  • suspension stuff

    So i've ordered the WS6 hood, then after that I'll get either the borla or the SLP LM exhaust. After that though I think i'll be done with power upgrades, since 330 RWHP really should be enough for now, until i can afford to really do some dirty engine mods.

    So I think the next thing I was going to do was a full suspension upgrade. SLP has a "Level 1" package for $750, which comes with 1" lowered eibach springs, bilstein shocks, rear control arms, panhard rod, and a 32mm front anti roll bar. They say this is the same package that came on firehawks. Is this a good deal, and/or is there anything better out there I should look at? Also, is this package leaving anything out that i should consider getting?

    thats a pretty good deal............

    just a strut (shock) tower brace...... that should about do it.

    does the LCA's have poly or rubber bushings?

      How do I say this. Why go with a "level 1" upgrade that is basically upgraded stock parts rather than go ahead and get the good stuff. Do you get the "level 1" then later go to "level 2" which throws away all of the level 1 stuff? That's like throwing away $750.I've always opted not to get the bottom end parts and be left wanting more. Besides, your not going to spend a lot more getting the good stuff. Like the Hi Fi Buys commercial says, "get the good stuff". If you are looking at it because it is a package, check out these package deals.

        Yeah. Those were my thoughts exactly when I was looking through the SLP product listing... level 1, level 1... where the hell is level 3? if i'm gonna shell out $700+, and all its gonna get me is to the level of a stock firehawk ... (no offense to firehawk owners here but) WHOOP DEE FRIKKIN DOO.

        ... where? forget the link or something?
