Rebuilding SS
 
3 Attachment(s)
Recently I got into a really bad accident with my beautiful 2002 camaro ss. Insurance gave me $9k for the repairs, but I plan on using the money to put some aftermarket parts. For instance, Im going to replace all the suspension, grille, and wheels/tires with better parts. What would you suggest for suspension upgrades?

depends on what you're using the car for...strip car or just a driver?

SHOoffSS May 1, 2009 09:19 PM

its goin to be a daily driver. but i want tight suspension that can handle corners really good, not too rough though

eibach springs, koni shocks, subframe connectors, rear lower control arms...that's a pretty good start for ya

yea i was planning on getting the eibach lowering springs and the subframe connecters. Are KYB adjustable shocks any better than koni shocks?

SHOoffSS May 2, 2009 11:59 AM

who makes good rear lower control arms? (BMR, UMI, Spohn, J&M,........)

whammer3024 May 2, 2009 12:16 PM

those are all good brands for control arms...i went with umi myself

i have the kyb shocks simply because they were cheaper. i have never had koni's...but everyone raves about them and says they are better than kyb...

do a google search for sam strano...find his website and check it out. dude is amazing with set ups for f-body's

I would suggest that since you're basically just going to be a DD that the KYB's are probably good enough for you. The koni's are expensive and although worth it, better suited for a auto-X car, not a DD. Kinda like putting a racing seats in a family car. Just my .02. I have the adjustable KYB's and I love them, min car's just a DD for the most part and they work great.

I would also suggest a panhard bar and sway bars for your suspension along with the other stuff mentioned

I cannot believe someone would post a most ridiculous video of a football team on this forum.. That garbage does not belong here!!!! Shame on you Wammer. You should be banned from this forum. What a joke. Really? I'd love to hear the logic on this one. This is a camaro forum, not a place to watch men touching men. Pull it down already!!!!!!!!!!!
