  • Do I need a new brkt for 30mm sway?

    I saw on SLP website they have a z28 take off for 15 buckers, so I say "why not?"

    Do I need new endlinks, bushings AND brkt??

    either way, i am gonna get bushings and endlinks, but do I need them either way? and brkt?

    thx

    you will need new bushings.. might as well get the endlinks.. becuase the stockers may brake.. and its a good time to upgrade.. and they are cheep..

    you will NOT need new brackets..

        i would strongly advise against the Z28 T/O's man. i have some in my garage right now.

        our stock front sizes are 30mm tubular, so you wont have an upgrade there. the rear are 17 in our car, and the rear in the Z are 19.

        i installed a 19 in my car, and it handeled worse. i got a good amount of oversteer, and i hate it. im takin the 19 off ASAP.

              yeah, I got the 28/15 combo. I might get some take of shocks too, if they still have some, since i have 125k on mine and it doesn't really feel firm at all. Maybe I just got used to it, because after coming back from a rental car it felt a little firm, but not that firm. Then I get used to my ride again and it just feels bouncy. then I drive my girlfriends IS300 and it feels so much more stable.

                I did the Z28 takeoff on my 2000 Camaro and loved it. The car felt like it had less body roll and better response. If you have the extra money, I'd suggest Bilstein HD's over the takeoff shocks. They'll give you better handling, but still keep a near stock ride.

                      Yeah, I know, he posted that after I asked. Thanks anyways. I don't think I want to spend 3 bills on my car. The shocks are still alright, but after 100k it's gotta be worn, though prolly not too bad.
                      I also just got new KVR blanks, hawks hps pads and another 94009 cat. I need to regrease my bushings on the sway and when I was rotating my tires last week I see the endlinks were falling apart. So I figured I put in a cheapo 15 smacker 30mm anti-roll bar on it and see what difference it will make.
                      I also need new tires as the dunlops have now seen 70k on them.
