what would be?

a fully modified street suspension setup to you? price is not a real object but should be considered.....no custom chromoly tubular frame, etc.

if you had say 5-6,000 to put into suspension alone what would you purchase and from whom?

If money was no object, I'd go to Spohn's site and order about everything they have, then get some nice baer brakes, tubular K-member and A-Arms's, and a STB since Spohn doesn't have one (well last time I checked anyway), some 17's or 18's to fit the baer's under, and some Michelin Pilot Sport tires. This would cost more then 5 or 6 grand though

yeah, roughly 7.

what about the brands that the non spohn parts you described....what would you choose.

i mean an anthony jones k member is twice as much as a pa racing or bmr and vice versa so it helps to know!

great list by the way.

I agree, buy pretty much everything on spohn's site, either wait for the spohn strut brace or else get a hotchkis, eibach pro-kit springs, tokico high performance shocks(not illumina's, gotta cut $ off somewhere...), HMS strut mounts, tubular K member from thunder racing, I think it's the PA one...

and personally I'd keep my 85-87 IROC-Z wheels and put some Eagle F1's on them, but if you were looking for something else I'd get Ronal R15's color matched to your car, or else Torq Thrust IIs in 17x9.5 with Kumho tires(again, gotta cut some $ somewhere).

great idea as well.........

so it seems that the majority here believe that everything spohn has is the best and if he made a tubular k then we would all be set?

are you listening steve...........?


i'm a little curious as to why no one wants coil overs but that's nothing big i suppose.
