Its about time for me to start looking into the suspension. I already have decided on Bilstien Shocks/struts. What im wondering now is who and where to get some LCA's, SFC's, and panhard rod from? Also would a torque arm be a good idea to install. Im looking more at straight line but I don't want to steal to much away from handling. Any idea's on brand/type and where to get them would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

UMI has good stuff for a low price, specs seem like the same as BMR. Many like BMR too. Hotckis is very nice but pricey.

Just ordered and installed Spohn LCAS and PHR and I am very pleased with the qualilty, price, and noticable difference in the handling in the rear. I plan on ordering my adjustable torque arm and rear sway bar from Spohn in the near future as well.

 

Sphon is good too, but as a side note, I'd do a front sway over a rear sway.

I live an hour from Spohn...Gordon and Steve are great to deal with and they make quality stuff at good prices with great service. I'm one of their few "walk in" customers and its nice to see your stuff being made...I have their floor brace mounted TA with two loops and its awesome. I do, however have Hotchkis LCAs and SFCs, but they were on the car when I bought it. Even after 10 years the Hotchkis powder coating is still in excellent shape. You can't go wrong with either...

wow very nice Fred. Thats who I was just looking at on Redlines site just now. Looks great under there.

 

BMR had some quality control issues. Check LS1tech for info. I know my BMR LCA's came with stripped threads for the grease zert.

 

I have the umi lower control arms and panhard rod and i love them, it was like 129.99 for everything on ebay. I also picked up some BMR subframe connectors and i'm pretty impressed with them, they make a very noticeable difference.

That picture wtih all the spohn stuff is hot though

 

BMR all the way. Xtreme line if you want to go crazy. Everything on my car is BMR, I have absolutley no issues with any piece

As for the shocks, even though you are already decided, have you ever given the HAL QA1s a thought? Badass shocks

 

have BMR STB and SFC, UMI PHR and LCA's. all made noteable improvements some greater than others. all qaulity lookin stuff.
