Future Suspension set up

916_5.0 · Jan 28, 2008

Ok so i know this thread has been done a million time but just thought i would get some insight cause im bored at work. So this is what i am thinking about going with.
So far i have

Steeda UCA and LCA ( came with the car)
Eibach Pro kit (I am thinking about cutting a half coil)
Tokico Shocks.

In addition to that this is what i am planning on getting.
Struts not sure if i want to go with tokicos or something different as far as being adjustible
Full length subs MM.
FRPP A-arms
Possibly a bump steer kit
And sway bars (I was going to get the eibach kit but i heard people say that they are just the cobra ones so should i go with those or something different?)

So thats pretty much my plan for now, along with a million engine parts i have to decide on :hammer:. Anyways any opinions on that or what brands to go with, i dont want to drop like a ton of money on this stuff cause i have other stuff to buy too.

for shock and struts i love my strange adj. and they are cheap too. If you get the a arms make sure they are the 03/04 cobra a-arms. Sub frame connectors are good, just get the bare and buy some rustolium to paint it with when they are welded in. There is a difference between the cobra and the eibach sway bars because my brother has the cobra in the rear and i have the eibach and i think mine is a much stouter piece. plus the kit is ballance for the front and rear and are meant to work together and just the cobra in the rear will give you more over steer.

That sounds like a goods start.

the adjustable rear swaybar would also be an affordable upgrade for you to consider.

You asked about aftermarket uppers in the other thread. there's info in the stickey at the top of this page.

Yeah i will make sure they are the 03/04 a arms. Where can you buy strange struts from?

As far as what you said Dalamar about that other link i read a little bit but jsut now but i cant read a ton at work damn customers keep coming up here lol. But from what i read about the bind that can occur do after market uppers increase the chance that binding may occur?

Aftermarket Uppers will Bind..... Do not Buy.

.....also get something else besides strang Struts/Shock..... Grab some tokicos or bilstiens.

as for swaybars.... Look onto Suspension Techniques Bars.... they are REALLY good

The reason i was asking about the uppers is because they are already on my car i bought it and found out that the previous owner put them on. I just got Tokico shocks for my car for christmas, so ijust need the struts now should i get adjustible struts? Who sells those sway bars?

Dalamar · Jan 28, 2008

Handz has an adj. rear sway on his car, he can tell you all about it.

Aftermarket arms, with stiffer bushings will increase the bind. and transfer force into the floorpan of the car.
also can cause upredictable handling.
you'd be better to put the stock uppers back in, or can get the FFRP's.

Dont buy them unless theyre strictly for a drag car. They sound like your riding on rims.

Really? I heard suspension techniques bars were cheap, and dont fit right.

Ok as far as front control arms go should i stick with getting the 03/04 cobra a arms. OR should i go with these ones.

I think those are for a fox

SRT Handz · Jan 30, 2008

To run tubular A-Arms you must run a coil over kit

Dalamar · Jan 30, 2008

Right, but if you click application on that, they're for a fox.

916_5.0 · Jan 30, 2008

Oh my bad there was another one that was for our cars i clicked on the wrong one i guess. And yeah i was afraid you might have to run coil overs i noticed on another one it siad you had to run them but it didnt say on those. Well thats a bummer i guess it will be the 03/04s after all unless i can get money for coil overs.

Dalamar · Jan 30, 2008

sounds like a good plan.

i was 100% satisfied with my ST Sway bars. The fitment was great and they made the car handle like a dream.

Only issue i had was that once i installed my MM LCAs, the rear sway bar hung down WAY too low to drive with. It put PERFECT with stock LCAs but didnt work with the MM LCAs.... problem was that MM arms are designed so the sway bar hangs down a little lower. ST designed there rear sway bar to hang down a little lower also.

since both designs were ment to hang down lower, when they were combined they hung REALLY REALLY low and couldnt drive it. So i traded a Cobra for his rear bar since he has Stock LCAs
