Trying to learn as much as I can about the suspension system in my car, want to know the names of all the parts and how they work BEFORE I buy them. It's hard because a lot of what I'm finding assumes that the reader already is knowledgeable about automotive systems.
My goal: weekend cruiser, no racing but lowered and better handling than stock.
So far I've managed to get a few used parts:
H&R Super Sport Springs
Steeda bumpsteer kit
Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber Plates
Blistien Struts – used from a '03 Cobra 35k
So, here's my shopping list of possible parts from MM:
I'm still a bit confused about ball joints - I know there are upper and lower, but are they only on the front end? I read that replacing the front control arms with OEM 03/04 Cobra arms is a good improvement. If I manage to find a pair, how many ball joints, and what kind, do I need?
Thanks in advance for any info and advice!
