OK, here's the deal. I have an $800 budget remaining to do clutch and suspension. Right now the car is completely stock and worn out in both of these areas.
So I am planning the FMS King CObra Clutch (Call it $200). That will leave me with $600 for shocks / struts / springs / U & LCA.
For the shocks / struts I am thinking the KYB GR2 & matching shocks off ebay for about $200 shipped. Anyone go this route? Who on ebay did you buy off of and would you do again?
For springs, being a bigger guy with a convertible I am thinking FMS C springs. I am not looking for a very big drop mostly a stiffer ride. $160 or so.
Now for the problem. I can get U & LCA for about $200 OR I can get the poly bushing kit for $200. I am thinking the bushing kit will be better and just re-use the factory control arms (I am only using this as a DD that may go the strip 1-2 time a year. so it really is a DD first and foremost. Do I need to swap the actual control arms? I would really like to have the spring isolators, tranny mount, steering rack bushings, sway bar endlinks, and everything else in the kit.
I thought about the FMS suspension package but then this is springs and dampers for about the same cost as my thought process.
Thanks,
Chris
