Hey
I need to get some new suspension. Right now my car has a rough ride...really rough. But I new new stuff regardless. What are the first things I should get?

Thanks
James

 

Buy a family car if you want a good ride

Do you want only a better ride, or better straight line traction, cornering. Tell us your goals and we can help you out

You should do SFC's regardless though

 

Without knowing more of what you want the car to do, it's hard to make recommendations. However, the SLP Level I kit is a very good upgrade that rides good (I think better than stock), handles much better than stock, and will also lower the car about .5" (making it look much better).

 

More for straight line traction. Corning would be nice too, but more for straight line....by the way, When I hit a rock, it feels like I hit a pot hole!! I can deal with it, but would rather have a better ride

 

Straight line, the best thing is LCA's. I got some chromoly tubulars because I wanted to save weight

Cornering, the best thing would be a front sway bar. I have the 32mm solid chromoly sway bar from BMR and it works great!

No matter what, I would try to get SFC's as soon as you can. You can feel the difference, and actually made my car ride a little better because it let the suspension do it's job, instead of the body flexing with the suspension.

 

I had a jacked wheel hub assembly that made my car very uncomfortable. If you jack up the car and can rock the wheel from top to bottom, thats the problem. May not be the problem but something to look at nonetheless.

 

I just had those replaced....DAMN ARE THOSE EXPENSIVE TOO. I figured out they were bad when It ruined a brand new set of BFG's on the front...
