What suspension does everyone have/how do you like it?

[ls1dave]

Heres mine:
Granatelli lower control arms
Granatelli springs
Granatelli shock tower bar
Granatelli panhard bar
Granatelli tranny cross member
Granatelli welded subframe conenctors
Koni SA (4/4)
C5 Y2K wheels (17/18)
Falken Azenis RT615 tires all around
drilled/slotted zinc washed rotors (on the way from rotorsonline.com)

Overall car handles great riding on my Falken Azenis RT615s. not the best for drag, as my best 60' is just under 2.0, but should work well when i try autoX.

what do you guys all have?

[Fixxer99TA]

Suspension/Chassis:

- BMR Welded Sub Frame Connectors
- BMR Tunnel Brace
- BMR Front 32mm Sway Bar
- BMR Rear 19mm Sway Bar
- BMR Torque Arm
- BMR Strut tower brace
- Hotchkis Panhard Bar
- BMR Welded Lower Control Arms
- Bilstein Shocks, 1.5" Lowering springs
- 17" Chrome 5 spoke 02' SS Wheels, currently in the market for new rubber
- Zinc Washed and Crossdrilled Rotors w/ Painted calipers
- Hawk pads (duhhhh)

Copied right from my Fquick, and it is one of the tightest handling cars I have EVER driven.... And I have driven alot, hahaha..

[ls1dave]

nice setup. you like the BMR sway bars? did you do it all at once or in steps? what brand of springs?

i edited my list...i knew i was forgetting some stuff. lol

[Fixxer99TA]

Steps, I got the car with a little bit done.... And then slowly added the rest to complete it... And the BMR swaybars are great, the car is as hard as a rock in corners..

The only thing I think I might have to change in the future is the Torque Arm, I have a feeling I will need something adjustable...

[93_355bird]

mines mainly a drag car with some street driving, so far i got:

-Adj. Spohn lower control arms
-M/T drag radials
-QA1 shocks and springs up front
-QA1 shocks out back
-BMR tubular k-member
-Flaming river manual rack
-No front sway bar

cut a 1.7 60 foot with only the items in bold in my 6 speed car

[VendettaV8]

Suspension/Chassis:

OEM Boxed Lower Control Arms w/ poly bushings
OEM Boxed Panhard Bar w/ poly bushings
Eibach Front 1 1/4 Sway bar
Spohn 1 1/8 rear sway bar
Spohn Boxed Tunnel Brace
Edelbrock 3 point Strut Tower brace
In Process Of Installing 1.5" Suspension Techniques Lowering Springs
OEM struts/shocks

wheel and tire setup:
18x9.5 ASA JH8 Wheels all around
265/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport N2's up front
275/35/18 Bridgestone G-Force Sport's in the rear

Handles really good right now with what I got done....

Plans over the winter are to ditch my OEM stuff that I custom boxed and get some Spohn parts, ditch the spohn tunnel brace and get a Lakewood DS loop brace, install LCA relocation brackets, and get some fancy struts/shocks to go with the springs. Might get a tq arm and welded subframes too....

[Grr]

BMR:
SFC
STB
panhard bar
front/rear sways
Spohn chassis mount TQ arm
Spohn LCAs

Car handles simply awesome and i love the adjustability of the konis. This car handles about like a good ZO6 i drove recently. But the spool gives it a tail-happy flavor.

[OutlawZ]

car is straight up drag with minimal street use...

BMR K-mbr
BMR front a-arms
QA1 R series front shocks 12 way adj
madman rack
BMR upper front lca's

hooks like an Atlantic City crackhead.....

[jaysz2893]

I got all the usual parts from UMI, Revalved Bilstiens with Eibach pro kit for a LS1 car, had to mod the rears a bit to ge tthe correct stance, and i got small ass 255/40/17's on C6 Z06 replicas but she takes the twisties well and is well balanced for Auto -X. I dont drag race as much anymore.

[Adam]

UMI welded subframe connectors

Ellis, how is that MADMAN arm' on the street? I thought about gettin' rid of my chassis-mounted Spohn arm', for one of his.

[fuels94]

I cut a 1.69 60ft with...

Stock front end with swaybar removed.
Monroe sensa-trac on the rear.
V-6 springs on the rear.
Gobalwest panhard bar.
Homemade re-enforce LCA.
Stock rear swaybar.
Poly-Trans mount.
Strut tower brace.

[Twisted Z]

It is actually beter then I thought it would be. It does bang and rattle do not get me wrong but better then some of the other street systems listed here ;)

[lt1noob]

Stock and damn it needs to upgraded. Thanks for this thread so I can see what works and what doesn't.

LT1NOOB how do you like the kyb agx's? I was looking it to those.

theyre great but, yes i know were away from ls1tech now but im going to repeat what has been said there. they are going to be nothing like konis. i chose them because yes, theyre still adjustable, i wanted something that would hold up better with my car being lowered, the price was right because im only 17. but im happy with them, if you have the money definately get konis. but if your in the same boat as me, not much for funds i definately recommend these. havent had a problem with them yet and theyre a great improvement over stock.

My set-up is UMI performance Adj. PHB, LCA's, and relocation brackets,
I also have a Sphon street/track rollbar.
My shocks are Bilstein's with pro-kit springs.
Also my most recent suspention mod a S60:devil:

[integraXTC]

don't go dropping your car by 1.5"+ with the KYB AGX. They're not meant to handle that drop, and it will void their warranty.

[BluBeaSSt]

Suspension/Chassis:
Spohn Adj LCA’s
Spohn Sub Frames
Hotchkis Panhard Rod
Spohn Strut tower brace
UMI LCA Relocations brackets

I love it,cut 1.7's on a nice night w/o VHT

[97Z28]

I appreciate this thread. It really helps to hear everyone's opinion on what to buy, and what not to buy, when I finally get around to doing my suspension setup.

275/45 Goodyear F1s on stock WS6 rims
Will have DRs out back soon.

[Milk Man]

i currently have v6 springs, kyb gas adjust struts in front and shocks in rear and everything else is stock. best i ever got on some 245's was a 1.9 60' with 3.23's(car was a rocket out of the whole, but had no top end). but installing some new LCA's, edelbrock torque arm, edelbrock sub frame connectors, custom make panhard, and hopefully a set of qa1's. once i get more saved up im also going to redo the struts, shocks and springs and add a tubular k-member and install the 9" i have for it.

[tbird31]

UMI trans mount adjustable TA (soon to get relocation to get it off tailshaft)
UMI LCAs with relos
UMI adjustable PHB
SLP 3 point SFCs
J&M STB
1LE 32mm front and 3rd gen 23mm rear

Front: Edelbrock coilovers
Rear: BMR lowering springs/Edelbrock IAS shocks

[jakesz28]

Just added afco front shocks to mine. I have to say I like the fact that the afco shocks came with the upper strut mounts so no need to buy new upper mounts. That is about half the price difference from them and the other couple companies making them. Running mid nines 2 clicks on the extension was the difference of pulling the front 12" to shy of 3' and carring it.

why v6 springs ? cause they are softer ?

[fuels94]

why v6 springs ? cause they are softer ?

Blubird, I'm also running V6 spring and yes they are softer. So when I launch off the line all the weight goes to the rear. I have been getting 1.6 60ft.
