xtremerevolution Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Don't forget the poly control arm bushings! Makes a lot more sense to do it when you have everything apart, and its easier then as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 good thought. Im basically gonna order things over the next few weeks until I have everything I need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Ok, so I can order the following as is: Coilover Sleeves, (x4) Coilover Adj Nuts, (x4) Torrington Bearings Front and rear GR2s Springs, I still have to decide. Twenty said he was doing 425/300 Front/rear. I like the sound of that, but I want opinions before I order those. I still need lateral links and trailing arms, as well as front and rear STBs. I'm going to go with BXX's mounts, and probably an integrated front stb while we're at it. That just leaves ball joints and tie rod ends that I'll get from the Zone (should I get both inner and outer TR ends while Im at it?). Otherwise, I still don't really know what poly bushings I need.

BXX Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 um, I would go 400lb max on the front and 300 to 350 rear. 300 is a good rate for the rear IMHO. Get 10 inch springs btw. 12 inch is too long for the fronts I know for a fact. as far as the poly front control arm bushings, I have no clue on the part number. I think Venom had posted it though. as for the inner tie rods. I dunno. I do them since they are cheap, but they don't fail as often and are more difficult to change. I do have a fsb that will work on any mounts. I'm gonna replicate it someday but I don't actually need it to do so, so I can sell it to you.

Psych0matt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Alright, I'm on my phone right now, but when I get back down to my pc I'm gonna order the coilover parts at least. Are the springs in increments of 25, or 50? I was thinking 375/325 perhaps? Otherwise 400/350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I was actually prolly gonna go 375/325 when I do my coilovers:lol: Summit doesnt stock those rate of springs except the 375 in chrome which is $12 more. They show an estimated ship date of 2/28 if you ordered them tonight. Heres the springs in the right size that they have in stock http://www.summitracing.com/search/brand/QA1-Precision-Products/Part-Type/Coil-Over-Springs/Length-in/10-000-in/Inside-Diameter-in/2-500-in/In-Stock/Yes/Spring-Finish/Silver-powdercoated/?Ns=Rank%7cAsc&autoview=ProductName Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm thinking 400/350 then. I like a bit stiffer ride so I'm not too worried about that as long as the handling is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm sure I'll be switching out springs throughout the year. I want a firmer ride anyway. But, I'll report on my opinions of the 425/300 pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) ordered all my coilover stuff tonight! Also buying mounts and whatnot from bXx, so the only things I still need are lateral links, and a rear sway bar, rear stb, and then poly bushings for both sway bars, and rear lateral links. Trailing arms are gonna stay rubber.0 :dance: Edited February 17, 2011 by Psych0matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 still need shocks/struts rear 1.5 sway bar gen 2 lat links rear calipers/rotors/pads tie rod ends (inner and outer) ball joints poly bushings for: rear 1.5 sway bar gen 2 lat links front sway bar FFP dogbone I think that about sums it up. If I forgot anything, remind me, I'm having trouble keeping track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 matt, im sure I can get you cheap prices on the ball joints and tie rods since I work for a shop and parts places give me discounts. Any certain brand or place you want to get your parts from? I know I can talk Autozone down a good deal on parts:thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I was gonna go with over the counter parts for those. But I can always pick those up when I come down I suppose. Im not necessarily looking, just kinda making myself a note in the thread of where I'm at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well all I was saying is I can get over the counter parts and save you some cash:thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
