Spohn suspension

Does anyone know it spohn puts together kits with everything needed for the suspension. I want the best of everything and one of everything that they have on their site. Anyone know how much this would run?

I don't think they do, but they should.

If you buy a crap load of parts at the same time, I imagine if you talk to them they can work out some kind of deal for you.

But I agree, they should have kits, and for different setups too, like street, drag, auto-x/road racing.....that'd be nice

Yeah definately cause when I searched this forum trying to find out about it there were a lot of people saying that they were going to buy one of everything. I called Edelbrock and they don't have a full kit either. Oh well I guess.

It's somewhat better that they don't have Kits. Depending on what you want the car to do, for whatever, and how you drive the car, or feel it drives now, there's a large number of different setups. This is why you can speak directly to Steve Spohn or someone else experienced through his tech line. You're much better off speaking to someone who knows what you want to do and knows what parts will benefit you the most. And also if they really care they'll get you there with budget in mind.

Buy the things that give the greatest change first and then decide what's worth your dollar after that. If you dont know what those items are ask here or give Steve a call.

I also inquired about this a while ago. Steve responded saying if I was going to buy a large number of parts, he would work something out with me over the phone. I only ended up buying SFC's from him, but I'm sure if you give him a call, he could save you a few bucks for buying several items at once.

The only kit Spohn sells is the front end rebuild... but that alone will save you a lot of time piecing together your purchase.

Other than that the most significant pieces Spohn offers are his SFC's, LCAs and LCA relocators, Torque arm, & panhard rod.

If you were to do a Spohn front end rebuild, and then add to the rear those items I metnioned... WOW what a difference you would have made to the cars handling. A HUGE improvement over stock.

I imagine (because Spohn rocks) that if you called them up and said "I want to buy the front end kit, SFCs, LCAs and LCA relocators, panhard rod, and torque arm..." they would undoubtedly offer you a deal.

When I called them to order they told me they couldent cut me any deals on anything, not even shipping. That was about
$850 worth of stuff. Maybe if you broke $1000 in stuff

I once called and ask if they could give me a discount or deal and i ordered over 1500.00 of stuff and no deal. I just made a real order over 1400.00 no deal. Haven't got my stuff yet but i don't mind paying sooo much for quality and peace of mind. but i'm in the military and don't make alot of money to start with. my 2 cents

Hmmm...I dont really think it would be that good to have a "kit" anyways. Like how RegaPlanet mentioned theres a whole lotta ways to set up a car. Which is why tunable parts are made so you can custom tune it to your liking. Spohn might make a kit a certian way thats good for road racing and then someone could use it and say "this kit sucks" you kinda have to set up a car to your liking and how you drive. Or also the type of conditions that their are.

And if you live in Hawaii like me, just gotta order a whole bunch of stuff at once. Then you save a boat load on shipping expenses lol!

I am surprised that Spohn wouldnt offer a discount if you are buying a lot at once. Hopefully there is a point in which there is. I have $2000 in parts that I am looking to buy from them, but these are also parts I could get from other places. I guess we will have to see.
