I think I'm one of the few that is more interested in handling first, before any power modifications. But you're right. People are more interested in power before handling.
Don't understand why

I will be upgrading the suspension before the motor. I have been driving this car at and beyond its limit with the factory hp. I am not a racer, this is my daily driver. I just happen to have easy access to Mullholland Drive between Topanga Canyon and Hwy 23 on a daily basis. That said, I am at the point where I can feel the need for the upgrades. The car is still fun to drive but its gotten pretty loose in since the last oil change. I think that the reason most people spend on power first is because they do not understand suspension systems. Suspension upgrades usually come with a compromise of some sort and NVH are not something that most people are comfortable compromising. More power is easier to live with as you can always go lighter on the gas pedal.

I was one of those that did some minor upgrades to the stance and handling before power. I've added lowering springs and sway bars and I'm looking into trailing arms, toe rods, bushings and a sub-frame connector to buy soon.

If you are going to go with trailing arms, make sure you also do the outer trailing arm bushing to complete the control.


Pedders has all of the bushings you are talking about.

One of the participants sent me a email that he wants the bar as well. he is doing a bunch of stuff.

So if someone else wants a sway bar kit, I can do 2 of them to help.

thanks

If I were closer, I'd take all the bushing mods! Been working on suspension for a while. This Wed, Coilovers...this weekend, rear chassis & front strut braces, and rear trailing arms. No bushings yet...need to figure out exactly what I need...already did sways & adjust end links.

You have been and will continue to be busy! As a reminder, if you are going to do trailing arms, make sure you get the outer bushing as well. They do not come with anyones arms.

Sorry, I am not doing this to sell parts. I am doing this to help make manuals so all of you can see how to do it.

Are there a 2nd set of bushing for these? The set I'm buying has bushing with them. I need to get up on the bushing upgrades as that's where I'm lacking...I know suspension is important, so no SC for me - not for some time Maybe a CAM down the road...

Thanks,
Michael J.

The EP7323 bushing is used for the inner and outer trailing arm and toe link bushings. These bushings are all the same. So it takes 2 packages to do the trailing arms, and 2 packages to do the toe links

does that help?



Parts are in stock


thanks
