ok.... im takin my car apart this winter and having it painted and im rebuiling the suspension and buyin cobra r wheels and tires..... im almost 99% sure i wanna do aftermarket suspension but im gonna have to take out a small loan .... im willing to spend 2500-3000 on tires and suspension but i dont know exactly what to get.... i want a good suspension that will lower the car about 1.5 inches to 2 inches and i want it to be stiff.... also i want it also to be able to do good on the strip cause i wanna see how low my ets can go on a stock lx hatch with just suspension mods and tranny mods.... does anyone have a good setup to use for this? this is about a month or so away so im just lookin for ideas

I would go with a tubular K member, and control arms, get rear and front strut tower braces, and get the following kit:

I don't know how that kit compares in price to other places, thats where I get most of my parts from, they seem to have nice prices on everything else.

Then if you are keeping it stock "Looking" I would get a manual sterring system get rid of the power steering ( They are still fairly easy to drive)

Then take the intake and heads off and get them ported with some 1.7 Rollor Rockers...everything will appear stock and you will show some awesome numbers on some drag slicks.....

Do you have a AOD?

yep freshly rebuilt aod with 650 miles on it..... what numbers u think i can run with this setup... hopefully in 13's right?

Nah if you do some mill and port work on them head's and intake ( get TMoss to do it) its fairly cheap, get some drag radials, ( Not sure what converter you have in that tranny, let me know) and do all the suspension mods you should be low 13's high 12's maybe if everything it tuned right that is.

Here is Tmos's Page he does awesome work look at the dyno numbers he has:

Here are some Dyno charts on the ported intake

is it that hard to do your own porting? im tryin to save money on stuff like that if i can do it myself

schwindty

With that 3000 Stall shift kit and 4:10's Ported E7's and intake Upper/Lower ( Tmoss charges 200 for porting intakes) ( not sure on machine shop rates for heads) you will easily be in the low low 13's high 12's with the suspension and slicks... I think anyways.

He has diagrams on the site, you can wreck it but if you are maticulous and carfull I think you can do it up, I amd going to port polish my Elebrock but the runners are soo easy to get to its not even funny
