Hey whats up guys got a simple suspension question. What suspension do you guys reccomend for a 93 fox thats keeping the four lugs and pony wheels that sees auto x and occasional track day use? Right now Im stock suspension and brake wise and am going to start dabbling in the suspension and want to plan out purtchases for suspension parts. Thanks

Brakes would be my first priority. Fox brakes are fine for normal street driving, but if you continuously beat them down, they fade pretty badly.

As for what brakes for you? I dunno, keeping the 4 lugs is going to be tough.

It can be done. By the time you are done buying the 5 lug set up with new wheels and tires you are in the same ball park number. You can a better setup with 5 lug brake wise and wheel selection wise as well. But, the 4 lug upgraded brakes are out there.

Not much over 1500 for the suspension, brake wise Im getting svo fronts cheap and bigger MC that should be good for auto x lol I already took it out once with the drums and it fades but the joy is that between runs they have a little time to cool not much but a little. Needless to say not the fastest but not the slowest either. The rear disc conversion is a little more but definitely doing it too.

Take a look at Steeda, or Eibach. A set of sport springs, shocks, swaybars and upper and lower control arms in the back, and you will be maxed out on suspension.
