New Suspension Mods

[camaro_speedemon]

After I get my motor in, I'm gonna work on my suspension. 120K on stock suspension, let's just say :eek: not pretty.

Here's my list of what I'm probably getting:

1LE 32/21mm w/ poly bushings and endlinks $199.99
Bilstein HD Front/Rear Shock Set(4) $369.95
Eibach Pro-Kit Springs $229.99
BMR Tubular LCA's w/ poly bushings $109.95
BMR Non-adjustable PHR $89.95
LS1 Brake Upgrade $250.00
Rear Disk Upgrade $150.00

Total: $1,399.83


I think it shall handle nicely when I'm all done. It's gonna cost me a little, but I think it's worth it. My car will be GLUED to the road when I'm done. I already have 255's tires that stick, I can't even begin to imagine how much of a difference this will make.

Mind if i tweak ur setup a little?

don't get poly bushings on the swaybars, just get the poly endlinks and use the harder bushings that the bars come w/.

get the poly/rubber combo lca's so u can still corner w/o fishtailing it if u step on it. also, get relocation brackets so u can stick ur launches with the pro-kit.

when lowering a car, and getting a PHR, get an adjustable one so that u can re-center ur rear end.

I know whatcha mean about the V6 suspension sucking. my 255's hop like rabbits cuz my lca's flex so much.

For handling, nothing beats a rodended LCA... zero bind, its all I run.

As arctc wolf said, you're going to need the adjustable Panhard Rod since you're lowering the car.
Also, you probably won't want to use the Bilstein HD's with the lowered springs, they're valved for linear rate springs, and the eibach's are progressive rate, so the Bilstein's won't work properly.
Check with Sam Strano as to options for shocks, he can revalve HDs for you, or set you up with a Koni/Bilstein combo, or any number of other things.

Eibach fronts are linear, please see my website. They will work fine, unless he is autocrossing and needs every oz, and he isn't...
