"Koni adjustables - we'll save about 2lbs plus get better traction for the hole shot"

Is this this on the road yet?

[JoeliusZ28]

Nope, i am holding off for now. Still more work to do and too much money is being spent.

Well, Konis have adjustable damper and rebound settings.

A straight adjustable coilover will generally allow those settings, along with a ride height adjustment.

Are koni 4/4s fully adjustable coilovers or is this something completely different?

This is a full on coilover: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...=150&ModelID=8 (I've seen em for like half that price, but still not cheap)

But the 4/4s (aka, the Sport series) have rebound adjustment and the fronts have two spring perch locations.

Just go with a set of koni's or bilsteins and a good set of springs. Don't even mess with cut springs. Its been tried and the handling sucks at the track.

Sway bar is installed - for now. It will probably be coming back off for a repaint in my standard red since it is more visible than i expected through the wheels. The car is definitely a lot more firm in the corners, but it also does a good job of emphasizing my crappy shocks. Its also unfortunately a LOT heavier than the stock bar

Nate brought his car over yesterday and let me take it for a ride. Pretty substantial difference between the two - my car is a monster truck compared to his and yet his rides better!

What kind of suspension/chassis mods do you have done?

[JoeliusZ28]

What kind of suspension/chassis mods do you have done?

Rear Tubular LCAs, tubular panhard bar, weld-in SFCs (althought i think they need to be replaced), STB, front sway bar, and a UMI torque arm that is still waiting to be installed. Front shocks are still crappy decarbons, rears I believe are some cheap KYBs.

So yur pretty well set besides shocks/springs/tires. Its kinda nice (and safe) to have a rollbar 4 pt. setup. Have you thought about relocating your battery?

[BP_Z28]

decarbons FTW!!!

I need new shocks also

I would like to do a 4 or 6 point cage at some point. And yes, I do plan on relocating the battery to the spare tire area.
