iC suspension overhaul

[lowsodium]

Pelican Parts... And before anyone gets on their high horse how other companies are better, over the part year i have done several orders and they have been great with customer service and pricing.

Thats who I was going to order mine from. I was going to get the stage 3 kit. I dont want to lower it too much since Im going to daily drive mine. I also didnt want to get aftermarket sway bars after reading about how they can tear the mounts out, unless you spend an extra $100 for reinforcement kits.

I am looking to do the exact same thing, ANy more detailed info (price/part #s) would be great. I want a fun driver that handles well, but is not to firm. I have been tossing around what material to replace the stock with. What have others found when going poly? Good Luck, subd for my future re-build.

I stumbled on these guys and they seem to be quite a bit less than tirerack.

A strut bar and cross brace couldn't hurt. I like the IE (Sparco style) strut bar and as far as the cross brace is concerned just make sure it is compatible with whatever aftermarket sway bar you are using.

I ordered all my stuff today. $1579 total. Most of the order came from Pelican and a few things from German auto parts:

From Pelican:

Stage 2 suspension kit
swaybar bushings front and rear
extra 10mm nuts for some of the components
tie rod ends

From GAP I got:

inner and outer ball joints for the control arms

I didnt order complete control arms like most people will do because I have a 12 ton press. I also didnt go extreme on buying expensive suspension stuff, I really just wanted a slightly lowered ride so its comfortable to drive everyday. With all the parts I listed I think I will have everything I need to rebuilt every suspension part that has worn out.

Seen it happen on well over a dozen stock setup cars as well. All depends on how you drive the car and/or how rusty your bits are.

[Herr Faust Schinken]

seriously even if your car has stock sways id recommend doing IEs bolt in billet front and rear sway bar mounts even if just for the piece of mind that you will never rip them off

I have been thinking about how to finish my suspension refresh. Stage 2 kit doesn't include springs. How are you getting the lowering?

Wow, I paid less for custom valved bilsteins, ground control, and shortened housings plus all the stuff you listed, minus motor mounts. I got all stock rubber though..

It includes eibach springs.

Im following up to see if there is any feedback on the H&R Touring Cup Kits. I pretty well have all my bits for a steering/front subframe/e36 rack project and am still undecided about the suspension.
