I rarely ever venture into the suspension section, but I decided its pretty much where I'm going to start on this car.

I want a full setup, but I don't really have much time to tune the suspension although I would like to.. I also have to DD this car.

I'm hoping by the end of the summer my suspension mod list will look something like this:

sticky rubber on some Ultraleggeras
GMR knuckles
Powerslot (or other, haven't decided) rotors (of course upgraded pads as well)
stainless braided lines
TTR rear sway
MRZ strut brace
traction mods (solid upper, rotated trans)
possibly some subframe bars as well

I'm still completely lost over what I want to do when it comes to the most crucial part though, I want some "streetability" but I also want to get the most out of the rest of the mods..

What should I go with?

 

Will you be doing any kind of circuit driving or autox? If so, that could be a good starting point for a more purposeful built, IMO.

In addition, I think the general consent is the "strut brace" adds nothing to the car, performancewise.

Other than that, I will let the more experienced/technical people offer their advice.

I'm hoping by the end of the summer my suspension mod list will look something like this:

sticky rubber on some Ultraleggeras Sure.
GMR knuckles $$$$
Powerslot (or other, haven't decided) rotors (of course upgraded pads as well) Brembo or DBA slotted or blanks is my choice, Hawk or Carbotech pads
stainless braided lines
TTR rear sway Eibach or Powell RaceShop(from OTTP)....lighter
MRZ strut brace Save $$$
traction mods (solid upper, rotated trans) Solid upper isnt needed with OTTP mounts imo
possibly some subframe bars as well Yup, your over halfwat there with money save from Strut bar.


AVOID CHEAP COILOVERS. Go Koni or SS/TC

 

oi maven....youre so nice to have on this forum.

 

Thanks

 

I love my konis, and unless you really plan on racing it a lot you are not going to need coilovers and if you get cheap ones you will hate them.

 

i have heard the ttr sway isnt the best pick for the car, because its too stiff maybe? i think it can cause excessive wear on the tires or something similar because its just to much bar for the car...someone step in and correct me

 

^^ i dont think it was excessive wear for the tires...i think it just made the car too stiff for DD...im not positive though. I never mind a stiff ride though I usually tun my Konis up pretty close to full stiff

 

sounds like Konis are the right choice for me

thanks for the advice guys

 

Yes cheap coilovers will not benifit you in the long run. There is a reason why they are cheap.

 

I still thinking the rear can get a bit loose on my car. Now I could firm up the konis but I only notice the lightness when I am doing under the jail/instant death kind of speeds. which i rarely hit, and try to avoid. but you need to feel the limits.

 

I have konis and ssc springs (NOT ss/sc) and love the setup. car is soo tight in the corners.
