Hey new to the forum, just wanted to see what you guys where running for rear suspension. I just finished bulletproofing the rear and am ready to buy some upper and lower control arms to tie everything together. Thanks

ive got Koni yellow adjustable shocks, BBK 1 1/2" lowering springs and stock control arms(which wont be there for long). I love the koni's and being able to adjust them, so i have no complaints.

I heard the megabite jr contol arms are great, my buddy has them and loves them.

Running Koni's, FMS C springs, megabite jr arms, and a MM panhard bar here and am very happy with the ride/handling . Didn't bother with the adjustable uppers here because I doubt this car will see strip use just lots of street abuse

Im running Eibach drag launch springs(no Iso's), removed front sway, Thicker rear sway bar, Upper/lower Control arms, subfreames and reinforced battle boxes, Car Hooks pretty good on street tires, Back when I had 245 rear tires it cut 1.9-2.0 60fts on street tires, and now I have 295's in the rear, It has alot more traction with the wide tires. cant wait for track time

I personally love the steeda hardcore stuff..Strong enough to take a beating but quiet on the street(used on my 99(..

My 90 is mostly street, i use fms uppers with hotchkis lowers.

UPR Street Kit and get a good set of springs. If you run the car on a transbrake they tend to hit hard so you might want to bag the r/r spring to compensate or just get an anti-rollbar. Also if you are having trouble getting the car to hook you might want to get adj. uppers and set your pinion into the neg. digits!
