Hey guys, Everyone says suspension is the key to going fast. I need some opinions. What kind of shocks, struts, and springs should I buy? I want to keep the car streetable.

Thanks,

Brent

Depends on your application, and goals. Are you looking for a drag setup, or like hitting the twisties?

For Drag racers weight transfer is key. Then getting the car to hook... well, that is another story in itself.

For me (A twisties kind of guy) I see my car with the following:

Strut tower brace (Convertible)
FRPP B springs
C/C plates
Tubular A - arms / Coil overs up front
Stock LCA's with new bushings.

Currently the car is stock and it still goes fast enough to scare my in the corners... I can't imagine what it will be like when I get the "Push" taken out of the nose.
