You may have the same car, but don't think you will get the same traction on the street as on the strip.
no, of course not. I'm saying I don't want to put my car through a transformation to go from one to the other. Did that once early on...never again.
So I heard back from several vendors including UPR and Maximum Motorsports. Both agree that I needed to focus on the rear setup first. I was able to put together a very attractive MM setup but unfortunately, it was too expensive for me to ever become reality. I opted to pick up some UPR upper & lower control arms. Knowing what I know now, I should've done that a long time ago. I went with the UPR's because the MM setup called for eliminating the uppers by adding a torque-arm and pan hard bar. Attractive as that was, combined with their lowers, it's what drove the price beyond what I can reasonably afford.
I looked at quite a few K-members, but focused mainly on UPR, QA1 and MM. (Once I select a vendor, I prefer to stay with them since like components tend to work better together). All 3 appear to do a very reputable job of what they're intended to do and have confirmed my Koni's are more than adequate with their setups. The QA1 is the most adaptable to my current setup and least expensive, but the UPR seems to be the lightest (-78 lbs ttl)at only a slightly higher cost. I'm a big fan of MM and apparently, so are a lot of other people as they seem to be the most popular. They're just out of my price range.
I'll get control arms installed in a few weeks and get out to the track. I'm also going to remove the front sway bar and see how it feels. If I don't like it on the street, it goes back on. As many people prefer as hate it, so it seems to be something I have to just try for myself. Lastly, I'll stiffen up my rear adjustables which have been on their softest setting due to some previous bad advise. We'll see if we can't brake the 2.0 demon.
