good weight transfer for draging as this is a sports car and it will be needing that for my future plans.
