hey guys, well i have some great news i just ordered 4 brand new Bilstein shocks and springs, now i am looking for a better ride out of my car and i know this is a good start. what else would you recomend for the smothest ride? the car is not really being set up for track or drag, my suspension went to **** so i figured to upgrade sence i have to fix it. a little bit of handing upgrade would be nice. but just asking what you think? thanks guys love the site.

Re: Suspension mods
If you aren't looking for huge changes here are my recommendations. Get some Moog bushings for your stock LCA's (this helps solve the wheel hop problem), an adjustable PHB to recenter the rear since it has been lowered not (rod ends won't affect ride quality here but will require replacement every few years so the spohn adjustable PHB with poly bushings might be better), and to improve handling get some stock sway bars off a WS6/SS (this is a 32mm hollow front bar and a 19mm rear bar which are pretty neutral with stiffer springs which I'm assuming you have). That is a fairly cheap, low maintenance, quality setup for improved handling without killing ride quality.2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhardComment

Re: Suspension mods
My feeling exactly. A properly tuned suspension in an f-body can out handle stock c5 corvettes.Originally posted by 97burnout2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhardComment

Re: Suspension mods
