Suspension mods?

[E Dogg]

OK, I have searched but have found no info that answers my question directly. I just got my 91 Fastback (hicas) running and it's suspeinson is as follows: All stock- shocks, springs, bushings, tension rods, etc are all in decent enough shape an everyday peron would not replace them. i know i will be replacing all of them eventually, but my question is what suspeinson mod will be the most benificial? I dont have the cash to do all of it at once so I have to make each mod count.

The biggest bang for the buck is to get into a good set of tires and maybe wheels. Tires for sure. Next would be springs/dampers. I would wait and do those at the same time as $$ allows. There's no point in having to do the same labor twice.

my tires are pretty sad... What size wheel/tire would you suggest? ( i dont really care about looks as much as performance)

BTW: this is not my dialy driver and I dont plan on dirving in snow ever, or very much rain...

as far as tires, you'll want to go to a fair tire shop, find a new tire in the OE size and then try to keep the same overall hight no matter what size rim you choose, say you go from a 15"x7" to a 17"x7", where the 15" had a 205-60-15" youll like be around a 205-40 or 45-17", and for the width, just remember clearence issuse and if you mainly run drag or street drage w/ just general street, you may want to go to a 225-45-17" or 235-40-17",,, however for a general street car with exeptional cornering you may want a 195-50-17" or a 205-45-17",,, but again, pay attention to clearence and overall hight with out air or weight...

hope this helps you and or anyone else X

my best results were going to a private shop, since they really need the $$$, they will usually let you check and re check tire size as much as you want if they think it will close a deal..(no offense intended to any dealers) sorry

you try that at my shop, I'll tell you to take it elsewhere bro. Dont wase an installers time doing crap like that, please. Get something your pretty sure will fit and go from there.

theres more than enough information on this forum to answer all your questions, E_dogg. seriously.-chet
