need help

[predator5100]

Hey i know nothing on suspension i just want better handling any body know what a good way to do this is. I just want to feel better handling the car. Without feeling like it's going to roll or flip

try ws6 take off springs, shocks, swaybars, bushings and endlinks. no, not the slp junk. from a low miles 98+ ws6. pay $100 for springs and shocks + $80 for bars + shipping... handling will be much better. put on wider, stickier, lower profile tires, too. that will also help.

never had my car feel like its going to flip...

and if I have done in an suv what I have done in my car... I wouldn't be typing now [img]tongue.gif[/img]

check out the mod database. I didn't know much about suspension, until I read that. wealth of nfo.

I would start with a strut tower brace & 1le swaybars (they are cheap, make a big difference, and are very easy to install). After that, if still not satisfied, then work on shocks/springs, bigger rims and wider tires, subframe connecters, etc. The list goes on & on...

The biggest difference you'll feel is if you add Subframe connectors. The car will feel alot more stiff no matter what brand you prefer. BMR is good quality, especially for the price, and if your car is lowered, like mine, they make tubular style Subrames connectors that tuck up under the car and don't sacrifice any clearance. Next you'd probably want to look at the strut tower brace, and thicker sway bars.

If the body roll on your car is making you feel like an SUV just do the opposite of what an SUV does. Instead of getting your butt further from the ground....put it closer to the ground. Get some Eibach lowering springs. You'll really appreciate the confidence an inch or two lower to the ground will give you in conering.

Also, to keep those rear wheels on the ground and from hopping all around when you corner. Look at putting some Lower control arms with relocation brackets on 'em to get that LCA more parallel to the ground. An adjustable panhard rod will also help especially if you lower the car it can help adjust camber. The order I've always stuck by that most people seem to agree with, in my experience is the following:

1. Springs and shocks
2. Subframe connectors
3. Strut Tower Brace
4. Panhard Rod
5. LCAs and Relocation brackets
6. Swaybar set

Just so you have an idea, you can get numbers 2-6 all from BMR for right around $800 total. Not a bad deal, and like I said, BMR is great quality, especially for the price. You can always spend an extra $200-$300 if you want something like G2. But I've driven on both, and the difference isn't even noticable.

Good Luck,
