Ok guys I will be soon beginning my "mother of all builds" and so I'm trying to figure out what kind of suspension I want to go with. I might track the car every now and then but it will mostly be a weekend Supra Slayer and backroad warrior. I want a suspension that is stiff and can get power to the ground but I dont want to bounce everywhere I go and feel like a small pothole is the Grand Canyon. Any suggestions?

Importance:
Quality
Handling
Stance
Price <$2000

I'm currently looking at the Powertrix Race series

Or the Fortune Auto 500 Series

a good place to start is looking in the general part of the forum, under everything you need to know about the z32. i believe there is a big excell file there that lists maybe 50 different combination of suspension components and their results.

I am running the Powertrix UltraLite Coils and I LOVE them. Highly recommend anything in the Powertrix lineup. Charles is a great guy too, and will do whatever he can to take care of you. EXCELLENT company.

Is says custom spec options, that means custom specs for the cars they do make them for, which are these cars.

Well I suppose that narrows down my choices lol. BTW I did go look in the mega thread and I saw the spreadsheet for suspension parts, it was helpful but not the firsthand kind of reviews I was hoping for.

@Z31toZ32- it was you I saw up at RameyZ correct? What area do you live in? You need to come to a few meets and car shows down in Kentucky..

I have megan coilovers and I love em.The ride quality is a little rough but thats to be expected and the quality of them is very good. I have no experience with anything else tho so I am biased as is probably everyone in here.
