  • anyone running 1LE springs, sways and Bilstein HD's

    I'm just wondering because I will soon be running all that stuff anlong with 1LE LCA's and Panhard which are already installed.

    I also have Kenny Brown SFC's installed, which I'm not incredibly happy with but they are bought and installed, to me the tubing just seems a little wimpy..

    anyway I'm kinda excited and was wondering what I might be able to expect.. I just hope it stiffens everything up nicely.. IMO v6 suspension is way too soft..

    Im pretty close to your setup, execpt I dont have SFC and I have eibach springs. The car is stiff and doesn't get pushed around on the road. I hate soft suspension that doesn't respond.

    I thinking of changing my 21mm rear to a 19mm. High speed turns/handeling my backend wants to start to get a little happy.

    I love suspesion it should be done first [img]smile.gif[/img] .
    I need SFC still though.

      quick followup in case anyone is interested the car rides and handles soooo much better now, I'm sure those bilsteins go a long way to helping ride.

      the car does sit proably 2-3 inches higher at the nose and maybe 2 inces tops in the rear but I think the springs will settle a bit given some time, also my car sat lower than most stock so between it being lower than a stock v6 originally and it now being a bit higher the overall gain was proably a little more than most will see, with just a short test/shakedown drive it rides and just feels so much better now, once I get it aligned in the next couple of days I'll really run it through some paces and see how it handles at speed.

      overall good mod, but if you change all this stuff by yourself just give yourself plenty of time and keep track of every nut and bolt till you are completely done, i lost several hours due to a castle nut that went AWOL for a while..
