New components

[Tourniqet]

I have been told by many I need new shocks and struts, and also thin the same. I would like to replace the pieces with high performance springs and struts, maybe swaybars (the shock is inside the strut, right?) Okay, I think it is mainly the front suspension that is out but most of the rubber parts are worn out all around. I would like the most serious streetracing springs and struts I can get for the least amount of money (dont we all). I just wanted to know what type of set ups you guys think are the best or have experience with, and also where to get them!!!

Thanks

If you want serious suspension, then go with coil overs from Ground Control. but it's going to be expensive.

Next step down is adjustable struts. These are nice. I don't currently have them, another member here does, and with them set on 3 (out of 5) his car is rock solid! They run somewhere between $125-150 each. Then get urethane bushings all around. New rubber bushings are nice, but they tend to have a little "give" in them. The urethane ones, don't move at all. Nice firm ride. A full urethane bushing kit is very reasonable, it's next on my list of things to do for autoX.

As for springs, most springs that are available today will lower your car and increase the stiffness of the ride some.
