It gets to a point where the brand name really doesn't matter on a lot of these parts as companies start to copy each other's ideas and work. For example, the Perrin PSRS came out after the Whiteline ALK was born from research of the stock geometry. Perrin still incorrectly describes what their PSRS does on the car on their website because they just copied Whiteline's idea. A strut tower bar is a strut tower bar with different toppings on it, and the rest of chassis braces, etc. follow the same idea.

As for the parts I'm missing like links, that I'm planning on getting to very soon.

Further updated with additions of the TiC SST coilovers, swaybar endlinks, and updates to product offerings.

Great write-up! Very helpful info

St-ill · 04-14-2008, 07:23 AM

ok, this is very helpful in making a decision on which brand to go with, but I have a question. If I have stock sways and struts, can I just upgrade my springs? If so what other components do I need to keep my car alligned and keep from having problems with tire wear, etc..

**SWortham** · 04-21-2008, 01:47 PM

Hey Dave, you wanna add a link to the spring rate & drop thread somewhere in your original post?

That chart is a huge help for people comparing lowering springs.

I know that's been added under Threads of Interest. Let me add it to the spring section in here, good idea.
