Susp. Questions for 500-600 DD
I plan on building my car in the range of 500-600 rwhp w/ 150shot no2. Car will see only minimal track time but will be a daily driver. First thing i want to start on is my suspension. (to avoid problems later) I dont want anything that isnt gonna actually do me some good and be worth the money...so far this is what ive got brain stormed
Koni adjustables f & r
Hotchkis Sport Spring Kit (is there a better brand out there?)
UMI Tubular 3-Point Subframe Connectors (would end up welding these in..again any better suggestions?)
anything else? I know maybe a torque arm, pan hard...etc but dont really know anything about these. suggestions appriciated!
edit: oh! and what is a good replacement for the stock f/r sway bars!?

Konis are a good place to start. IMHO I would re-use the stock springs if the car isn't going to the track all that often, unless you were looking to lower your car. After I picked up my Konis I went for some sway bars and a Ground Control spring kit since I needed the ability to adjust my ride height. I use Strano sway bars front and rear. That's all I've done to my suspension so far (other than a panhard bar just to center the rear axle), and the difference is night and day. If you're looking for some good info, you should talk to Sam Strano. He's a sponsor here, and he sells all kinds of suspension parts in addition to giving good advice on setups. www.stranoparts.com
