Upgrading suspension questions
Upgrading suspension questions
Perhapps I'm looking in the wrong places in my catalogs, or maybe just looking at the racing only ****. But does it usually cost over 300 dollars to upgrade my disc size? I want to replace my A arms with tubalar ones and I can't find any that are less than 800 bucks. Control arms 300 dollars, come one.
I keep hearing one of the most important and best mods is upgrading your supension. But who can afford it!

as far as brakes go, yes it is expensive to upgrade. your replacing both calipers, rotors, bearings, sometimes hoses, and other miscellaneous pieces all at once.

The stuff is out there but again it's not going to be cheap. Very few manufacturers with very little demand equals a premium price.
