Suspension Mods

[98FBird]

Here's my plans for my upgraded suspension.

Phase 1
KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks/Struts
Hotchkis SFC
BMR STB
Most of this has been or will be ordered in the next 3 to 4 weeks.

Phase 2
LCA Relocation Brackets
FRONT/REAR Sway Bars

Already have the standard 16x8.5 Chrime Rims with Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712 245/50ZR16, a bit overkill, but they hook like mad. I will be putting in 3.42 POSI gears at the beginning of the year so I'm planning ahead. Any suggestions or comments would be helpful. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

since they're 8.5 wide, and since kumho makes wider tires, why not go with 255-50-16 tires on the rims? I have 255-50's on the stock 16x8's and they look good and ride well.

LCA Relocation Brackets = not needed
You'd spend money wiser buying Bilstein HDs
stock rims are 16x8, not 16x8.5, but P245/50R16 is a good size. Try other tires if you can afford them, the Kumhos are definitely not bad, but there are much better for not much more (Yoko ES100 is one example).

If you stick with Kumho 712s, go P255/50 [img]smile.gif[/img]

[LS what?]

u only need the relocation brackets if u drop the car dude. how many times have i told u this [img]graemlins/twak.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] j/k but when/if u do, then u can scrape like me (cant wait till pat gets rid of the 4x4 stance, hes going 2 b scarping like a mofo) haha

i like ur revised list so far... glad ur listening 2 me [img]smile.gif[/img] but as far as ur sway bars... i wouldnt bother dude.. unless someone on AZFBA has some 1LE's they r getting rid of... but i wouldnt get any.

we will fix ur tip though... ill rig something up 2 hold that psg side 1 up.. that and find that leak and see if i cant fix that as well.. im tired of u reving at cars and it sounding like ***.

How does the roadnoise with the Yokohama's compare with the Eagle GA's, Kumho 712's, etc?
