Look into the search function with the terms better suspension. Upgrading suspension. Suspension, etc.....

It's all going to depend on how your car is going to be driven.

www.colemanracing.com . If the car is going to be driven on the street... order springs from coleman and struts of your choice. The springs will lower the car while the performance struts will give it a more aggressive feel. If you are looking for a racing suspension...repost and ill give you more information via PM

I just bought a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs and Tokico HP struts all around for my 84 GS. I'll let you know how that goes.

Yeah you can call "those" guys too... damn competition...

I am pretty stoked on the R&P kit they developed. If I didn't have so much money invested into my TC rods and Control arms I would get the kit. Although I am not to keen on the Flaming river 15:1 rack.

I am researching a rack and I think I found a rear steer rack with 2.4 turns LTL. I just need to double check the lengths.

The other thing that I am not keen on is the lack of rubber/urethane motor mounts.

But hey its a bolt in solution and I am happy that I can support respeed with my money.

sorry alittle OT

The Kit includes a urethane engine bushing. Aluminum hard mount is an optional part.
