Im going to go with Sam Stranos handling package, not sure if Im going with the revalve Bilsteins or KOni 4/3 but in either case I have a 12 Bolt Moser now and I was wondering if anyone has gone this route and have pics. Right now the car sits very high and I wanted to see what people thought after they did the suspension mods and what it looks like.

Thanks

Sam

I have it , Moser 12 bolt, GC coilover fronts. and sam's rears. The shocks are Koni 2X adj's The car was way high in the rear with the stock 1LE springs, now it is perfect. Sorry no pics.
you will need the Sphon rear swaybar install kit to get the rear bar in correctly. I will have to add LCA relocation brackets and My arm angle is way off.

I'll try to get some pictures tonight. I have a Moser 12-bolt with Hotchkis springs and 4th gen Koni SA's. Should be somewhat similar.

Thanks guys, so I have to get the Rear sway bar kit to be able to add the larger rear sway bar? I have the 1LE Swaybar that is 21mm and that is on with this Rear. It looks like they are mounted fine. I didnt do the install so maybe they have a kit on it already. Or will Sam's 22mm Rear sway bar not fit?
Or should I even change the sway bars since I have the SLP Level One suspension with the 1LE swaybars. I will leave the LCA that I got with this kit but I never got LCA brackets to realign. Should I do that?

OK:

Here is a link to the pictures I took under the car tonight.

Here is a link to what it looks like on the ground.

If you need specific shots of anything underneath, let me know, but quickly. I'd like to get it off the jackstands, so I can drive it to work tomorrow.

FYI, that is the stock rear swaybar with the stock mounting brackets and the upgraded aluminum cover. It's a tight fit, but I haven't had ANY issues with the swaybar bumping the cover.

Hope that helps.

That helps a lot, I think I have the same mounthing brackets with the 21mm sway bar. Its a tight fit too but I don't think it is a problem, I wonder if I put the 22mm sway bar if Ill need the 12 bolt spacer mounts.
Thanks a lot, that was cool of you to take those pics.

I ran the 1LE rear swaybar with the stock brackets on my 10-bolt, but I didn't like the way it made the car understeer, so I swapped back to the stock 19mm. The only thing I had to swap out to make the 21mm bar fit was the D-bushings and the endlinks. Some people have also used slightly shorter endlinks, to rotate the bar down a little in relation to the differential cover. Just something to consider.

Thanks!

I have Sam's front and rear swaybars, but I don't use his springs. I'm running a coilover setup on the front and the rear. So, I can set my ride height any way I want to on the car. If you lower the car with springs, you will have to address the saddles that hold the sway bar to the 12 bolt and the endlinks will need to be correct so you don't put the rear bar in a bind. I have my car lowered down quite a bit (about 3" drop all the way around) and I use the SPOHN saddles on my MOSER 12 bolt with Strano's endlinks and the bar installed beautifully on the front and rear. I'm very happy with Sam's quality !

Here some pics:

Thats what I was thinking!

But wow, 3" drop? Wow much travel is left?

96silverram

iTrader: (12)

There is basically no much travel left at 3" of drop. I just set it at that height for the street because it looks good. At the track it would definitely have to come back up to something reasonable, like 1 1/2" drop (just raise the coilovers at all four corners). Thanks for the comps, just wanted to post a pic so NJGunslinger can see what the 12 bolt with the strano bar.

Cajun Firehawk,
This car would be lucky if it was a weekend driver I doubt I've put 10 miles on the car in 2 years



Disturbed bird,
I did not have a chance to put the custom exhaust back on the car.

NJ Gunslinger,
I have the SPOHN saddle brackets (chromed) for my MOSER rearend and BMR's Extreme LCA's

Thanks for the comps everybody
