hDm2 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm looking to do a full upgrade from the original suspension that is on my car. Does anyone have any opinions on what's worked well for them, and where the best place to buy it would be?? Also. would it be wise to do the ball joints and control arms too? Thanks.

djspawn00 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 If you're nearing 100000 miles I'd say it wouldn't hurt to do the ball joints and tie rods... There is a lot available in terms of suspension packages. What's your goal? Coilovers, Universal Air Suspensions, new Springs, New Struts... pick your pleasure... I'm running on Tannabe NF210's on Bilsteins, Daizen bushing upgrades, Tom's 6-links, front jdm strutbar... these upgrades eliminated the "float" and definitely improved cornering and reduced body roll without compromising ride quality.

I wonder how hard it'd be to do on my own/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
