Thinking about getting suspension upgrades... Suggestions?

I was thinking about getting some exterior mods...
But figured that i just love its current look so much that i chose to work on interior instead
Ive upgraded my speakers and painted interior parts, and im thinking about getting suspension upgrades next

Anybody wanna recommend some great products?

Please regard price, performance, and where to buy from

suspension upgrade

I put Eibach lowering springs and sway bars on my 2010 SS/RS and it improved the handling tremendously. Having it 1+ inches lower makes it look better. I bought them from Auto Anything. A great company with great prices and service.

It depends on how you use your car, what you would like for it to do better, and of course your budget. Feel free to give us a call or shoot me a PM if you would like to discuss it.

What are your goals? Drags, autocross, or just street?

What are you looking to do with your car? All around better handling or something like drag racing?

To start with, I would recommend a set of sway bars and end links. These will make a world of difference in the car's handling. The sways are 3-way adjustable so we can set them to your liking when we install them for you!



Springs would also help out, as they lower your center of gravity and improve the grip and handling of the car.






We located in Los Gatos, which is pretty close to you. We can get you a great deal on the parts and a killer price on installation. Feel free to give us a call or send us a PM!

+1 This is good advice. It really depends on what you want from the car. I drag race mine so my preference was BMR for a number of reasons strength, reliability, and service. I used their parts on my 4th generation and never had any complaints or issues.

Everyone here has their preferences for suspension vendors and on-line vendors. I ordered mine through Maryland Speed. However, any of the vendors here will be happy to help you.

The best advice is to talk to an experienced shop or vendor and let them guide you through the appropriate selections.
