hello all. I am in the process of putting some bolt ons on my 02 ws6. after those are finished, i am thinking i should beef up the suspension before i do a h/c swap. My question is where should i start? it is my dd (besides snow). and will make about 8 trips to the strip a year. im not rich so i will be doing things 1 at a time. already have a strut brace but thats all.

thanks in advance.

I think you should mention what your trying to do with the car, but a quality shock will sure help. Either bilsteins or koni

you wont see much from the strut brace.

if you want a street performer, shocks springs and swaybars for the win.

if you want drag performance get lower control arms, torq arm and panhard rod.

belive it or not subframe connectors stiffen the car up nicely for street and strip.

but if your asking what part of the suspension is weak? I would say most all of it lol.

f bodys are some heavy bitches and the stock suspension/brakes were not really up to the job

sorry, i want a nice street ride, but it will hit the strip a few times. i guess i am looking for a good starting point... and what about kyb shocks?

thanks again.

Your 10-bolt is the weakest link. Push it too hard on the strip or even the street and you'll be getting towed home.
You can find all the info you want on the KYB shocks if you enter that in the search box.

the ws6 store sells kyb adjustable shocks.how many miles on the car?

If I was only going to do 3 mods to the suspension of my car it would be. Bilstein shocks, tubular LCA's, and a adj. PHB.

car has 98k on it. i was saying the KYB shocks because they seem like a great shock on a budget.

I don't know what KYB's your looking at, but I had tried a set of th KYB GR2's since I was on a budget. They were complete crap and a waste of money, I should have just spent the money on a quality shock the first time.

Bilsteins or Koni's are the way to go. In my case I went Bilstein front and Koni rear.

Any f-body will benefit from subframe connectors and lower control arm relocation brackets.

I've done it all so.....
