I am trying to figure out what the best set up would be for very spirited street driving. This is on a stock bodied car with factory 2.0 fuchs. Will be sticking with 4 lug. Here is what I was thinking. Rebuild front and rear calipers and install Good brake pads. Install crossdrilled rotors. Make sure the MC is in good working order and if not replace with Original. Install "T" in place of proportioning valve. FRONT-- Install new 21mm front torsion bars. Install properly grooved and greased softer PG Bushings along with zirk fittings on front A-arms. Install new Bilstein Sport inserts. REAR-- Install new Bilstein sports with coil over kit and 200lb springs. Install properly grooved and greased softer PG Bushings along with zirk fittings on rear trailing arms. Replace all front and rear stock sway bar bushings with new OEM. Buy, balance and install 4 new 205/60-15 tires and allign. Corner balance. Check and repalce any other wear items that might need it like ball joints and wheel bearings.
Did I miss anything? Are the 200 pound springs too much? should I go with progressive 180lb. Am I all wrong?? What do you suggest??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Let him screw around. His idea of sharp handling may be very different from yours. Driveability is a tough call, and it's generally up to the driver. I.E., some people can clutchless shift their teenr for almost a flippin' month now because I don't have time, or the willingness to jump under there and adjust it.
I also do aluminum mount for engine, trans, etc., which other people find very very annoying (with the noise) |
