What suspension is this?! Please chime in!

[t_ryan]

THIS IS NOT MY CAR, I BELIEVE ITS "UNIT213'S" CAR

I am using this car because its dialed in right where I'd like mine. I'd like for you chime in and share what suspension is on the car. I'm almost positive the car has a SRA outback.

Again, my question is what suspension is he running AND what suspension will get me to that exact ride height or as close to that ride height as possible (without coilovers) on a stock IRS with the same wheels and tires? Thank you in advance for your help! :beer:

Probably a set of H&R sport springs will do that...

with or without isos? metal on metal seems sketchy to me as in itll age parts faster and may even squeak. anyone have experience with no isos and if so hows the squeak factor?

 

[starnsey]

I've removed the isolators in both my 99 GT and my current Mach 1 with IRS and I have absolutely no issues.

Also I my OW Cobra didn't have ISO's in the rear. No squeak.

Excellent thank you for the direct link! Now the question is which eibach springs and how much cut? Lol the direct link is awesome. Would you think H&R SS coils with stock isos on all 4 corners would be VERY close to that? If not how about with no isos OR factory coupe springs with 1 full coil cut and all 4 factory isos? Thanks guys I appreciate the input

Anyone else have issues with squeaking or any noise with no isos?

HR SS with ISO's should get you where you want to be. If not you could pull some ISO's out and use heater hose in its place and that will drop it a little more.

as in rubber hose? and how much would that lift the car vs nothing

 

[getTwisted]

It wont lift it enough to notice but it would stop potential, if any, noise.

Sounds good thanks for your help. Any other suggestions? What do you think about cut stock springs since they're linear I believe.

 

[getTwisted]

A lot of people go with cut stockers. I personally have no experience with them.

Car looks awesome man, now are those H&R race or H&R SS? You're running 335/35/r17 on 10.5" wide wheels out back? Which is 25.9" diameter?

 

[t_ryan]

how much lift will EACH MM iso give VS stock isos?

 

[unit213]

That car sure looks familiar.
