good combo?

BMX_STI · 05-02-2008, 03:13 PM

so here's what im thinking for my suspension setup for the time being.

*cobb front and rear sway bars.
*RCE yellows for springs.
*kartboy front and rear endlinks.

im thinking this is a good setup to start with. im going with rce's since i've read they're a good start for later down the road if i wanna go with better struts such as ohlins? any opinions or anyone running this setup or something close to it?

I would go with whiteline sways, IMO. Cobb's are a little to small for me. and you dont really need the front endlinks, from experience. They'll just add more noise.

good combo? well that all depends on what you want to do with the car. Be a little more specific, and you'll get better feedback.

haha, i knew i forgot something. Definitely a daily driver but want it to handle a little better. The car has never been tracked and it might be a little while before i do. And of course i want it lowered a little, better stance, you know? I guess i kind of figured this might be a good setup for how i drive without going overboard.

So the front links might be overkill huh? How about the rears, worth doing while im doing the sways at the same time?

just ordered RCE yellows.......................

mgsm666 · 05-03-2008, 02:04 PM

in that case, yes - good combo. Although as Tyler said, I would probably go with whitelines also:

I'd recommend 22-26 rear, and 24-26 front. I think the 27/29 is too big for daily driving, and the others give you plenty of room to play with the settings.

Should be a great setup.

as far as the links...........is the rear worth doing? and with the whitelines, did you guys do with the better mounting kits also?

mgsm666 · 05-03-2008, 06:09 PM

Endlinks: DEFINITELY worth getting the rears...

Mounting kit: designed for WRX's with crappier mounting points - you don't need it.

+1 for everything mgsm666 has adviced so far.

BMX_STI · 05-03-2008, 07:44 PM

right on, thank you guys for all the information!

Hitman83 · 05-03-2008, 07:47 PM

Cobb bars aren't very stiff. I think you'll be happier with a whiteline 24/27mm combo

BMX_STI · 05-03-2008, 07:54 PM

where did you guys go to get your whitelines? i was looking at rally sport direct. any other suggestions?

**tyler_sti** · 05-03-2008, 07:58 PM

I would highly suggest used bars. Their sold for really good prices. And its a solid bar of metal that you'll rarely see. Used FTW!

BMX_STI · 05-03-2008, 08:01 PM

a used one! but it will be scratched!!

good call. i'll look around
