Any other additions to my suspension upgrade?
So far I have Pfadt trailing arms and subframe bushings installed on the car. Yesterday,I recieved my Pedders coilovers and 27MM front and rear swaybars (endlinks are on back order,should be delivered next week?).
What other parts would everyone suggest to aquire this winter to add to the suspension upgrade? Not looking to build a race car but rather a VERY spirited street car. All suggestions appreciated,even vendor input. Thanks everyone.

you have the basic "necessities" covered. Go have fun, drive very "spirited" and see what, if any changes are needed. There does come a time to enjoy all the hard work, I think you are there.

Adjustable toe rods, lower control arms and sub frame connector.

Depending on how low you go with your coil-overs you may need some type of camber correction for the rear. You can use camber bolts or a lower control arm to resolve this issue. With your amount of power I would also put a set of toe rods on the car. It sounds like you have minimized the deflection in most of your suspension components but your toe rods are still lacking. You can upgrade the bushings in your OE toe rods but it's usually only a few dollars more to just replace them with aftermarket toe rods that already have better bushings. We have 3 variations to the toe rod - non-adjustable, adjustable street, and adjustable race. For street applications I would stay away from the race version. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!

I would definitely add castor bushings to your combo. (Not a must but I would recommend castor eccentrics as well)
If you plan on driving it hard and/or making any serious power, than diff bushings are a must as well. Please feel free to give us a call with any questions, we sell and stock all the major brands. Thanks Mike Haddad 310-412-8032 |
