I would like some help on deciding what type of suspension, (mainly struts/shocks and springs), to go with. Right now i have the Eibach drag launch springs with the air bag in the right rear, and KYB shocks and struts. This was an ok setup when i had the 305tpi but i have since then lost a lot of weight off the front end with the motor swap, and the car sitts really high. I have Hooker LTs so i can't go too low. I plan on running 17x9.5 wheels up front. Stock Irocs in the winter. I'm looking for something that will give me a nice stance as well as pretty good weight transfer. Anything inbetween an all out drag suspension and a slammed one that anyone is going with? I have a few ideas but have no idea where to begin! Anyone with pictures too, that would be cool. Thanks for any help.

 

Anyone with suggestions or opinions atleast? Basically i am looking for something that will perform well, both on the street and somewhat down the track for times. How are some of the adjustable shocks out there? Anyone running them? I know once the car is lowered, lca relocation brackets would be optimal, and they will be added. I would like a "natural, clean, factory" lookng stance rather than the monster truck one i have now! Any help or pics would be great. thanks again

 

nobody? Anyone having good success with a nice stance and good manners at the track?

 

Mine is pretty much slammed and I have Sportlines and all of the other goodies necessary for proper rear end allignment when lowering. Lower control arm relocation brackets and adj panhard rod. I can launch great with my 17x9's and relocated lower control arm stuff but I don't make that much power with my 305. If you plan on running your car mostly down the track I would stick with your drag launch springs and get some adjustable drag shocks. You could however opt for some that are tailored for strip and street. If you still want your car lower but not too low you could go with the Eibach Pro Kit which is higher than the sportline kit that I have.

 

MAN I love thoes rims. Nice car!

 

Yeah man, the car looks good! Nice stance too. Thanks for the help. Anyone else?

 

Why not try the IROC springs up front or call one of those aftermarket suspension places like Ground Control. They would be able to recommend a good spring and strut for the front and rear that would give you back the stance you had or even a more agressive stance.

There are a few guys on the board that have complete suspension systems from these guys and they work very well.

Hey TJ, thanks for that link. I have heard of them but never really checked them out. I'll give them a call, see what they say. Thanks

 

why lower? lift the back, LIFT!

 

it looks funny without the ground effect on the side but here is the stance of my IROC with the prokit and bilsteins all around...

hope it helps you a little bit at least
