New suspension 2000 ta
Can anyone help me out here? Not mechanical inclined, don't have the tools. I can finally get a new suspension which I am pretty sure I need. My main concern I think is raising the height a little more. With the tires I have and the fact that the right front part of my long tube header to the road is about the width of my hand. Can you help me pick out a suspension kit to fix this? Theres a suspension kit to raise this...correct? The suspension I have now is edlebrock over 15 years old probably longer and I think it lowered my height, I don't think there adjustable. My tech should be able to tell me if its lower then stock height right? Plus my new front 245/40 isn’t helping. I want a street driven set up where I do not get knocking sounds over bumps or minimize it and I can still take it to the drag strip of course. I don't care what I have to get to stop the bumping noises or minimize them. I am gonna take your check list to my tech but I am probably still going to get a new suspension. I think about 2 or three years ago he said my suspension was still good but I want to raise it and I don't want the goddamn bumping noises. I was thinking the Bilstein package. The S60 I got installed I think needs to be considered as well, I think I mentioned to you before about the thump I get in the back over a bump after it was installed. Raising it would be the right thing to do…correct?In my situation I would have to get adjustable unless its not lowered right now, which I am sure it is….correct? The Bilstein should raise it back to stock height….correct?

My car is noisy as hell, it's a race car for the street. But when it was less race oriented, I didn't really have a lot of noise over bumps with the S60, and that's with aftermarket control arms and an aftermarket torque arm.
Haaaa...Do you get a thump sound right in the middle back end when you go over a bump or bridge with a dip at about 40 mph or more? It sounds the same every time.
