alrighty, i have a few bucks and i need to know what you guys suggest i should get to upgrade my suspension. i dont run at the track very often, so i need a setup that is designed for the street...


i have the stb. im thinkin about getting the double diamond sfc's...what else should i get?

please list your top three....thanks



--shokor--

 

sfc's are one of the best things to do. but you dont really need double diamonds, a set of boxed bmr's are all you need. if for street you mean you just want handling, lower it and get sway bars.

 

well, my car's already lowered. sway bars? my stock ones wont do, eh? well, reason i was thinkin about the DD's is cause i've heard they're better.

 

i was told that the stock sway bars cant hold up to the potential your car has being lowered. as for the DD's i have been told by many that they were more trouble than they were worth. but wait and see what everyone else here says, thats just my opinion. I also recommend goin with BMR stuff for all your suspension needs. they make great stuff.

 

i just read your tag it says you have edelbrock sfc. if you mean subframe connectors, then you should be fine in that department, i would go with the sway bars.

 

yeah, i've got the edelbrock sfc, i figured the DD's would be better. now, as far as the sway bars--any specific brand?

i pretty much want a set up that is really good...want that beeeyotch hugging the curves.

 

You want to carve corners? Then buy these: http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ORD-1-1-1-4470.cfm

The springs are linear-rate, so it makes for a more harsh ride on the street, but they're much more predictable than progressive-rate springs.
Of course, you'll want to get new shocks to go with them. The ground control coil-over setup only works with certain types of shocks. I know they work with Bilstein, so get those.

 

hmm, they look good. ok, what else?

so far, my DD sfc idea has been shot down. funny, no one has mentioned a panhard upgrade

 

If this is with the intent of drag then check the drag forum, if this is for AutoX / RR duty then check that forum for better suggestions.

 

hmm, good idea, thanks doc.
