fixture Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I am going to set my car up for the track and wanted to get everyones thought on what suspension setup to have. I currently have koni adjustables with eibach springs. I am going to have a roll cage installed as well as sway bars. I assume camber plates, poly bushings, strut bars. Anything else to help with body roll and traction? Fixture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else to help with body roll and traction? Fixture I would sell the eibachs and spring for a set of Ground Control coil overs. Once you get the sticky tires on there the Eibachs will duck and squat far to much. Plus all your camber plates and such your on the right track. Dont forget brakes, its nice to stop as well as accelerate. a good set of Porterfield Pads will slow you down nice and quick. As long as your on that route go for SS brake lines as well.

patra_is_here Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 ^^^ what he said. also, which koni's are you using? unless they are race struts, i have doubts about their ability to handle the higher spring rates you'll need to run for a track car. wider sticky tires would help a lot as well, obv.

I would advise the same, except you should seriously consider the mookeh full bodied coilovers over any slip on type. Much more adjustment and the ability to go WAY lower than any slip on coilover, while actually have dampers made for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Oh I agree with you, those large diameter struts look beefy as all get out. I cant bring myself to replace my setup after all the R&D I put into it. But having that bolt on HP setup is very cool now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Yeah, I hear ya.. The only reason I bring it up, is that I spent about as much on my coilovers/struts/camber plates as the complete Mookeh units cost.. I really like how mine handles, but I think i'll be going with the Mookeh's since i'm going in a different direction(Mookeh and airbag combo)..

If anyone complains about the price of that setup he has has never built a suspension ground up before lol And the fact his includes new spindles and everythingthing at the price is pretty damn good.
