RE: Suspension setup
I have heard nothing but good things about the 10 ways, and I have never heard anyting bad about the stuff Maximum MotorSports puts out, but that they are a little expensive. I you are going all out with the SFC I would go with full length. And there are ALOT of options for the rear control arms, but if you can get some of the adjustable ones, I don't think you need the coil overs (Don't quote me on that one but I think that is correct being a somewhat suspention newb).

RE: Suspension setup
i was goin to get the coil overs for so i can adjust the spring high and stiffness and what not... its not a drag only car thats why i kinda wanna get everything adjustible so i can have a same daily driver with good handling and on track days i can turn a few things here and there and its a drag suspension... what kind of controll arms do u suggest there are many adjustible rear control arms... what brand is reliable and ezer to install... i dont want to go overboard but i do what something that can out handle most all the stock cars on the road... something that is close to porcesh handling if at possible... at the same time tho i dont want to drop 2 grand on a setup... i was thinking more of a 800-1000 setup the shock and struts are 70 and 120 a peice repectiveily... the coil overs are 70 a piece i believe and the hyper coil springs are about 120 a pair of 2... so i would of course need to... this puts me rite around 800ish... i no the connects are like 100 so that 900... i was thinking a decent upper/lower control are would be like 500ish??? i wasnt sure tho..... and i dunno what kinda i would need... and what are these cast/camber plates u speak of onyx... what do they do.. what brand would be good for them and what would htey cost....
so info on control arms and cast/camber plates and you open on how well the setup will handle is i tweak it just rite... im welling to throw down a few hunderd more that i expected if i wont every have to replace any of these parts for better parts or becuz they broke... is its kinda like get it done rite the first time kinda thing.... thanks for all the help so far and any other help given

RE: Suspension setup
You do not need to go with a full coil over setup. You can run something like what I am going to go with and thats a D&D K Member, D&D A Arms, D&D Front Coil Over, MM CC Plates, Strange 10 Way Struts, Strange 10 Way Shocks, MM Panhard Bar, MM XL FL Subframes, MM U/L Control Arms, etc. That should handle pretty well and be pretty track efficient also.
I am actually debating running the D&D on my 93 though becuase I have heard that they are not the best for street use so I take back what I just said. There are tons of mixed opinions out there for aftermarket k members and street use. I might just throw the D&D on my 88 and put a MM k member on my 93. Alot of people say that MM K member is the only aftermarket one that they will run on the street... I dont know though I am just finding all of this information recently.

RE: Suspension setup
Want to know your best solution? Call Maximum Motorsports and talk to the guys over there about street suspension setup's. You dont have to buy their sh*t but just act like you are lol. Full coilovers is not necessary and they will be able to explain it to you the way that I cannot lol.

RE: Suspension setup
well i wont mind buy their **** but some of it is a lil over price and u can get just as good from else were for a better price... like the strange 10 adj shocks/struts... but i mite do that i normally dont have a lota of time during the day since most of my classes are from 8ish to 2ish so kinda sux ill give the a holla tho.. thanks
