Looking to upgrade my suspension..

[5.4 speedster]

My current suspension mods are eibach springs and maximum motorsports non adj control arms. I'd like to stick with the springs I have. My car is a 95 vert and I am expecting numbers in the mid 700's.
The car is not a daily driver but I am not looking to turn it into a straight line only kind of car. I'd like to have a car that handles well but I'd like to be able to put the power to the ground. At this time I am not interested in going with coilovers.
Any ideas?
adj struts and shocks?
throw bilsteins on and just make the time up at the end of the race?

i have steeda stage 1 and 2 set up on mine now, i really like it. id get some adjustables for all 4 corners, upgrade the upper control arms, maybe throw some termy lowers on the front, solid rack bushings.. all the normal stuff should tighten it up.

I once read in order to put pwr to the ground you need springs, LCA's and SFC's. Those are your main 3 contributers.

any suggestions on struts and shocks? strange? lakewood?
thoughts on ditching the upper control arms in favor of a panhard?

You still need uppers with a panhard, it only controls side to side.

To get rid of uppers you need a Torque Arm and panhard.

I would recommend both.

i have tockios... i love them, im sure bilstens koni will be just the same.

I know bilsteins really turn the car into a corner carving machine (which I love) but won't they hinder launches quite a bit? I guess I just want it all ya know?

I'm torn between Bilsteins and Tokico. To save some money I will probably do the Tokico's. I don't go to the track but once/twice a year. I'm basically running a over powered grocery getter.

which MM springs are you running, I just ordered the standard duty ones. I'm thinking they should be enough.

 

[5.4 speedster]

I am running max control arms and eibach pro kit springs

 

[98KBCobraVert]

extreme duty or standard control arms?

 

[5.4 speedster]

extreme duty

Before you get into the setup you need dampers to match your springs, what eibachs they are I don't know but the Tokico D-spec adjustables should do good for you

Well if you can overcome having your chassis choped/welded onto I suggest:

1. Welded full length subframe connectors (while you are doing that reinforce the torque boxes because they are a weak point in the chassis)

2. Panhard Bar or Watts Link

3. Tri-link or Torque Arm to eliminate the crap job 4 link set-up and turn it into a 3 link

 

[5.4 speedster]

I have full length max motorsports sub frames already.
Id love to do the max motorsports panhard/tq arm but how will that work for street racing? I know it kicks ass on the roadcourse though

Stampede is right. I am getting close to having my MM panhard bar installed right now...hopefully by tomorrow night. I have Tokico Illumina adjustable shocks/struts and they work well for going from the drag strip to the street to the road course. If you really want to spend the money on some top notch ones, get the Koni adjustables.
