so i have finally been able to save $500 (still saving) i was wondering if there is anything suspension wise i could get at that price? I do want to change out my old suspension components, or at least know about how much a full suspension (for street) would cost me. thanks for the input
If you want to do rear control arms I highly recommend the Maximum Motorsports lowers and Edelbrock adjustable uppers that I have on my Stang. They all have a spherical bearing at one end so the rear axle can articulate and the suspension doesn't bind during hard cornering, providing superb grip and allowing fast exit speeds. The Steeda arms have urethane bushings at all contact points which increases suspension bind and the risk of snap oversteer. They're fine for going in a straight line i.e. the strip but not for hard cornering.
The front can be stiffened up nicely with urethane bushings everywhere to minimize body roll and sharpen steering response.
That's a really great kit, only problem is, it's back ordered...

I decided to go with the Bilsteins I just put the rear shocks on and only drove it 4 miles. I went over real bad RR tracks 2 times just to see if it sucked. It was better than with stock wore out shocks.
It was not super harsh or anything. I hope it does not get to bad after I install the Ford C springs. If it does I just will not drive over crappy tracks.
My right rear was leaking and had nothing left.
The shocks made a huge difference.
I wanted to buy the shocks from Maximum Motorsports, they seem to have top quality products and they answer there E-Mail.
But American Muscle had a way better price.
I dont get it American Muscle sells Maximum Motorsport caster camber plates for the same price and offers free shipping. Maximum Motorsports you pay shipping. So you pay more.
