suspension?

stanglover0526 · Apr 14, 2009

i have a 2002 gt and am getting ready to do some suspension work. i was looking at the eibach pro kit but havent seen many people using eibach shocks and struts so i was wondering if they are any good or not? i may just use tokico d specs but am trying to save a little money. Any input on suspension is greatly appriciated.

i just installed H&R SS with tokico blue shoks and struts. Rides firmer but it handles like its on rails. Your going to need CC plates when you go that low. Im not running isolators front or rear in the car so mine sitspretty low. i think youd like the H&R's better than Eibachs.

they claim 1.75 f and 1.5 rear. I got that without running isolators. I dont scrape on much but i am always watching the roads if you knw what i mean

Youll be ok with ISO's. Maximum Motorsports has a good brand for 199. You can buy them from American Muscle.com

i'm a J&M fan personally, and not just for CC plates. their upper and lower rear control arms pretty much eliminated any wheel hop i used to get. actually kinda hard to do burn outs now, she just grabs that much better. i've got tokico D specs and love those too. no experience on anything else though. just nice to loosen up the suspension for cruisin around and being able to tighten it back up when you want some crazy handling. good call on the bumpsteer kit too. pain in the ass to install, alot of trial and error, but you can get about 6 degrees of caster with the cc plates and bumpsteer kit and have a blast driving it. think i have about 5.8 degrees or so and no bumpsteer to speak of.
