just finished the suspension and wheel upgrades to my car!

sonicblue · October 21st, 2007, 09:49 AM

just finished up this week with my suspension upgrades. the car feels great! really transfers the weight. heres what i put on this week-lakewood traction bars, steeda drag springs, lakewood 50/50 shocks, 90/10 struts, solid motor mounts, polyurethane tranny mount, jegs drag wheels, mickey thompson drag radials. i am just waiting on the steeda adjustable upper control arms to come in. its going to the dyno monday to get tuned since the previous owner did a bunch of upgrades and never had it tuned and then i should have it at the track next week to test it out. there is pics in the picture section or in my garage if you want to check them out

i posted the pics in the pic section and my garage section to keep the mods happy.

put some 4 cyl springs and shocks in the rear best thing you can do

sonicblue · October 21st, 2007, 02:49 PM

i am pretty happy so far with the steeda drag springs and lakewood shocks. guess i will see how they work at the track soon enough

White Thunder · October 21st, 2007, 03:46 PM

are you serious about the 4 banger springs and shocks....i guess if there not as still the car would squat but IDK...

vfast · October 21st, 2007, 05:03 PM

4 banger front springs work well for a cheap set up I have them on mine

White Thunder · October 21st, 2007, 06:02 PM

but thats what happens the rates on the springs and shocks are less letting the car squat?

why would you do this when real struts, shocks are under $100 a peice for nice ones..and springs pretty cheap too..unless you're budgets $50 for suspension

they also work as one of the best drag racing set ups there is get the springs off an old 4 banger and go buy 14 dollar shocks at oriellys
