well i want to improve my suspension as much as possible without lowering the car. want it to handle really well. i am already planning on ordering spohn SFC sometime next week. will eventually get a wonder bar, new LCA's, panhard bar, new sway bars, i pretty much would like a recomendation on springs and struts/shocks. i want to retain my stock ride highth as i cant sacrifice any more ground clearance.

 

also recomendtaion on what type of panhard bar, lca's and that stuff.

 

oh yea. car will live most of its life on the street with some occasional drag strip and road coarse duty.

 

I can't comment on struts and shocks (mine are stock), but check the sig for some ideas.

Well if you want to retain your stock ride height than you need to look at WS6, IROC, or moog replacement springs. All will be a little stiffer than stock but will keep your ride height the same. Some BMR or Hotchkis springs will lower you about an 1" and the prokit will go 1.5". The sportlines, Intrax, and drop zones will lower you up tp 2"+. Subframe connectors, panhard bar, strut tower brace and wonder bar should be on your list. They will dramatically increase the handeling of your car even if you keep the stock ride height. As for what shocks to go with? That is up to you to search and find out peoples opinions. You will find that most people go with KYB's for price and overall impromement over stock and others go with Bilsteins, or konis to have the best shock out there.

 

yea thats what i was thinking. which is better tho? WS6, IROC, or MOOG?

i do plan on getting SFC, Wonderbar, Panhardbar, and a STB. will most likely get those before i do anything spring and shock/strut related. also plan on getting new sway bars. i'm looking at the set spohn has that comes with all the mounting hardware and the 1 5/16" front sway bar and the 1" rear sway bar. how does that sound?

 

It sounds great. Your car will feel so different with the stuff you just lsited. As for springs they are all pretty much the same. I would still go aftermarket and drop the car an inch. It will still be very cloe to the stock ride height but you will get that added performance.

 

not really an option to lower it as i already scrape damn near everywhere i go. if i dont do it just right i scrape coming into my drive way.

 

will it be worth it to get the adj. stuff? or will the non-adj. stuff work.


will i need adj. lca', panhard bar, and wonder bar?

 

If you lower the car than it is necessary to use an adjustable panhard rod to re-center the rear end. An adjustable wonder bar is only for the auto cross **** that wants every last bit of stuff to dial in his car. You really only need adjustable LCA's if you go with an aftermarket torque arm that is not adjustbale. An adjustable torque arm would allow you to use non adjustable LCA's. But it is safe practice to get them if you have any type of torque arm. But, if you are not getting a torque arm anytime soon than non adjustable ones will be just fine.

 

well i plan on getting the Spohn lca's and torque arm. so i dunno. out of the 4 different lca's they offer which would you recomend for this set up. i will be getting all Poly bushings also.

 

i also plan on using the relocation brakets to get better traction.

 

The relocation brackets are a good choice. As for the LCA's I would stick with the basic adjustable ones. The other ones are beefier units for high powered cars that see a lot of strip action. The basic adjustable ones with poly ends will be best suited for street use.

 

oh yea might help if i tell ya i plan to add a 383 in about a year.
