Well, Im not sure if i really need to do anything with my suspension but I was wondering if i should anyways. I dont want to spend a lot of money on this aspect because i dont track the car or autocross. I drive the car on the street and occasionally get into a drag race. I Dont want to spend the money and upgrade to coilovers, because i feel that I wont use them to their potential. I have already replaced all pillowball bushings, and i have 5 way adjustable tokico shocks (came on the car 2 years ago). Other then that the suspension is stock from the R1 model. I was thinking of just replacing the springs to reduce squating when drag racing, and to lower the center of gravity. I dont want to ruin the handling of the car by going with a garbage product though. I am only looking for minimal improvements in performance and to reduce some of the slop.

Well guys, what should i do?

I dont want to list all my mods, because there is a huge list of them so:
t78 single
kazz diff
all supporting mods
stock rims
bfg drag radials (most of the time)

thanks in advance, and sorry if you guys feel this is newb!!

You WANT the car to squat when drag racing!

Anyway, just do a search on springs, there are many, many threads. Any of the big name brand lowering springs will work and won't likely be considered too rough on the street.

 

thanks rynberg, I can understand wanting the car to squat a little bit when drag racing, but you do actually want to reduce most of it. Because when drag racing you get a lot of weight transfer to the rear wheels and if your springs are to soft you use power on front end lifting. If you have a nice sticky tire on the car and can get the thing to just take off, thats the best way to have it. Again thanks.

Also, if im not getting any noise or clunking from the suspension bushings, do you feel i should change them?
