Just need a torque arm and you'll be set.

Thats alot of money, but seems to be well spent. Good luck with it. Will you be doing the install yourself?

hell yeah. where's the new tubular torque arm? he's got them, too.

Ian 09-26-2005 06:37 PM

Christ! you might as well get a new K memeber and control arms :shock: . Sounds like money well spent, but I agree with everyone else, you're gonna have to step up to a tubular torque arm.

looks like my sig 8)

qwikz28 09-26-2005 07:32 PM

spend the extra money and buy koni adjustables. or if you insist on bilstein, buy a set of strano revalves.

qwikz28 09-26-2005 07:32 PM

wow wait... what about the roll bars?

ar0ck 09-26-2005 08:38 PM

Try and get a package deal on the springs. I know thunder racing valves their Bilstiens specifically to the eibach kit. And I hear the SLP kits are just re-valved bilstiens and are kinda crappy.

Dont quote me though.

Jeez... who does such a thing ;)

Chrome moly is a bit over kill

Also the adjustable bits.... maybe a bit over kill?

hell no!!! the konis are worth it IMO. i cant wait to get my setup! the reason why you should go adjustable is you can make it very soft for drag racing, mid stiffness :D for daily driving, and very stiff 8) for making your car handle like a slot car. dont be fooled by these putz's. shocks are the most important mod if you want good handling

and why is that jonathan?

Firebirdgm2000 09-30-2005 12:06 PM

ehhhhh maybe the chrome moly was wayyy overboard or maybe the fact everything is adjustable. But I remain true to the fact that the V8 swap will eventually happen. I can't wait to do this on my garage over the weekend!

Yes.... factor in that it is a street car... then yes.

Track only... chrome moly EVERYWHERE then!

what difference does street vs track make?
both situations call for good traction and less wieght in the vehicle improves et's and gas mileage.
chromoly is the way to go no matter how you use your car.
