  • I got suspensions Q's. What springs for lowering? And what to do about body roll?

    I am jsut curious what you guys suggest.

    I am not looking to go rediculous pure race setup. One thing I want to do is lower my car a little bit maybe 1-1.5 in.

    TOO MUCH WHEEL GAP!

    Kind of a dual thing, looks and suspension. What springs? What kind of affordable shocks?(remember money is a big factor [img]smile.gif[/img] so leaning towards takeoffs)

    Also jsut curious what I can do to tighten up the suspension a bit and eliminate body roll. I really enjoyed the improvement on my 94 with 32/21mm with stock suspension setup but looking at other things as well.

      the 1lE is for V8, does it fit our V6 well? I was thinking about springs...

        Springs will fit but won't fit right, front will sit higher do to different weight of motor.

        Also I woudl want something differnet then 1le springs, if I do it a big reason is to lower the car too.

              Look at my setup...it lowered my front and you could lower your rear more than I did....my car is drivable and I drive it to work everyday...but my wife hates to ride in it because the suspension is stiff and I don't have bushings in my LCA's or panhard. I really like the stance it gave my car though.

                  Btw didn't you agree to stay out of my posts?

                  As for the REAL topic, I am looking for a performance gain. The suspension is pretty tricky and you have to balance it out in alot of ways. I have some ideas but just looking for suggestions from others, mainly on springs and shocks.
