Suspension Build

[Dreadknought]

My ride has been conspicuously absent from this forum for a while now. Figured it was due time for an update.

Decided to revamp the suspension for give me more of the precision, control, and "solidness" I wanted out of the car.

I installed Suspension Techniques ST coilovers, Strano front and rear swaybars, Steeda bumpsteer and X5 balljoint kits, ATE rotors in the stock sizes, Hawk HPS pads, and a FAYS 2 Watts link.

Rear springs on their perches.

The right side axle seal was blown and coated my brake in gear fluid.

Stock rear damper on left, ST on right.

Girlfriend and buddy painting and installing rear calipers.

Damn new parts look good.

Girlfriend removing stock struts.

I guess I work in controlled chaos?

Front Dampers off the car.

Front end all put together.

That pic that you titled "controlled chaos" makes me wonder...did you have any left over nuts, bolts, or washers laying around after y'all were finished? LOL Jus' playin'

Seriously though, nice build. I have been eyeing the Fays 2 watts link and those strano sway bars myself. How do you like the new set up so far?

Not really too noticeable in everyday driving. The ride quality improved from just the sportlines I had on before. And now when approaching the limit the car feels far more stable and predictable. It gives me the confidence to know that if it does go ass out or something, it wont be violent, and I can easily reel it in.

The turn in is amazing too. I purposely go out of my way to find the curviest roads to my destination.

I was going to quote that pic cause at first I didn't even see a strut. Lol


Nice build man.
