I already have H&R super sport springs, MM LCA's, and soon to be installing Tokico D-spec shocks and struts, but my question is what other suspension options (besides suframe connectors) should I go with?


My car is mostly a straight line car, but I'd like to be able to handle, without it affecting straight line too much.



What good are panhard bars?


Any other options?

Panhard bar controls lateral axle movement (side to side), this helps with grip in corners, elimnates rear steer, and helps with wheel hop.

That has nothing to do with the suspension, that has to do with running loads of power + slicks (not drag radials...slicks lol). Cracking a torque box or spinning an axle tube would suck though, good point

With the panhard bar and torque arm tho, they require custom modifications to your existing exhaust system.

Yeah, I thought I read that somewhere, thank you for bringing that up.


I definitely see subframes in the near future. Is there anything I need to know about these? Should I go with the powdercoated ones, or is it safe to just go with the bare steel?
