Default Best suspension setup

what do you guys recommend as far as suspension goes to keep the tires on the ground and improve handling?

Do what Craby said and call Sam. He can tell you exactly what you need for this and that.

But to keep your tires stuck to the pavement, you'll definitely need LCAs. You'll need some better sway bars for the corners and some stiffer shocks (I recommend getting Koni adjustables :$).

I'd say that will be enough for your needs unless you're an extremist... Then you need to call Sam for sure heh.

cool, thanks guys, I will call Sam too.

Hey maudy! its news but not news i want to hear- still waiting on a adjuster to show his face... man these people move like turtles.. but at least im finally getting somewhere (took alotta cussin

reason i ask about the suspension is well when i used to drive off a stop, if its more than 1500 rpm it`ll start a burnout, and even when i drove if i turned the wheel a little( like changing lanes) and stepped on the gas it would go crazy. so i figure if or when it comes back, the first thing i want to do is to keep it on the road.

ah ok, I dont know if there are anyone that doesnt offer lowering. Maybe you can get only like 1" drop ones, its not that much really. I dont know if you cam even get to 1LE package springs and get some after-market shocks with them?? It will all help. Personally I think the camaro looked like a 4x4 berfore it was really high, i still have an inch gap between my tire and my arch but thats the design of these cars too, there is no ground clearence if I were to lower it as far I as want to Im going to have fun with my true duals as it is!!

Auto, you know what insurance companies are like, anytime they gotta pay they take their time, different if its the other way around lol
