Do any sponsors sell full suspension kits? That way I won't have to buy piece by piece, and I can just get EVERYTHING at once.

O yes there is. If you want drag suspension, I would look at Midwest chassis,Madman,Burkhart. But if more lowered stance and handling I think Sam Strano has a badass product.

Give Lee and the crew at BMR a call. Lee and Dave are good friends. I am also friends with Kelly over there. Good group of guys out that way.

Depending on what your goals are, we can get you set-up with the correct pieces. If you can give me a call, I'll go over your goals and the necessary components with you, then I can get a estimate e-mailed to you with pricing on everything. My number is 225-673-3533.

when someone says "full suspension", I look at it the same way as someone that says "3/4 race cam"...

its a generic term they are giving to what they have.

usually, the person that says this is not the kind of guy you're going to find at a autocross... or a racetrack of any kind.

often its not a setup suspension.. its not setup for launches, or setup for autocross, or low lap times. no.. its just bolted on once and not touched.


when someone says "full suspension" I just take it as "I bought a bunch of bright red powdercoated OEM replacement parts and bolted them on my car"
THATS what "full suspension" means.

I would somewhat disagree.. I am constantly telling people that I have "full suspension" just because I dont want to go through the entire list of everything I have.

My setup is tuned, it does change depending on where and what Im doing and I do use it on the racetrack (roadcourse and AutoX).

I guess it just depends on who you are actually talking to though also..
