Best Suspension Combo!
Best Suspension Combo!
Okay, the time has come to redo my suspension. I'm tired of the roll, I'm tired of the sagging, I'm fed up with poor handling.
What is the best suspension combo in your opinions??? I want a smooth ride but great racing suspension.
I was planning on lowering the car with the Eibach Pro's...any opinion's on that?
And when I talk about combo, I mean NEW shocks, springs, LCA, Panhard rods, sway bars..etc.
Help me out here please!

Ive got the eibach pros (1" drop) with kyb agx shocks and struts, lakewood lca's and panhard, polly bushings and stock sway bars. The improvement was tremendous. The car rides a little rough at low speeds, butat 45 mph + it's great. This isn't the best racing suspension (because of the progressive springs and the rear shocks could probably be a little stiffer) , but is an excellent compromize between handling and drivability. the front struts are on 3rd setting out of four, and the rear shocks are on the 8th out of 8 setting, highest # being the stiffest. The car feels realy well balanced, doesnt bounce at all after the initial bump, no quirks or unexpected behaviour. In fact, if I go around a tight, like a little intersection, turn at a good speed, the car does nort over or understeer. It does a four wheel drift and gets it's self out of trouble without having to steer out of it. You will feel every little dip in the road though, but it doesn't bother me any
I'm not sure because I did it over the past year, but probably a little over a grand, not including the 17's and tires. Ive got a lot more into the suspension (including rims & tires) tan I got the car for (2600).
Struts and shocks were a little more than 400, springs about 200 something, about 200 for the whole front busshings arms and rod ends. a lttle less than three for lca's and pan rod. stb I can't remember, but it would have been cheaper if bought from summit. All I need is subframe connectors. Falken zies 502's between 5 and 600, which are an excelent tire for the money. A lot of stuff I can get at cost though, but I'm sure you can find deals if you look.
