  • Upgrade time

    Time to upgrade the suspension. What to do. I am under the impression that if i have 3 inital things to do i should 1-upgrade the frount and rear sway bars 2- ebaich springs 3- strut brace. Are these the first 3 things i should do. How big of sway bars should i go with, i could give a damn about ride quality so dont take that into account. And what company should i use for the strut brace and sway bars?

    If you're not worried about the ride, and have the money to blow, I'd say pick up the whole 1LE kit from SLP. It's $2,000, and it comes with all the control arms, Koni DA shocks, swaybars, etc.

    Looking back, I would have done it that way, had I known better.

      if your looking for just a little stiffer ride, then the 1LE would be the way to go... but if you want performance, go with something better, like BMR... they have just about anything that you could want for susp., i have the bmr sfc's, stb, lca's, and phr, and it makes a world of difference, next is the bmr springs and trq. arm, but for just starting out, the stb is cheap easy and effective... then depending what u want to do next, if you want less body roll sway bars, sfc's, and if you want less body roll and lower ride height go with springs, just about any spring will do, they're all made pretty mch the same...

        I was thinking about the SLP kit, but isnt it 800 not 2k? But someone who had it was telling me that the struts were to soft, and not to get them.
