Installed my new Strano specific Bilstein shocks yesterday, those fronts were a lot of fun to do (good thing I had a new can of PB Blaster). Had to chisel the nut off the top bolt to get the springs off the old de crapons. I also put my new front 32mm bar in. Last night I ordered the rest of what I need, energy suspension poly sway bar bushings, and moog LCA bushings. Prior to contrary belief, those expensive poly-ended LCA are NOT worth the money at all (for handling at least). In drag racing, stronger LCA's might be a needed upgrade IF you have the power to require it. But in auto-x, the stock arms with solid rubber bushings is a great affordable upgrade.

My suspension setup now is as follows:

-UMI on car adj. PHB
-Spohn end links
-Strano Specific Bilstein Shocks
-Stock Springs (plenty fine for now, strano springs are in the far future)
-WS6 front 32mm sway bar
-TA 19mm rear bar
and on the way:
-Energy Suspension sway bar bushings
-Moog LCA bushings

Took it up the street and back, and it handles very well. I'll have the front end aligned to these specs in a few weeks to improve handling even more: -.5 camber, 4.5 castor, 0 toe.

 

dude I love to read everyone of your threads
It gives us v6 guys some inspiration
hope you hit the 13's
I bet it does handle good!

 

how did you go about setting up your adj. phb to get the right length? just measure the old one? i have to pick one up because i dropped mine 2", but i dont know how to go about setting it up.

 

For now I just took the old one out, and adjusted the new one until they where the same length (used bolts). I'm taking it to an alignment shop eventually to get is set properly.

 

i like the new sig musicman, are you going to take it to a road coarse? or is it just a street car on steroids?

 

I plan on autocrossing it, and driving it a PIR a few times. Maybe I'll go north to Pacific and try out that road coarse :musicman looks at spartan:

 

cool, i think its nice seeing camaro's being used for a sport other than drag racing..lol, why are you looking at spartan????no wait i dont want to now..i might get the wrong awnser

 

We got in an argument about Pacific vs PIR a while back. I'm also going up there for Pinks all out to run the Mustang. (He lives up there)
