I'm very interested in getting a suspension put together that will give me some nice bite on the street and strip, but I'd also like my car to have a nice, solid feel around corners curves. My car is a M6. So far I've come up with this:

-Nitto Drag Radials
-BMR LCA relocation brackets
-BMR boxed LCAs
-BMR Adj. Panhard Rod

Now, I'd like to reap the benefits of swapping out the stock springs/struts. What should I do? I was thinking V6 springs in the rear and keeping the front stock, and adding competition engineering drag struts all the way around, would that be a decent setup? Are there any spring/strut combinations out there that will improve cornering a little and traction in a straight line?

I'd also like to know if the BMR STBs will fit my car (it has traction control), and if a torque arm will give me any benefit, and I'd like to know how to ajdust the pinion angle to add a little more bite off the line.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

 

Add SFC's to that and you're all set. I torque arm will increase traction as well. And that STB should fit. I've never heard of any problems.

 

The car already has SFCs...

 

That's cool, it wasn't in your sig.

 

Yeah, it was, last set of words "Frame Connectors" same deal.

Nobody has answered any of my questions yet.

 

One of the things that allows the Nittos to perform well as a drag radial is a soft(er) sidewall. That will hurt your cornering ability. If you just want a car that feels good going into turns, you are probably OK. However, I would not recommend autocrossing on DRs or anything of that type, due to those soft sidewalls. An auto-x or road race tire is still made of a very soft compound, but has stiffer sidewalls or increased support during cornering. You have to be the judge of where you want the tradeoff to be.

As far as the CE drag shocks, I'd advise against them if you want the car to handle well on the street. I don't think CE even makes front shocks for our cars. Anway, if you want the car to be very versatile, you need to spend the money on an adjustable setup, like what HAL/QA1 offers. I haven't really kept up with the discussions on V6 springs, but from what I heard, most people that swapped in V6 springs went back to V8 springs.

 

The car will never see a road course, I don't plan on autoXing it ever. I just want it to handle as well as stock if possible and have a lot more bite.

 

I think that should do you. Add a STB for some more fun cornering. Springs and shocks would help too!
