Default Hows This Suspension Set-up?

Just wondering if this suspension setup would be any good.

Have Right Now....
-BMR STB
-BMR Springs(Not Installed Yet)
-Stock Decarbons

Thinking About Getting....
-BMR Tubular Lower Control Arms
-BMR Bolt-On Relocation Brackets
-BMR Adjustabe Panhard
-BMR Tubular Subframe Connectors
-Possably Air Lift Air Bags

Would this set-up be good for me if I decide to go with some Hooker LTs with ORY, Heads, Cam in the future. Maybe around 400 HP Area? Just give me an idea of what hp this set-up would be good for or if it is good at all.

hi dude,
by saying "good" is too vague.
you have to get more specific to get better answers.
for example, is your main goal drag racing?
autocross? open -tracking? aggressive street driving?
once you give us that info, you'll get more responses.
good luck!!

I would 1st get a good set of shocks to go with those springs with that kind of HP.


.....shocks are a VERY important part of handling <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Mostly just a street car. Some days at the track. Torque are is going to come when I add the power adders. No real power yet, just setting up the suspesion first. Power adders later to come sometime.

Hals will help...dial 'em to 1-2 in front, 4 on the lrear 5 rrear and you'll hook great off the line. 5-6 all the way around and you will feel real stable.

Get better shocks then you will be set. The Decarbons will blow out in a few months (I know this from EXSPERIENCE <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> ). The car will start to bounce on even the slightest bump in the road.
