My Suspension Build Thread(Look here if you need help with you FE3 to FE4 Conversion)
So i have been pondering this conversion for a good while now and let me start out by saying for now my car will be a Daily Driver until i get enough time to start tracking the car it will only see the California canyons on Sunday mornings with the rest of the guys. Which to some people can be a light "track" run lol. I did a lot of research and wanted to build my suspension up to handle my desires with power output as well as the potential to track the car one day. Hopefully this build helps guide you in the right direction with your conversion as well.
My car currently is running a stock suspension with ZL1 style wheels rapped with 275's in the front and 315's in the rear on 20x10 +23 (Front) & 20x11 +43 (rear) Here is the list of the items that i am purchasing, Have purchased & the items that i intend to purchase. BMR Products - TCA033 (Trailing Arms) - BK006 (Outer trailing arm bushings) - TR004 (Toe links) - SB039 (swaybars) - EK011 (Front end links) - BK039 (Upper control arm bushings) OEM Parts -GM rear endlinks -GM rear lower control arms AFTERMARKET -Solid Subframe Bushings INTEND TO PURCHASE -Ridetech coilovers Last edited by Nighthawk89; 01-08-2015 at 10:49 PM. |
