what suspension do you recomend
well I finally got my Moser rear axle assembly on... it feels a hell of a lot faster with the posi, 3.73's, and I got the power programmer...
anyway, now I am looking for some new struts and 2'' lowering springs... does anyone have any good recomendations... or does anyone know of any package deals out there? I saw the TVS package from Hochkis but it only comes with 1'' lowering. -Thanks |

Re: what suspension do you recomend
I got a set of intrax springs that gave me a 2" drop with KYB Gas shocks and struts.

Re: what suspension do you recomend
Recommendations......
It all depends on what you are looking for. Obviously since you are looking for 2" springs, you are not planning on Drag racing at the track, so here is my opinions. Springs For a 2" Drop, the Eibachs {Sportline Kit} will get you there! It is a pretty big drop! 2" is a bit much for me, though. Shocks The KYB are not really worth the $$. There are much better shocks out there. The Bilstiens are the way to go for 'Stock Replacement', but if you have the money, go with the QAI Coil over kit! other parts BMR and Spohn both make Quality suspension parts for 4th gens. Get some QUALITY lower control arms (and Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets) and a Quality Panhard bar for a huge handling difference over stock. If you do not have SFC's, better get them ASAP. What Moser did you get? I have mine sitting in the garage waiting for the next car. Mine is a 9" with Aluminum Center, 1350 yoke, Detroit locker, and Richmond 4.33's. The thing is Indestructable!

Re: Re: what suspension do you recomend
here is a link to the rear end I got (its at the bottom of the page): http://www.customracer.com/camaro_su..._handling.html
my plan is to shorty headers on and then weld in some electric cut-outs so that I can keep the quiet of the stock exhaust but be able to open it up (when some punk rolls up next to me ). Do you think that I won't be able to fit those under there with the 2'' drop? |

Re: what suspension do you recomend
get yourself a set of eibach springs on the hal shocks coil over kit (QAI). its the best way to go for the money. to get the eibachs to work on the hals, you need to get adapter plates from bmr fabrication but thats the best system you can go with...

Re: what suspension do you recomend
the HAL/QAI set up is also just above the rear end you linked to.
To answer Genosyde, Yes I was running them on the street. With over 411hp and 418t-lbs at the wheels and the 4.33's, 1st and 2nd gear was pretty useless unless you were at the track.
