suspension needs help

stevek · November 10th, 2008, 10:30 AM

i need to start looking at suspension upgrades so i was wondering what . would be some good choices. the car will be driven daily(in nice weather only) and also see some track time. i know i need atleast lower control arms tires springs shocks sub frame connectors. i am just wondering everyones opinion on what companys equipment really works and will last. as well as best bang for my buck kind of deals. alot of people look at price and figure the more money the better but from my years of detailing cars i have found there are some hidden gems out there people over look cause they are priced cheaper than someone else. when all is said and done i want to be doing close to 550hp at the wheels. so i would like to build suspension to handle that now before i get the power. thanks for any and all suggestions

For what you want to do I'd stick with something simple and reliable like BBK or Hotchkis upper and lower control arms. Greasable bushings will provide a long life. Adjustability isn't a big deal on a car that is more of a daily driver than anything else. A stiff boxed control arm with stiff bushings is going to give you a noticeable benefit.

Quad shocks were a factory band aid for a poorly designed factory lower control arm.
