hey Lman, can you tell me what is involved in a 6 to 8 swap? What about disc brakes? T5 swap? R&P? What's the widest wheels I can fit? I'm a newb and I'm sorely afraid of using the search feature, please help me.
the search feature gives the best advice. It should be used more often. I've been reading and answering the same questions over and over for the 6 years I've been here.
Okay... in summary... now that he's been trounced...
Stiff springs (lower if possible), sway bar and bushings up front... and most of all, IMO, subframe connectors. After these mods you'll then be looking at tire adhesion to the ground. That's a whole new ball game.
I was amazed how much difference the subframe connecters made. Maybe my car was just more worn out than most, but it would actually groan a bit when I changed direction quickly, and the rear would lean more than the front ( I have a front swaybar). I still don't have a rear swaybar now, but it doesn't lean as much as it used to. I think having the chassis stronger makes the suspension work better.
