Suspension Set up

[Kenney07]

I was looking to do the suspension on my 98 gt this june... I was planning on purchasing:

MM cc plates
MM LCA's
MM full length subframes
Bilstein hd's
H&R springs
Steeda Bump steer kit


I had a few questions regarding this setup though... What type of H&R spring should i go with? I am looking to get rid of the 4 by 4 look and this is mostly just a street car for cruising around in on nice days... I was the car low but i also don't wanna be botteming out everytime i hit a small bump in the road... Also i was wondering if i should get the adjustable LCA's or just the regular one. What other things should i add to this kit, i wanna get it right on the first time.. No half as*ing for my baby... lol


And one last thing, how much can i expect to pay for install from a reputable shop?


Thanks :SNSign:

Go with the H&R super sports at least. That will give you close to a 2" drop and you shouldn't have any problems. As for the control arms I would just get the regular ones but you really dont need to do them. I would wait on those. As for install price, im getting my springs, shocks, struts, cc plates, bumpsteer kit and alignment done for around $500. That should be about what you would be charged unless you do the LCA's then it will be a little more.

Whats recommended for isolators and replacement bushings while they have it apart?

You can use the stock isolators or buy polyurethane isolators. Im gonna re use my stock ones. As for bushings you may not need any. But your car is 10 years old so it wouldnt hurt to change them.

Would you recommend me spending the money or LCA's.... or an sway bar kit? I hear that eibach's kit was pretty good any other company anyone has heard is better?

Dude get the lca's. Get adjustable one seeing as how you're lowering the car. I just put upr's Chrome-moly adjustable lowers on my whip yesterday and God D@*m it launches and rides a hell of a lot better. I'm not doing the uppers though. I plan on ditching the uppers in favor of a torque arm package from MM.
