suspension

[Newbie143]

people say no matter what kinda HP you got it wont matter if you cant get that power to the ground with good suspension.
my question is , by getting 275 tires (front) and 315 for the back. will that be enough to get that power to the ground , or do i still need suspension work?
kepp in mine car will stay N/A for now.

and if i do need suspension work , please tell me what i will need as a start.
thx

subframe connectors full length are the way to go. tighten up the chassis, front strut tower brace, rear stb, k memeber brace.
or
you can address the lower control and upper control arms in the rear axel housing

I think the quickest way to improve launch would be gears, then shocks and struts, then UCA/LCA, then SFCs.

Then he could start working on the front suspension parts like front STB, better a-arms, real ball joints, real tie rod ends, better bushings...

Also, no way would I do the K member or the rear STB... The K member is too extensive and expensive of a mod and is only for actual race cars IMHO. The rear STB messes up the trunk interior trim and does not gain enough to justify messing up the already limited space in the trunk.

I think he meant the K-Member brace. They are fairly inexpensive. I have one, but am not sure of the difference it made by itself. I added it at the same time I did the Extreme Matrix System, so as a whole, that package made a HUGE difference. I would highly recommend it.

yea man k member brace

i dont think hes ready for a full k memeber unit. LOL

ive had no issues with the rear brace and its a great rienforcement for the shock area in the rear.

also those rear shock towers do move you can hear it after the installation if not tightened up fully. it does take up trunk space which is a big downside for some people. its not for me. meh to each his own and remember these are also suggestions not the law written in stone.

You need to transfer that power to the rear wheels, Id go with LCA's, springs, shocks, struts, and subframes.... That will much improve your launch and 60' times.

not if you accelerating in a straight line already.

It depends what you're looking for.

yes it is a daily driver.and it will stay N/A . so from what you guys said, i'm guessing the 315 back tires wont be enough to put the power down huh.
my plan is to make it a full bolt-on daily driver. Cams will be installed in a later step but not any time soon.this all doesnt matter right now.
so here ,i think this is enough info to get my answer
thx guys

315s will help a bit its only part of the equation what good are big tires if the chassis is still twisting and the axel still rolls. you will need torque box rienforcements full length subs MM or steeda will have those will help in this dept. adjustable lca's, hd uca's will help transfer power.
