Default How do you guys feel about this suspension setup.

This vehicle will see occasional track use, and the street as well. I'm not at this time ready to dedicate it to the track, however very interested in upgrading the suspension to get the ball rolling. This is what i have so far, just like to get some opinions, ideas, and feedback on this setup. These all from maximum motorsports. Thanks guys.

I like it... I'd wait to see what Jazzer says before you order though.

Why not just do coilovers on all 4?

I'm sure if you call MM and tell them your plans for the car, they'd be more than happy to help you pick out a good set up based on your budget.

Sounds like adding around 100lbs to your car. If you want a good street/strip set up for half of what your gonna pay for the MM junk let me know, I'll point you in the right direction.

Front

rear lowers

rear coilovers

Just about any FLSFC will work. MM weigh the most so I'd steer clear.

MM CC plates are pretty for the price. I've used way better but to pricey for a street car.

i sent jazzer a pm, and this is what MM has picked out for me. They this setup will keep me decent on the street and decent on the strip, i may have to do a few little things to get it prepared one way or the other, but this is what they are selling me. remember i don't a total strip dedicated system.

Would I still be able to use those uppers with this setup ox?

excuse me guys, huge typo here, I have coil overs, front and rear, hypercoils in the rear. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Out back I would run team Z or baseline relocated uppers, team z lowers, strange 10 ways for shocks.

Could i run the baseline pro launch setup with this current setup? Would you run that over a watts link setuo for example. Tbat watts link is way expensive conpared to the pro launch. Could i add it to my existing package or will it not work?

When u say occasional track use are you talking drag racing? Because if you are wasting your money looking an TA or watts link setups. The only way I would look at watts link is if i plan on running autocross races, also for drag racing their are alot better options that maximum motorsports, they k frame is WAY heavier compared to everything else. You can make a one time stp shop by goign to www.teamzmotorsports.net, drag racing parts for street strip cars made by drag racers. OxfordGT made a great recomendation as well.
