Suspension SETUP. GOOD Choice????

97GTSTANG · Sep 6, 2004

For my 97GT these are the suspension pieces i am going to order in two days. What do you all think? Any suggestions/substitutions???

FOR the Control Arms, I found these on ebay, but dont know the quality of these products for only $180.00 for both lower and upper..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7919825637&category=33583

For the shocks/struts.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7919036014&category=33590

What do u all think of those orders, do u think they will improve handling or cornering?

Thanks

Not sure about the brand for upper and lower contorl arms but that is a cheap price for them. I would do some research for that particular brand wouldn't want too see someone get screwed over. As for the shocks and struts tokico is a decent brand from what I hear and see. I beilve its the same set-up as the bullitt GT but without the springs.

yea, i am not familiar with that brand either, but i guess i want the polyurethane with grease fittings am i correct?

dont bother with upper control arm, just get a good set of lower arms and sub frame's.

Thanks for the advice. i already have the steeda full length subframes, why not bother with the upper control arm. whats the purpose of each?

The shocks are a rip. For another buck you could buy a set of KYB AGX adjustables and have a REAL tuneable suspension.

I love mine. 8 way rears and 4 way fronts. They work FANTASTIC with my progressive rate Eibachs.

I like those control arms though. Wonder what the deal is with the uppers myself.

Good Luck!

So u are saying dont get the tokico shocks/stuts? where did you find the KYB adjustables? do u have the model number or website?
Are they hard to adjust and does it really make a difference when u adjust them? can u tell the difference that much?

Thanks
