What are you trying to do with the car?

Good looking/driving street car with the occasional strip.

No handling or twisty taking??? How much are you wanting to spend on your suspension??? For me, the suspension setup that i want is the Bilstein HD's from AM, front and rear coilovers from MM, and extreme duty lower control arms from MM. That setup would be great for track and street and will handle with the best of them. But then again, im more about handling and ride comfort, which is why im going with coilovers.

Edit: H&R springs are great looking lowering springs but they will hurt your launch at the track and might ride a bit on the rough side.

^When I think about it I feel like I would want to handle good, but honestly I don't think I have ever tried to take a turn fast. So twisties are out. Not wanting to spend a lot on suspension, just a decent setup. HRSS will hurt launches over stock?? Not really wanting to swap out anything I already have, just wondering what will go well with what I already have.

Oh, gotcha. I was thinking the first list was stuff you wanted to buy...pays to read the headings. lol The H&R SS springs will hurt launch over stock because of the higher spring rate of the springs. They wont allow for weight transfer like stock springs will.

But as far as the lower control arms go...YES!!! Buy lower control arms, but i'd go with the extreme duty ones direct from MM. They are solid bushings on both ends with urethane bumpers surrounding the solid bushings so they arent that noisy. That'd be my suggestion to you. Those are the LCA's i plan on going with.

^ok, i will check them out, do you think the balljoints are worth it?

teej281

I'd get the steeda balljoints and the MM bumpsteer kit should be done. MM makes 2 bumpsteer kits. The tappered stud type is the one you want if you have a stock k member. But I would suggest both of those to you when you get the lowering springs put in.

And which control arms are you talking about, they have a ton on there?

teej281

yea, the ones listed on that page are the ones i'd look into. The ones for our year cars with the tappered studs. And the control arms that i suggested are under the extreme duty standard control arms and its the ones with spring perches and swaybar mounts for 99-04.
