So I'm looking to change everything, it's all stock from the previous owner. Fe5 setup all around, from what I read Powell seems to be the best for springs?? Don't care about the drop, more about the performance. I have about 1000 or more to spend and want to know where the best place to go is. Sway bar? End links? Tcabs?... What the **** should I do

 

Sway bar ,strut bar, yyz v2's , trans mounts, tow hook..... What else...mmm

 

I have motor and trans mounts, stage 2 axels

 

koni struts and V2 YYZ's will be the best bet and a Hardcore rear sway bar also from Powell.

 

Don't waste your money on a strut bar. Or a tow hook unless you plan to be in a situation where you might get towed. Go with lcabs, YYZ v2, Hardcore bar, Koni rears, then if you can afford it Koni fronts. The difference will be night and day.

 

I'm getting the Front, rears and springs from Powell. I live 45 minutes from them. So I'm not sure what shocks and struts they will be giving me

 

^^^ For the price the latest 2010 valving , brand new FE5 struts and shocks ; cabs and a rear bar when you can afford it will complete the picture. If tight for money CABS above all the soft rubber rear training bushing is wimpy.


this photo, someone thought the malibu non voided bushing would be better.

this is what 199 gets you; cross axis joint



and this is what stock bushings look like when they are ....toast

 

I thought the V1 Powell springs were the ticket for handling over the V2's?

 

no more v.1. depends on what you are doing. out and out track, I suspect v.1 give you slight edge. driver mod trumps the difference.
v.2 is nice trim height/rake for folks who care about that.

 

Are both v.1 and v.2 available or only v.2 now?

 

So wait... there's only one spring type to order now? Is CED still the place to go to get them? I want to order a set this week.

 

gloria@powellraceshop.com or tom@cratenenginedepot.com. They ship out of the same location. It depends on if you want to support Tom's or Gloria's retirement fund...

 

the v1s were the first version and were bound to run out eventually. people cried about the ride height so some adjustments were made for the v2 to get a slightly different ride height. since the initial batch is gone allyou can get is the v1.

 

v2 you mean, right?

 

fixed

 

Ordered mine today!

 

I have YYZ v1 with koni rears and stock replacement OEM KYB struts....hands down you can not go worng with that set up or with that John is suggesting....since I got laid off this past sunday my plans are on hold but as soon as I have the money Im getting Johns hardcore bar and buying the koni front with some aftermarket bushings for the front anti roll bar just to replace the stocks which have over 93k....and will install them at the same time...

 

I say support them both!!!!

 

So if I get the shocks and struts from John there just OEM FE5 parts? Is it worth going with koni?

 

Not sure what John sells for shocks, but the Konis are supposed to be the hot setup.

I have a set of Konis waiting to go on as well.

 

I have V2's and they are amazing looks gud with the added drop, will be doin koni rears and already have the hardcore rear sway bar, love it
Kind of a bad angle but my front with yyz v2's installed

 

pretty much we dont sell much stuffwe dont make, unless its for service customers up here. Revalved Koni's have taken months to get done, and STILL NOT ready FML. (We dont revalve them)
We do import parts from CED for Canadia customers...

Tire rack have the best deal on Koni's bar none at the moment, although a vendor here was distress selling some Koni stock they had... occasionally you get deals like that, someone bailing on inventory....

 

Woah! They are already here! Thanks for the fast shipping!

 

CED has always been very fast with their shipping. Overnights not bad lol
