Default This is for Chris B.

Hey Chris, you dont know me but you know a friend of mine that went to Baylor, Roger B with a red prelude. He suggested you as the formost expert with Fbody suspension. Anyway, I just bought a 02 Z and the suspension mods I have done so far are in the sig. I am more geared to street/road racing than on the strip.

My question to you is...if you had the car what would you do with it suspension wise. I have planned on getting LCA brakets, LCA's and a torque arm. Not sure what struts to do, most likely Hals? I am just getting tired of getting my *** kicked out of the hole and having to play catchup but I am also on stock RSA's (this will change to 17x11 ZR1's with 315 DR's next week. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Jeff

Those drag radials will make a HUGE difference out of the hole. Just switching to the stock 16" size nittos from RSAs made a vast difference in getting out of the hole.

I would do the tires, subframe connectors (SFC)and some LCAs. BMR's stuff is as good as anybody's and several sponsors carry them at good prices. After those 3 mods, consider whether you can move on to HP mods.
