  • decisions - help me decide

    For a t-top 01 bird with minor mods including - k&n, free ram air, raised air box, whisper lid, and borla cat back, what should I do for the suspension first?

    I'm thinking strut tower brace, sfcs or eibach lowering springs - just dont have the cash to do all at once. What would be recommeded to do first?

    I would suggest the STB first, SFC's second, then the Lowering Springs. I think you should get the body stiffened up first before you go lowering it.

      Just making sure you realize lowering is purely cosmetic - the handling is realized in chassis stiffening and a proper set of shocks.

        yeah I'm not looking to get too much out of the springs, other than getting rid of the hugh space above the tires. Also it should help under hard breaking from what I hear.

        Also that was exactly the order I was thinking - thanks for confirming that for me.

                Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't stiffer (therefore lower) springs help control body roll when turning? BTW, I would say STB first, then SFC's, then spring AND shocks.
