What is your currrent suspension setup?
Is it comfortable?
Is it comfortable?
This is my combo.
Bullitt Rear springs
Tokico 5 way adjustable drag shocks
Moroso/Competition engineering Double adjustable uppers
Pro3i Weight jacker lowers
Detroit TruTrac Diff 3.31 gears
MRC Custom anti Roll Bar
175# Front coilover springs
Strange 10way adjustable front struts
Car rides amazing v ery comfortable. Rear end is silent, and suspension rides better then an IRS. But with the adjustability and the front sway bar removed the car has 60 ft 1.4s this was before the tubular front end and coilovers up front.
Rear: MM HD torque arm, pan hard, adjustable rear sway, HD adjustable LCA's no uppers, bushing kit, h&r 400# rear springs, tokico illuminas, & full length sub frames.
Front: MM swaybar w/ end links/bushings/relo kit, MM bump steer kit, MM solid steering shaft (best mod you can buy IMO for cornering feel), MM steering rack bushings, and MM caster camber plates.
I had the above setup on my car when it had the blower in and it was a blast to drive the funnest car I have ever driven/owned. The torque arm is amazing it just makes the car hook in a straight line and neutral as you throttle steer through the corners. Around town the car feels tight (like a Mercedes/BMW it feels super solid) soaks up bumps easily (because w/ the torque arm you get no binding in the rear and no shimmy when you go over overpass/hwy seems) and for a daily driver it was way more forgivable then my fully built '01 IRS car with a complete MM delrin setup in it, SRA is way more forgiving and neutral under cornering IMHO.
What were you pushing with this setup? I've been having extreme problems with traction and this looks like a glimmer of hope. I don't mind running Nitto's but the other DR's are not friendly to daily driving.
Most of what I have heard from others in regards to traction issues is "run stickier tires". That's fine but it does not address the inadequacies of the rear suspension, a real part of the problem.
Either way, I'll certainly be adding the torque arm and panhard in a couple months.
