looks good. if you really care about tuning the suspension i would get whiteline sway bars since they're adjustable. im assuming this is more of a grip setup?

[pull'nslide]

Yea, This will go on a daily driver, well I have a back up car but this will be driven a lot, I plan to take it to a few drift event as well as the drag strip once and awhile but yes, grip was the focus.Anything else I need or dont? You think the Tie rods will be needed and also, do you have any bushing recommendations? I heard of a better choice then energy suspension but dont remember the name.

[tamdo714]

you pretty much named everything on a car's suspension good job. now put what brand and such you are going to buy.

[pull'nslide]

I listed brands^^^Tell me what you think, can you recommend a better brand?

[tamdo714]

Kaaz or Nismo 1.5 LSD- i would go with kaazStance coilovers- good i have these excellent choiceJIC Magic Tie rod ends- spl for me, because they seem to be a+++SPL V2 Tension rods- i'm going with theseSLP RUCA’s- i have these, they are good qualityPeak Performance Toe links (rear)- going with spl againFront/Rear strut brace- i have cusco w/ triangle rear bar, looks goodSuspension Techniques or White Line F/R sway bar- go w/ whitelines adjustableSPL Tie rods- i'm going with this tooGreg Dupree Subframe spacers- i have spl ones good alsoNismo power brace- good pretty much everyone usesSuspension bushings- energy no questions asked

[pull'nslide]

The only reason I picked JIC Magic Tie rod ends and Peak Performance Toe links is because I could not find SPL ones, are they there on there site?Anyone else?

[pull'nslide]

o, I had spl tie rods and then tie rod ends, I'm gonna just get the ends, throw the other ones outta here.

I cant really find SPL Tie Rods so I'm gonna go with Peak Performance Inner Tie Rods instead, and I also cant find SPL toe links so I think I'll go with peak performance Pillow Toe Rods, what do you think?

i think you're baller

[pull'nslide]

ha, thanks. So do you think those r good replacement choices? I'm just gonna get rid of the tie rod and just get the tie rod ends.

Funny how you're listing all these blang blang super sweet suspension links, but my money's on you dialing in a stock alignment with those bad boys...

OK OK I'm done being a hater. Your list of goodies looks nice, but you should probably be snooping around for good alignment settings once you have all these shiny bits installed!

[pull'nslide]

yea I know, I'm gonna go to a SR shop by me for some help after install. Its gonna be daily driven for awhile but then I will do some adjusting myself as well as when I take it to some drift events for fun.

[AmoebAssassin]

You don't need to take it to an engine shop to get it aligned!

Set your ride height as desired with those sweet coilovers, and then drive IMMEDIATELY to a respectable alignment/tire shop.

[pull'nslide]

Well I'm gonna go to the shop to pic up the coilovers and all so I'll see how it works out. Anyone else?

I see no mention of tires, which are the most important part of a good setup.

[AmoebAssassin]

Traditionally, the first thing you decide on is a tire, a number of which will perform satisfactorily on a track, road, drag strip, etc. -- wherever you choose to perform.

Then, you look at tire data, and see how the tire reacts to camber, slip angle, tire temperature, etc. etc., and you set up your suspension to really make the tire you've chosen shine.

A good tire is worthless without a good setup, and a good setup is worthless without a matching tire. It's not about which is more important, it's about how they work together. The most successful racers in history have done so by exploiting their tires' using their setups.

[pull'nslide]

I use to have tires in mind but then got overwhelmed looking them up and all. If you have any recommendations plz post, I'll post what I can come up with some time tomorrow.

[chitownguy]

Kumho MX, Hankook RS2, Falken Azenis, Advans...many tires out there but depends on what you want to use them for.
