Hey guys,

I'm looking to redo my suspension but im on a budget. Im looking to make my car a street/track car for autocross so i want the suspension to be firm but i dont want a harsh ride on the road. What do you guys recommend?

Thanks

First of all, if you autocross it what are the rules? Start there.

firm but not harsh on the road huh? when you invent it, let us know. Adjustable shocks w/ proly be your best bet.

If you want something that handles good and rides smooth, there is no such thing, you can find springs that are progressive, which means the more they are compressed the harder thay get, but.. competition guys don't like these springs because it's another variable. I think that will be about as good as your gonna get, with adjustable shocks.

MM full lenth sub frames.. FTW

Tockico D specs for your adj. shocks/struts

H&R's SS

Not going to be the "Best" ride, but it will ride pretty good and handle even better.. my buddy with a 98gt has this set up and i have driven it and i love the way it drives... IMO

Im going to be putting a roush side exhaust on this coming spring... Do they make a setup of full length subframes that will work? Becuase everything i have found so far says the side exhaust will interfere...



Thanks
