Ok I just finished installing my new suspension. First I would like to give it up to this website, the sales dept allowed me to acquire alot of the parts failry cheap. My new suspension consits of hyperco springs, Hotchkis 36mm front sway, 1LE 21mm rear sway, Energy Suspensions bushings, and 17x9 10 spokes with 285/40 all around. First impressions, the car has a great aggressive stance and I have enough clearance to not bottom out or scrape unless someones in the car with me, even then its minor. Handling wise the car is very stable and twisty stuff is just plain fun! I have not had the chance to actually push it all it can go, its kinda scary when you can take curves at over 80 mph and have very minimal body roll. One thing I want to share is that the rear sway was the last part to go in, and to my surprise it almost completly cured the fishtailing problem. Wish someone told me that earlier!! Accelartion is better, now I have grip with my new wheel combo and it launches very straight. It's harder to spin those wheels they just put the power to the ground. I want to thank everyone on this board who shares experience and ideas, reading around here really helped not buy into the hype of buying suspension parts I dont need at this time i.e., relaocation brackets, panhard bar, strut tower brace and a torque arm. My car finally has the ability to handle its great power and now its time for power mods!!

Here's a quick pic, I haven't really detailed the car but so you all can get the idea, I really like the hypercoils.

Nice work man. Actually, if your rear end isn't centered after lowering your car then you do need an adjustable pan hard rod.

Mark I like your car, nice stripes. Eventually I might get some 35th gun metal stripes. And the rear is doin fine folks looks centered to me, so forget the bar till I get bigger wheels.

hi
where do you get those hypercoils, that's drop I actually like. How much did it actually lower the car?

you can try to get them used or call hyperco they might still have a few sets left. The springs specs are these front 360-580lbs rear 168-216lbs 1.8" drop. These springs have one of the most aggressive progressive rates for these cars. They drop the car alot so you better have a big tire, specs say 1.8" drop but before the drop wheel gap up front was 3" now its 1" rear was 3.75" now its 1.25" these measurements are tire sidewall to fender clearance. So in other words the actual drop I saw was 2" up front and 2.5", looking at the actual drop specs I dont think I would of bought these springs. Looking at the car with the springs on and then comparing the wheel gap makes you realize they give the car a perfect stance. The stock springs and other springs always give you a crappy stance mostly in part to the way the rear sits. So if you cant find these springs but you want a nice stance, try to find a set that drops the rear a little more than the front. I love the fact the rear has only .25" more wheel gap than the front, to me thats perfect.
