Question:

When it comes to quality, performance and reliabilty, what brand has the best of suspension products?

For example:

LCA
SFC
Adj. Panhard Rod
Adj. Torque Arm
Front & Rear Sway Bars
Wonderbar
Springs
Struts
Shocks

All opinions are welcome, but I would prefer proof.

Thanks,
Jay

 

around here most people seem to go for UMI or Spohn, there is also BMR.

i personally like UMI because they are somewhat local to me and have had nothing but good experience with them.

 

I like Spohn and BMR. But UMI is also good.

As far as springs, factory or Eibach
As for shocks/struts, Koni *if you want to spend the money*
If not KYB, or Bilstein *for street and road race anyways*

 

Proof?

Its day its all a matter of " PERSONAL PEREFERENCE "
UMI,BMR,Spohn,Hotchics

I (had) all Hotchics Suspention and have had no problems with any of it.
LCA's,PHR,Sub Frames,STB & Springs.

Plan on reusing my LCS'sPHR,and subframes. sold the springs for coil overs.

 

I'm a Spohn guy myself - I've got a lot of their stuff, and have even been to their shop.

But like it was said previously...it usually comes down to personal preference.

When I say proof. I'm looking for results of the usage. For example if one hundred people say I used Spohn's SFC's and I had problems getting them to fit or they didn't feel a noticeable increase in the sturdness or handling of the car. I would consider that proof mainly because they actually used the product. Not just I heard Spohn or Lakewood has great suspension parts.

If you have had personal experience with these parts. List what company you feel makes the best parts based on price, performance, quality and reliability.

Wonderbar
Springs

Make your own LCAs and PHB. (or I can make them and send them to you. link in sig)

Struts/shocks = KONIs, Bilstein, Tokicos, KYB.

I like the stock 36mm front bar.

Rear bar don't go big - I am wanting a 22mm hollow from Sam Strano to replace my 25.4mm Spohn. 21mm solid works the same, just heavier.

SFCs - Spohn

Everything else - Spohn or UMI.
