Improvements

Took my car ( 96GT ) to the shop to have subframe connectors installed, when the PST front end kit ( polyurethane bushings ) I had ordered arrived at the house. I figured its there have them installed too, in the process the shop discovered a drivers side broken front spring, so now I have Eibach Pro kit springs going in. Oh well I wanted it lowered any way.

right on.. enjoy the stance but the ride quality may suffer.

Eventually gonna blow a shocks and struts

^+1. you ahve to get springs to match your strut/shock rates.

but, those are easy to replace, so no big deal... ;-)

Ride quality goes down, but handling goes up. You'll like twisting up corners now. Make sure to save for some KYB's or Tokico's.

youll feel more road imperfections with solid bushings.

 

[SlvrBullet98]

there not solid bushings, the pst kit has poly bushings for the front control arms, sway bar, end links, new ball joints, and tie rod ends, also he already has kyb's all around, ride quality was still very good imo, and car now has a great stance. any input rick? how you liking your new setup

SlvrBullet 98 you are right on about the ride with the new springs and shocks the car rides great. The car sits lower but not too low so it has a nice stance to it. The front end is nice and tight now and with the subframe connectors the whole car feels tighter. Car handles like it's on rails, glad I passed on the sport springs and went with the pro kit. next up 17 inch wheels and tires. :thumbsup: Many thanks to Viking Motor Sports for a great job highly recommend them !

The saga continues, just when I thought everything had been taken care of, get intermittent ABS lite, codes get pulled and wires on passenger side front sensor look like they have been rubbing against wheel. Thank God for E Bay.
