Default I got my suspention on!

So i got to it and installed a bunch of my stuff. I got on my tokico shocks/struts, GMS uppers and lowers, ffrp C springs, MGW shifter, and my underdrive pullies. I still have a few things leftto put on. But my car feels and runs GREAT!! I havnt launched yet to see how it does but I probably will go for a drive tonight. Oh and I will put up some pics once my springs settle. So far its been between 1"-1 1/4" all of the way around.

To say the least it feels like a new car lol. When im accelerating I can deff. tell a better transfer of weight and it feels as the the car just "feels" better. I cant really explain it but its deff. a huge different over stock. I deff. recommendit.

Oh and with the pulleys, my a/c is still ice cold. No power or overheating problems and you can notice a difference with power. And when I say that I mean you can tell that there is less drag on the engine.

Thats the exact suspenSion I was planning on...How did you do on the price of the shocks/struts, CA's and C springs?

I was planning on getting these when I get my tax refund back...but now it looks like my roomate may be moving out so I might have to spend that money on furniture

Get some good pictures of your setup and you might convince me to sit on the floor

You going to do sub frames and a strut tower brace too? That would tighten that thing up like a 18 year old.

The springs were 160 shipped, shocks/struts were 268 shipped, and the CA's were I think 163... and im planning on some sub-frames to finish it off. Not to bad, you just have to looks around for good prices. Got the springs from summit, the shocks/struts from stangsuspension,and CA's from Granatelli. Just get a bucket and sit on that! Suspension is deff worth it!!
