Ready to start buying suspension parts soon.
 
Looked around a little within this section and didn't find much explanation on what's needed, I'm about to be ready to turn off 4x4 mode and start buying suspension parts. I have 20"s on 285/30/20 in the back and 255/35/20 in the front. I'm thinking about a 1.25 or 1.5 drop. Opinions? What all will I need to do it right and get it to align and keep the pinion angle in spec? Besides springs, shocks and struts I know I'll need an adjustable phb, what else? Thanks.

BMR and/or whiteline

/thread

I got a really good deal on a bunch of BMR stuff a while back and it rides great. Still on stock shocks/struts though for the time being. UCA and mount since you're already going to be under there.

Depends how much money you want to spend... LCAs are also a good idea.

If it were me? I would do Eibach sportlines, adjustable konis, GT500 strut mounts, Eibach Camber bolts, BMR phb, BMR LCAs and relo brackets, BMR adjustable UCA. Talk to Jayman and im sure he can get you a package under your budget.

Here's what I've got.. Prices are approximations. I can't remember exactly....

Sportlines - $250
Koni Yellows - $700
GT500 Strut Mounts - $100
Adj Panhard Bar - $150
Camber Bolts - $35

BMR springs, Whiteline adj UCA, BMR LCAs, Tokico D-Spec shocks and struts or Koni Yellows, BMR, Freedom Racing or Whiteline adj PHB, and also get the FRPP Jounce Kit from Latemodel. They are shorter and harder bump stops to prevent bottoming out when you lower the car.

Got your pm brother. Some good recommendations. I too would recommend Whiteline for your UCA and PHB. BMR makes good products but I prefer WL as I've been truly impressed with their product and customer service.

Whiteline is great, I run their sway bars, LCA's and PHB, all adjustable. I am running BC Racing coilovers which i like for the adjustability.

Thanks for all the input. I guess I will go with whiteline although it's a little more than I want to spend. I'm assuming with everything essentially except ride height being adjustable I will be able to improve traction a bit?

Jayman will hook you up. Great guy to deal with.

Traction will improve some. The whiteline stuff is great and customer service is outstanding. BMR has good stuff too but not as familiar with their customer service but I hear good things.

Kelly at BMR is awesome, was very helpful when I emailed him and was quick to respond.

I plan on going Eibach Pro as I have with all my cars. Never had a complaint with this setup.

But there are much better options for these cars than many others.

Luke 05-31-2013 02:01 PM

I can vouch for the BMR springs on these cars but I never had complaints with Eibach's that I've had on the foxbody cars I've owned. If you end up with adj. struts and shocks I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you choose.
