Looking for stiffer springs in all 4 corners , has anyone tryed anything latley thats stiffened the car up abit , specially in rear end squat ?

After i had my car tuning turbo put in and the transmission from dave the car burns out all the way threw 2nd gear and i think a majority of this is caused from rear squating

The only real solution you're seeking would be coilovers

My understanding is that coilovers are s not an integral part of the suspension.so not play a role in supporting the vechicle unlike Struts which we have in our cars.

So with that said , how am i going to get coilovers.

i desperately need something stiffer in all 4 corners other then the stock FE4 , i wonder if the police packaged struts would be stiffer , plus they are cheaper

What? They definatley do. Coilovers are a different style setup but it gives us the ability to swap in different spring rates and ride height on our stock bilstein struts. Mostly cheaper than what strut and and regular style spring setups would cost. Check my thread build here

Coilovers and crank them all the way up at the track. West Shore fabricators in Michigan is where I bought mine from.

Its been a few years...I don't remember what I paid. Do a search for their website. Not sure if they are still around. They were in Grand Rapids Michigan.

Just build your own plus you have the best shock on our platform. You can convert to cool overs for cheaper than buying new shocks already converted.

How do you build your own coilovers? I don't think I would know where to begin lol

Nvm just saw your how to link above

Sint3k

Yea I'm going to give it a shot

How did it effect your ride height ?

Coil over shocks will give you whatever ride height you want. It's simply a matter of turning a spring perch up or down to give you the desired ride height

Sounds like a win win lol

I only did my rear on the SS with coilovers. The fronts have Canuck lowering springs and the rear had them at one time too.
