Another thing to remember is, before you buy something...ask yourself if it's really necessary. Are you putting the part on your car for the "bling effect" or do you feel it's really going to be needed for the application? A good example are these aftermarket control arms. Yes...there are some geometric beneifts to them, but in the grand scheme of things, you don't necessarily HAVE to have them on your car to improve your suspensions performance. Talk to David Pozzi...he's been apexing circuits (and winning) for close to 30 years and he's never needed them. Now granted if I had the money they'd be on my car because I think they look great, but it would be purely for cosmetic reasons (and there's nothing wrong with that if that's the route you're going). I'll also echo what's previously been said about street cars and race cars. My suspension looks like this....
- Stock frame
- Stock arms
- Del-A-Lum bushings
- Global West billet cross shafts
- Global West tie rod sleeves
- Helwig 1" sway bar
- Koni adjustable shocks
- Hotchkis 2" drop springs
- ATS/AFX Spindles
- Touring Classics C5 front brakes
That's all I'm going to need for a street car.
And if I ever do decide to stretch her legs on a road course...I doubt I'll have too much trouble keeping up.
