I'm lookin for a christmas present to get from my parents...what do you guys think would be the best suspension mod?? i got lowering springs already...what should i get? lower control arms, panhard rod, torque arm etc.??? Which one, and which brand..thanks..I'm gonna be puttin out alot of HP this after this winter, so i gotta do some suspension stuff to get that power to the ground...

first thing I would do is ditch the stamped control arms for something better like tubular ones and get a et of relocation brackets to help wth your lanch and since your car is lowered they will really help.

If you only had one suspension peice to buy it would be sub frame connectors. There is no better single mod for these cars than this. Good tires could be viewed as a tie, but every f-bod needs SFC's.

I noticed a decent improvement in my Edelbrock panhard rod. It felt like the back end was planted better especially while cornering. From what I have read on this site control arms by any company are worth the money and like said by meridius you will need the relocation brackets because the car is lowered.

The SFC's are a good move, but a little expensive, plus you have to get them installed, I'd go with the control arms/panhard bar if the budget is tight.

Shocks- DId I mention shocks, Yes I will say again shocks. I will explain why again if anyone needs to hear the reason again.

EDIT: Of course though, you'll now come back on here and tell me you already have shocks so what now. Its very hard to give advice to someone unless we are giving the makeup of the vehicle currently.

well i'm gonan make my own SFC this winter, so I don't need to buy those..my buddy just got some, so my dad is gonna make a duplicate set of those...i need something around 100 bucks or so, so I found some nice tubular lower control arms...then i'll just buy the relocation brackets...where can I get thesee from??

street/autox/track route:

tires.
closely followed by shocks.
followed by sway bar endlinks.


drag race route:

tires
LCA relocation brackets
LCAs/TQ arm

Your car is already lowered?

Adjustable panhard bar.

Poly bushings and endlinks!!

i felt a big differance with a spherical ended panhard rod. If your car is lowered you should have one

alright...it looks like i'm gonna get the lower controls arms...then i'll buy the relocation brackets myself...does 60 bucks sound right for the brackets? then eventually i will end up getting a torque arm, and panhard rod...

and the car will never handle any better...

goto your parts store.

spend $12 for the poly sway bar endlinks.

and get some good shocks...



if you're going for drag racing and not handling..... still get the REAR swaybar stuff, then get the relocation brackets.....



or you could just buy what the majority of everyone else buys (keeping in mind that the majority of people here are slow)

well i'm looking more for straight line performance, not so much autox or handling....i'm just looking for something that will help me grip up more...instead of spinning so much when i take off....won't this stuff help for launches? what do the sway bar endlink bushings do for drag racing??? anything??
