I have a 89 camaro. and my suspension is shot scapes over every speed bump. But i dont just wanna replace the old with new i wanna upgrade!!. I am dropin in a 3.8t so i need some extra frame support i also want to get the best handiling i can out of it!! What should i do brands and prices ?? Thanks

 

If you spent a little but of time reading here you would get most of your answers....

 

yeah i realize this i just want every ones opinion on what the best setup would be ! I am thinkin of sfc lca koni yellows 1" 1.2" lowerind eiabach springd wonder bar, and new sway bars dont know what kind of sway bars to get should i get adustable lcas?? also i dont understand why u would move the lcas is there an advantage to this?? Adn as far as putting it to the ground traction bars are all i know of are there any othere routs??

 

Adjustable LCA's aren't really a street-use thing, more of a racetrack-thing. The reason is that for street use, you want the LCA's to be the same length. You'd pay extra for adjustable rear LCA's and only adjust them once!! An adjustable panhard rod would be required if you lower your car.

Keep in mind that if you put on lowering springs, you might be scraping more speed bumps then you are now.

 

As far as scraping yeah i know but the more i do the m,ore the car is going ot be in the garage.. Im not gonna drive it all the time but its definatly gonna scrape. What about the relocation kit what is that all about?? Any suggestions on extra frame support and traction to the ground thanks tom

 

Pan rod whats exactly is that what does it do and how does it work?? Also would a tourqe arm upgrade do me any good??

 

relocation makes sure when you lower the car you still keep a good angle on the lower control arms to keep traction. keeps them straight or the pointed down.

panhard bar basically centers the rear end left to right.

torque arm is a very nice upgrade; when u see a great aftermarket torque arm like spohn, and u then look at the factory torque arm you will know instantly that its a very worthy upgrade.

frame support options.

strut tower bar, wonderbar, subframe connectors.

its possible to double up on subframe connects, for example spohn sfc's and alston bolt in's.

 

can i do all of the above for extra support?? sfc strut bar, and a wonder bar? should i waste the money on koni yellow adjustables?? whats do u suggest i also wanna drop the car what what lowering srpings should i use? If i lower the car besides shocks and struts and the lowering srpings... what else is neccisary for the car to be normal. With the wheenls stragith and all what else do i need to buy to lower the car? Should i lower it first? or do other suspension upgrADES

 

Well, maybe you want to try rebuilding what you've got before you start adding things on? If your car's got high mileage or if lube jobs have been neglected, you might want to dump all the old parts for new ones. I just rebuilt my front suspension after over 250,000 miles, and it made for one hell of an improvement!! It's so much fun to drive now!

Now if you feel like your suspension is in great shape, then you might want to do the add-on's. They're certainly easier to do, although they'll cost more.

Just figured I'd give you another option to think about. You can get most prices by calling Summit Racing at 800-230-3030, they can order anything- most of their stuff isn't even in their catalog! You can also browse their online catalog at http://www.summitracing.com .
