Ok guys, I need some help picking out some suspension, brake, and wheel stuff. I have some stuff already set and/or ordered.
1. GLH 5-lug conversion
2. GLH brake upgrade w/ drilled rotors and 200mm rear drums.
3. 96ÔÇÖ Sebring 16X6 aluminum wheels
NOTE- The brakes will be upgraded later to ÔÇ£stage 2ÔÇØ with minivan front brakes (60mm single piston caliper!!!) and ACR, SRT-4, or Lebaron rear discs. But I need the GLH kit to get to five-lug for now.
So here be the big questions. Seeing as this car will be for the HPDE and Auto-x as well as for street use I need to pick a suspension combo for it.
FWD performance (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fwdperformance.com">www.fwdperformance.com</a><!-- w -->) is the only vendor offering L-body suspension right now. I am poor so bare in mind that I have about $700 going into the engine and tranny already.
Package 1-
1. Koni coilover struts (front) - $450
2. Koni coilover struts (rear) - $325
3. Eibach front springs (8", 2.5" diameter 400#) $109
4. Eibach rear springs (9", 2.25" diameter 300#) $109
5. 1 1/8in Swaybars (F&R) $378
6. Busings, mounts, etc. (est) $150
Package 1 total- $1521
Package 2-
1. KYB GR-2 struts (front) - $120
2. KYB GR-2 struts (rear) - $86
3. LRE Springs (front) - $152
4. LRE Springs (Rear) - $130
5. 1 1/8in Swaybars (F&R) $378
6. Busings, mounts, etc. (est) $150
Package 2 total- $1016
Package 3-
1. OEM GLHS Konis F&R ÔÇô (used, est) $350
2. Rebuild on Konis ÔÇô (est) $200
3. LRE Springs (front) - $152
4. LRE Springs (Rear) - $130
5. 1 1/8in Swaybars (F&R) $378
6. Busings, mounts, etc. (est) $150
Package 3 total- $1260
Some of the package 2 and 3 stuff I know I can get cheaper. I have a friend who can order me the KYBs cheap and I know a guy who has Mopar front springs (ÔÇ£auto-xÔÇØ style) for $50. ONLY FWD performance can get the Koni stuff, they are contracted. Mix and match between the 3 packages and comment on any of my possibilities or any others you may know of. Also, do I need the swaybars?
I am also looking into that NASA deal with the Konig wheels. I would use the 16in for the street and the 15in Konigs for the track. Which do u guys think would look best? The car will be staying red (most likely a custom pearl or metal flake Garnet red) and it will have a GLH body-kit in flat black. (trivial but anyway)
