Best Bang for Buck Rear Suspension Mods?

[RazorGTP]

I just got my Racestars in and will be getting 17" Hoosiers and 18x5's upfront. What rear suspension mods would you recommend for the track that won't break the bank? I will be doing road trips with the car too so don't want to lose street-ability etc.

Lower control arms and relo brackets.

Looking into trying to add traction for the street myself.
How important are upgrading the Upper control arm mounts? I thought I read somewhere that for the 2013-2014 they beefed them up and it wasn't as important.

Is there any advantage to using the relocation brackets on a stock height 2013 with Performance Package? Non Adjustable Poly BMR lower control arms.

Well in my instance, when I went to aftermarket arms (Steeda), the geometry was no longer correct - in other words, in the OEM location, the arms aimed down slightly from axle to body. I had to get relo's to correct that.

Lower control arms and relo brackets.

That alone will help hook up? What brands should I look into and there happen to be a write up for the install anywhere you know of?

BMR suspension has instructions. Well, they did for my 05. It's pretty easy to do in a couple of hours.

I have upper / lower control arms and panhard bar. I have relo brackets but took them off as I didn't need them with stock height.

That's a good point. my car had springs installed to lower the car. I also put the 2008 bullet rear shock tower brace and the adjustable pan hard.

So this is all I should need to notice a good difference? http://m.bmrsuspension.com/?page=products&productid=995

Yes, you will want to mount it in the center hole.

Does BMR fit the 2013-2014 track pack coupes? I was looking into upgrading the suspension on my 13' but on bmr website it says 07-10 in the description.

05-14 everything should fit. Van at revan racing spec'd mine out. I went head to toe. Everything except drive shaft loop which I need now. Lol. Installed it all and the 4 wheel laser alignment to factory specs and my car drives like a million dollar sports car! Best money I have spent on my car by far. BMR is a vendor on the site shoot them a message.

Wow nice! I'm just doing my research right now but when I'm ready to place an order I'll contact them. Do I even need the relocation brackets if I plan to keep the stock ride height?

Some do, some dont. Like mentioned above, in my case, even with stock springs, I needed the relo's.

If you look in the parts for sale section there are some deals to be had on new stuff. or slightly used. the BMR stuff IMHO is really bullet proof and great quality finish and fit.

Excellent, thanks for the info fellas, much appreciated!
