Default 01 S281 SC Racecraft suspension

Would anybody recommend me making changes to my current racecraft suspension setup from Saleen or should I just leave it alone? It's going to be a street car that i'm looking to push roughly 425rwhp with.

Are you happy with the current suspension otherwise? The best recommendations I can make, in preparation to upping ones power, is proper tires and and upgrade to the OEM brakes. If you want to go fast, you will need to STOP fast... sooner or later! Tires are the most oft overlooked item when pepes are looking to make big HP gains.

What tires are you running currently (make, model and width/diameter of wheels, please) and have you done anything with the brakes?

I have BF Goodrich g-performance Sport 265-35-18 all the way around. They are what came with the car, and brakes are original. I have only owned it for approx. 1 month and have only put 100 miles on it. NY weather sucks, and I refuse to take this on the road as there is salt on it right now. BTW Jazzer, I like the carbon hood you got there!

I've always been impressed with the Racecraft set up. It works well together.
Like Jazzer said, if you don't have upgraded brakes, start there. Clean fluid, SS lines and maybe some fresh pads to start with.

Those BFGs are pretty good for a street tire.

I haven't really gotten a feel for the suspension yet. I only put approx. 100 miles on the car since purchase last month. Figured i'd look into the upgrades over the winter so I can enjoy it all next summer.
