Suspension Thoughts
I was reading the kit for the 12's in a 2v budget and it talks about upr and lower control arms
lakewood 90/10 or something of the sort but first I dont know what this is and two is this kit insanely better or a waste money and whats a K member and half the stuff on this list?! I hear this company is the best of the best! http://www.maximummotorsports.com/
its called the grip box street/strip in their packages section its 4k and i wanna know if its overkill or will my car handle like a german sports car?!

Ohhhh...... Hmmmmm..... CODE!!!!!! Code we need your opinion over here! lol.
I'm not 100 percent sure myself.... I know that the Suspension setup with THR's 2v is setup for Drag.... Not handeling like German or Euro cars.... Two different kinds of suspension for two different tasks.

RE: Suspension Thoughts
I'm thinking this is a hybrid of the two.... drag and street.....
Oh yea... The K-member thingy and all that. Lightier and stronger material then stock OEM parts. Reduced weight and better handeling

RE: Suspension Thoughts
Yea Code should be strolling by sometime soon. Suspension is definatly his department. My knowledge spans only to that for a drag supension, you want some thats adjustable and offers good weight transfer from the front of the car to the back allowing for maxium grip to the rear tires. A similar thought is given for street suspensions in regards to cornering and so one and so forth. Give THR a call. They should be able to set you up with some goodies.

RE: Suspension Thoughts
A three link is best for road racing... A 4 link is best for the drag strip. So what ever your intentions are with your car I would set the suspension up for that. You should look into the Steeda 5-link which probably performs well at both. The k-member is a tubular design which reduces weight from the front and it changes the suspension geometry and improves many qualitys over stock... This is the maximum motorsports k-member. Some k-members are just the stock design redesigned tubular. Its good because it makes getting to the headers a breaze!

RE: Suspension Thoughts
I read it but for what I am looking for is it worth 4 k. I want an exotic feel to my car in power and handling. i am willing to shell out my limit on a budget for my car is to pay around 11 grand all said and done for everything I put new meat on 1000 apperance stuff is another 300 and 4k in suspension leaves 5700 for supercharger , cams, gears, and tunes.. Wow i might spend more lol!!!!
