Looking for some help .... I need a new suspension under my car and you guys are the shiznit for helping guys like me out. So, here goes.
I needs a set of shocks and springs that can really make my car handle. I want to be able to really hug the curves and hang with the more expensive "super cars". But I can't sacrifice ride height or driveability. I can't stand a rough ride.
Next, I want the car to corner flat ... no body roll at all ... like it's on rails. But, I need responsive steering input and be able to launch really hard.
I also want a rigid suspension. Zero play or give any where so that feedback is spot on and I know what the car is doing under me. But I can't have it loud or squeaky. I can't stand to hear all those rattles in older cars.
Next I want to really stiffen the chassis with SFCs and STBs. I know the body flexes and I want to keep the car from showing signs of that. But I have to keep the weight of the car down to a bare minimum.
And I got to have better brakes. All this stuff is gonna make me so much faster, so I gotta be smart and realize I still am gonna have to stop at some point. So awesome brakes are a must. But I can't have my shiny rims all covered in brake dust. Gotta look good, you know.
Finally, I don't have very much money. So can you guys tell me where I can get all this stuff for almost free? I know that site sponsors help keep this place going and also answer a lot of retarded questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, but I'm special and really don't care if they can feed their own families. This is about me, you know?
So, any help is greatly appreciated.

You are in luck! I have a brand new prototype chassis that that is constructed of a never before seen, or even heard of, space age alloy. With out letting my trade secrets become public, I can tell it is a propietary blend of unobtainium, dreams, and fairy powder. See, the unobtainium is super stong, the dreams act as a special sound suppressant and the fairy powder makes hydrogen seem heavy. Our customers will enjoy knowing they are on the cutting edge of technology. Not only will the fortunate few be able to out accelerate a top fuel car but also out handle a Formula 1 car.
Now I know what you're thinking. How can I have all this performance and not give up any driveability? The answer is R&D. We have spent billions of dollars researching every component on our new Miracle Chassis to bring you the next level of driving.
We are currently taking orders for the Miracle Chassis. If you have to ask how much, then this extraordinary product is not for you. Pay Pal users add 3%.

You know I know the purpose of this thread is in good fun, but really not everyone is up on these cars and as they get older and cheaper this is even going to be more of the case. Now you could make the arguement that search is your friend and I'd agree with you but sometimes new members are just trying to be social and ask newbie questions. Is it frustrating to see the same thread over and over....? yeah it can be but sometimes even those threads produce good new information.
People ask me for help and still buy AGX's, are they stupid?...yeah I think so but the fact they are putting 700 into shocks (300 for the AGX's and at least 400 for the shocks they replace them with) means they like cars and thats why we are here.
**** I've been here for years and learn something new all the time.

Start with shocks....Koni SA is a good choice. Next, a set of Strano sway bars, and a good Panhard Bar with harder bushings and a set of Lower Control arms that arent stamped steel and have decent bushings. Keep your stock springs. No ride height issues that way.

I'm actually quite new around here and search seems to be yielding over 2000 threads on this subject and I can't seem to find the answer that my eyes really want to see.
I really want that chassis, but I must demand that first that it meets or exceeds a torsional stiffness of over 5,000,000,000 Nm/degree, fits 8 people, all while weighing less than 200kg, oh and not to forget, it must have a lateral excelleration of at least 20g's.
Just to inform you that I hope that if a background check is necessary, I run a conglomerate who's primary source of income deals with pharmaceuticals sold directly on the street through extremely well skilled independent associates which ensure a 100% guaranteed profit, regardless of client satisfaction. Other industries through our holdings are included but not limited to black market arms trading, insurgency training, sweatshop labour, clandestine nuclear material enrichment, WMD stockpiling, prostitutional arts, shylocks, and others to come.
Now I understand that production will be limited to 10, however my guess will probably be 9, since it's a foregone conclusion that at 2 of the vehicles will have been destroyed along with their test drivers, so I am prepared.
And if it's not too much trouble, please put me in line as soon as you get this, and hopefully hold my place until my order is received. Not to be demanding, but it gets kind of old being only second to that guy in that small country with nothing but liquid gold.

I've found that putting a mixture of parts for different uses on the car really balance it out and give it that all purpose feel.
Personally I like to use the stock decarbons up front as they really have a cushy feel but put a LG coilover with rod ends in the back, it really helps alot.
I also like to put the V6 cars swaybars in cause it saves alot of weight and those bigger swaybars are just expensive and overrated. Wide tires are phat though yo! So make sure you get some seriously wide and big wheels, at least 19s.
A strut tower brace really stiffened my car up alot to and they are super mad cheap. I like that one you can get in neon green cause it makes my engine look brighter. I also like that bolt in 4 pt rollcage it really stiffened things up I also drilled a bunch of holes in the tubes with my drill to keep it light, it makes my car look really fast, like a real racecar.
Those rotors with those holes in them and little slots really help because they're like so much lighter, and when I painted my calipers it really helped release the heat in the brake system better and I stopped way quicker.
This is just what I did and it works great, hope this helps out.

I have owned my car for over seven years, started out lurking on ls1.com but found much better information here and just recently joined and started posting. Even after reading for years I learn new things all the time also. Truth be told, I have not even scratched the surface of handling so I would be the last person to point fingers.
