Suspension Questions

Tokico D-Specs + Eibach Pro Kit will give you a good stance that still allows you to go over bumps without scraping, and handle nice. You'll need an adjustable panhard bar to bring the rear end back in alignment.

i recommend anything you find on ~ HotPart.com ~

i have most of their stuff and it is all great quality. i have had zero issues with this stuff, even with track time.

I have the FRPP handling pack and I love it, the stance is perfect and the vehicle is stable at high speeds....the ride is 90% factory.

That would be my suspension if I had the money

Hello:

These type of questions are alway followed by answers where people, with good intentions, just mention every part in the world, with no real world experience with it.

With the suspension make sure you have access to tools, the support and the plan for what you are doing. Also have lots of cash.

Suspension parts are a source of great dollar drain and sometimes little if no gain from stock if your using it as a daily driver.

Don't just go buy a bunch of parts, half the time that won't get you anything but a waste of money.

With that said, I'm no suspension expert, but for the best bang for the buck, the 1 thing you can do to make an impact in your look, your handling is to get some different springs. I recommend a 1" drop for street driving. Anything lower your going to bottom out or scrape everything.

Now don't forget to ask yourself these questions:

1. buy new ones for about $250
2. figure if your going to install them yourself. If so you need a spring compressor.
3. figure if you want to replace your upper strut plates since you have to take them out with the front springs anyway. If you have over 30,000 miles on it you might want to replace them. They wear out and squeak after a long time. And if you get some maximum motorsports or steeda units (aka camber plates) plan on over $300, but you won't have to pay for camber bolts.
4. Swap in the new springs
5. Go get an alignment, another $100.
6. You'll need camber bolts for the alignment, so add another $50+ to the total unless you opted for upper strut mounts (aka camber plates) see #2 above.

Now you can do a bunch of other stuff, but this is something you'll see results with. Also no need to buy a rear panhard bar, your car already has one. And you only need an adjustable one if your rear is out of alignment. Wait until your done with the install and then see if your alignment of your axle is out (mine wasn't) then buy the part. Why buy something you don't need?

As for tokico shocks, sure they come highly rated (I have no experience with them), but they are also $600 for a set.

As for lower control arms they help control wheel hop some, but not a ton.

Read up here on this site, you'll learn a lot, but just buy the parts you need. otherwise you'll spend a fortune with little if no results.

I have a full Roush S2 suspension (the whole kit) and GT 500 lower control arms.
