suspension upgrade time
I have the SS/SC and I have a pretty good idea of what i want to do, but i was trying to find out what the rear twist beam is, and where it can be bought at if it is worth it.
|
the rear twisting beam is your entire "rear axle." you dont need to modify it unless you wanna spend some serious cash and have john powell make you the time attack version. heres a good combination of parts for you.....
fe5 lnf struts with pedders springs or stance coilovers fe5 front sway bar with powdergrid endlinks ottp/powell stage 2 rotated mounts ottp/powell rack spacers ottp/powell rear hardcore sway bar(for more racing) or street sway bar(for more of a street car) |
ok yeah im not looking to spend that much lol...and thats pretty much the route i wanted to go but i have a set of coilovers on order. how hard are thoes rack spacers to install?
|
not hard at all. its a matter of breaking a couple bolts lose and undoing them, then positioning the spacers under the rack and then bolting everything together again.
|
Doesn't sound to bad...if I have the ottp hardcore bar do i want to make the front sway bar harder or softer with the powergrid endlinks?
|
swap out to the fe5 lnf front bar for sure. its a good combo
|
If you already have an FE5 front bar, no need to bother switching to the LNF one. Nobody but the most avid race driver will feel the difference.
Otherwise, what Boosted said is perfect. Save you money on the front bar. |
ok yeah i think im going to go that route most people i talk to seem tho thinks thats the best. But if i got the powergrid links should i make them so the front is stiffer or softer i want it to be a decent dialy driver but good on the track i can deal with sacrificing some comfort for performance
|
What about the steering knuckles?
|
yeah im going to order the gm upgraded knuckles also i forgot to add that in

GMPD knuckles are a good idea, but i would hold off until you actually break one, which is unlikely. |
Haha yeah I'll wait till I crack one...sorry for the questions but for the track how would I wanna set up the end links I really don't know much about em lol
