Budget, Susp options
Budget, Susp options Hate to ask since yeah I've done all the mods to my 30th but I did them all at once and didn't do one at a time.
It is a cruiser that I love. Susp, is PHB, LCAs, BMR strut tower, BMR SFCs, and BMR sway bar.
So with a limited budget I'd like to know what direction I should go on my vert.
Stock shocks, stock cut springs, stock TQ arm, stock cut springs up front and stock shocks.
OK got just a few hundred in budget but want bang for budget.
For sure getting rear bilsteins, so question is do I get springs, TQ arm, or LCA relocation brackets?
I do have a TQ urethane bushing already in and I did swap in once my UMI TQ arm and loved the feel.
I am leaning to the TQ arm and the rear shocks and maybe relocate brackets. I wish I could do it all like I did before but finances are not as they used to be.
I know they are all important but it is what it is...

For all around handling, performance and ride quality I would do springs and relocation brackets next. If your car is already lowered without relocation brackets, then your traction is suffering now. Those 2 things together will make the most noticeable difference for the money. I would definitely plan on doing Bilsteins either way. They are arguably the best all around shocks for a daily driven vehicle.
Thanks, I ordered the bilsteins this morning. Hmm really relocation brackets first? Traction not an issue for me since its rare to go above 4k or dump it at the line. I just remember what it felt to have the TQ arm in it and how nice the shifting felt.
I will take your advise.

im lowered with hotchkis springs and the biggest difference i felt was replacing the lower control arms. im still on stock relo brackets. With stock lca i was wheelhopping like crazy. after the lca, my wheel hop was nearly gone. im sure with relo brackets it be better. i was lucky enough to find my lower control arms at the junkyard off of a lt1 camaro, so i got them for 40 bucks
Thanks, I have the LCAs already on the car, I bought the rear Bilsteins and reloc brackets yesterday. Not decided on springs or TQ arm. May do tq arm now and springs later since I need front bilsteins anyway. Just need to decide on spring brand.
