Suspension Work
 
Hey guys, I need some opinions...

I am currently looking to purchase some new parts for my Z so I can start doing some suspension work on it. Currently I am looking to buy Bilstein Shocks (I don't have the money for Koni shocks), Moog Spring Coils, Lakewood Control Arms & Panhard Rod, and an Eibach Sway bar kit (for the front and rear) and I was wondering what you guys thought of these moves. Is there any other work or parts that you recommend I do? Have any of you used these parts/brands before? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys!

I've been in the market for shocks too. I don't want to spend the $$ for Konis either. I've heard very good reviews on SLP Bilsteins (and pretty much any Bilstein product, really).

dude look into UMI there stuff is just as good as lakewood for half the price man thats what i run on my camaro and in my old mans mustang

Where can you get UMI products for a good price? And what are the benefits to non-adjustable and adjustable front upper and lower A-arms?

Bilsteins and Konis should be as comparable as possible to each other. But, to do simple suspension work, you hit it pretty good and don't forget the rear sway bar as well. Strut tower braces and such. Good luck.

summit has UMI's full line or go to UMIperformance.com the adjustable stuff is harder to set up but give you more control over how the car is going to handle and launch i just run the solid stuff it stiffens the ride from factory so i few months ago i priced a complete front suspension setup including the K member and it was right around 2000 and that was the adjustable stuff so you decide
