Well said. I reply and post a lot.

My comments were not intended to be "condescending" as you continue to refer to it as. As jd28 stated:

I think the main problem here is that you already went out and pretty much bought a full suspension, and THEN asked what was the best setup. The logical thing would be do ask BEFORE you buy the parts. A lot of info can be found by searching, and when it comes down to it, the best suspension setup depends directly on your personal preferences and what you want to do with the car (yes, this has been said several times in this thread already). The BAT 21mm rear sway bar is GREAT, depending on your application. But we can't really help you without knowing exactly what you want, intend, and prefer.

Bottom line: you already bought new suspension components, and then ask what you should do...expect to get some crap about that, its not a very logical procedure


Agreed.

Instead of answering any of Auto-X's questions, you replied with a namecalling flame post. No offense, but I did not realize you were thin-skinned and took offense so easily.

My basic question thus should have been, what components would be required and are available to build the best street suspension ? If the equipment that i purchased is not the best, oh well, what is?, and what other than what i have, do i need?


Now that you have finally answered the questions...

IMO:
1. GCs + Konis are a bit overkill for street use. If I could do it over again, I would have gone Bilsteins or Konis and Eibachs or H&Rs.
2. BAT bar is just fine.
3. Camber kit if you plan to really drop it. Be sure to get the upgraded plates from CEGer Thinkmoto.
4. Energy Suspension motor mount and bushings.
5. Upgrade the GC bearings - it's a must.

Nice add ons:
1. LSD - Torsen or Quaife. If you plan to do those, consider an aftermarket flywheel and clutch.
2. Upgraded suspension compnents from CEGer Brad
3. Rear STB - not sure of anyone makes one anymore, but CEGers have made their own.

Once finished, be sure to get an alignment.
