Anyone have specials on suspension?

[KIMMER]

Wondering if anyone has specials on suspension components? Basically everything to lower and level the car the right way...adjustable lca, adjustable uca, camber plates, lowering springs, adjustable track bar. Also, do I need both uca and lca adjustable or just one of them? And one last question, do the fays2, steeda link, or watts link replace the track bar?

Subscribing. But to answer one of your questions, unless it's an extreme situation fixed LCA's and adjustable UCA should do.

That's what I thought, it had been along time since I looked into doing it and I can't imagine trying to set it up with all 3 adjustable. I'd be dog tracking like a 78 chevy pickup!

Kimmer, I can put something together for you. I prefer to do both adj upper and lower control arms if you are looking for the ultimate in adjustability. A watts link does replace the panhard bar.

Sounds good Kevin! I do plan on doing a watts at some time, but probably not right now. Not sure how much I can swing. I know everytime I look at stuff, there are handling packs, but no one ever shows a complete lowering kit, to do it right, instead of piecing stuff together. I'm sure there are alot of other members that would like a no nonsense lowering/performance kit.

I think the reason you never see a complete kit is everyone wants different parts, mostly springs.

I think most people just want the car lower and still to ride decent and have a good looking stance. At least me, but is there a spring that can do all that?

 

[Kevin@PMP]

For the money the FRPP springs are hard to beat in my opinion.

+1, great price and the ride is very close to stock. Gives the car a mean stance too.

 

[KIMMER]

FRPP springs it is!

 

[KIMMER]

Payment sent!

Went with CHE adjustable UCA, adjustable LCA's, LCA relocation mounts, UCA mount, aluminum adjustable panhard bar, FRPP springs, camber bolts, and line lock kit. Oh yeah, added strut mounts.

the FRPPs rock. ive had them for 3 years and they make the car look amazing

 

[KIMMER]

I can't wait to get everything so my car can finally be at the correct stance! I just didn't want to do it half assed, so I made sure to get everything needed to do it once and be done. Sucks because that was my money toward a built lower end. Reset bank back to 0.....

That's why my car with never have a body kit. Save some money and end up blowing it on performance stuff...

haha, i'm the same way. Really want a gt500 front bumper, but it's never going to happen at this rate. Once I get the suspension done, i'll need shocks, and then still have to do a forged lower end, heads, TR6060, brace the rear end...it never fricken ends. Would have been way cheaper to get a gt500.

Haha I won't even go through my list. Cosmetically I would be happy with a small cowl hood and a CDC chin until that tru fiber 500 front end comes out. Maybe with my refund check...m

I know where to get the gt500 front conversion for our gt's. The cost is around 1700 total for everything you need.
