Default my head hurts

every one here has been really helpful with my questions about suspension...

but i just cant decide on what rear setup i should use, steeda 5 link, '03 cobra IRS with maximum motorsports grip package, or a torque arm with a watts link?

i live in Mass and the roads are in rough shape, the car is a daily driver(except for winter) that will probably never see a road course but i still want it to handle real well, my budget is about $2500

any suggestions would be real helpful

if ur budget is really that high i would do the steeda 5 link; its the best of both worlds u have handling and then with a little bit of adjustment the car can hook like crazy

dont bother with a big time suspension build. everything you need can be had in a typical strut/shock/spring/sway bar install.. i live in RI... my roads are worse

i'm leaning towards the 5 link or IRS because i've heard you need stiff springs with a torque arm

ya they keep repaving everywhere down in cobb county, ya its nice to have the roads but the traffic waiting for the nice roads to be finished sucks! can't wait till they finish that strip of 75 right there at 92 if they haven't already. it causes hell everytime i go hunting lol.

92 at 575 sucks in Woodstock also, it's hell here and traveling from 75 to Woodstock is worse with the construction there as well, sorry for stealing the post btw. Keeps it up top at least
