Questions on my suspension setup

[alsyr44]

I have been doing a lot of reading and research and I think I have decided on what I would like to do, but I would like the advice of people who know more about this stuff than me and may have the same set up. This is a stock GT, daily driver. My goals are to make the car handle and look better, without making the car unpracticle to drive or feel every bump in the road. I am thinking of....

H&R Super Sport Springs
Bilstein Shocks
Maximum Motorsport caster/camber plates
Maximum Motorsport Full Lenght Subframes


Please give me any suggestions, alternatives, ect. on this set-up. Money is always a concern, but I dont want to sacrifice quality to save a few dollars.

Thanks in advance.

It's a solid setup that your looking at. The ride will be a bit stiffer than your stock setup, but well worth the trade off for the improved handling and looks.

If I didn't do coilovers I would have went with the H&R too.

I prefer the Global West subframe connectors over the MM though. Check them out too.

Thanks for the info. I will be sure to check out Global West. Any other thoughts or opinions?

You may not get many responses as the subject has been done to death.

Have confidence in your selection, they are all wise choices, and amongst the best of all the offerings available.

I mentioned the Global West SFC as they are tubular, thus offering greater torsional rigidity over rectangular styles. When coupled with the four tube rocker rail support are simply unbeatable.

This pics shows the assembled SFC and rocker rail support kit. I went with the unaassembled kit (due to any irregularities in the floor pan/torque boxes and the Global West fabrication jig) and had Chicane Sport Tuning weld the package together for me.

I can't think of a better CC plate than what MM has. I think the Bilsteins are the best thing going (plus I hate the hassle of adjusting damper), and you can't beat that lifetime warranty!!! H&R springs meet or exceed ISO9001, ASE, and German quality standards (including D.I.N, T.Ü.V., and A.B.E. approval). Well worth the money.

Bust out that credit card, start spending and get busy with the install, then post some pics!!!

What about gears? and a shifter?

Hey Hop. Thanks for your help. You have convinced me to go with Global West. I'm in the works of finding somebody to do some work for me. I have a lot of options. Take it to a shop, or some trusted people who could do the work on the side.


I'm set on gears and a shifter. 4.10's and tri-ax total and installed for $425. I cant wait to get that done!!! Hopefully in the next few weeks. My schedual is crazy. I'm still a full time student and work so it doesnt leave a lot of time.

Thanks again.
