new suspension

Kuestone · Oct 4, 2005

Ok so Iam going to do my suspension setup I wanted to know if you guys think I got everything I need on the list

1 - Steeda sport springs
2 - Steeda heavy upper rear control arms and aluminum lower control arms
3 - Tokicho shocks and struts
4 - Front a arm bushings

I wasnt sure if i need caster camber plates or not am I missing anything?

I just cut my front springs 1 coil, rears 1 1/2 coils added an air bag in the rr spring, and I love it. It's a little rough but not too bad. The rear is the stiffest, but thats in part because of the air bag. I get good 60 ft times on the strip, and it corners really well with no body roll.
Now watch all the nai sayers flame me.

I am not a nay sayer. But I will flame you for giving drag advice to someone who wants a setup for road racing.

Sounds like a good combo. I've found that Steeda has excellent customer service, and that's always a plus in my book.
Front A arm bushings? Do you mean offset rack bushings?
You'll likely need CC Plates in the end.

damn cc plates buzzkill guess i gotta save more cash. I meant offset a arm bushings, they push forward the front control arms.

So true! To really take advantage of your new setup, full length subframe connectors will make a huge difference.

Good selection you have so far. I would consider the Steeda Bump Steer kit to get the rack's steering links back in the proper geometry instead of the Rack Bushings. The bushings are ok but the Bump Steer kit will keep the Rack in its proper alignment as with the bushings it's sometimes difficult to get everything right in relation to the frame, steering shaft/headers, etc. I'm not saying it can't be done it's just a more positive method to use the Bump Steer kit.

If you want to tighten up the steering with bushings you can consider the centered aluminum ones though.
