It's been almost 1.5 years on my current setup. However now that i'm planning on doing a rear diff upgrade from 3.55 to a Torsen 3.73 gears, i figured i'd redo some of the suspension. I'm not very knowledgeable in this area but going through a ton of posts in the past few years and most members recommendations, i'm going to tweak it a little bit to further improve the handling
Current setup:
FP Track Handling shocks, struts and spring
FP Track Handling kit swaybars front and rear
Steeda IRS subframe braces, subframe bushing and alignment kit
Steeda front control arms - lateral and tension links with bushings
Steeda bumpsteer kit
FP strut tower brace, firewall brace and PP lower K member
Steeda Camber plates
recently upgrade to SVE 19x10 285/35 squared
I have no issues with the ride quality it's comfortable enough on most roads. However the main issue that i'm having is that car doesn't feel planted on highway surfaces which are uneven, like mostly roads which are under construction and the road level constantly keeps changing. I don't have enough confidence to push it hard on uneven surfaces, because get a slight float feeling. The best way to describe is the rear end feels kind of loose/not planted enough. After switching the wheels and tires I also have a bit of oversteer now. The other issue is sometimes accelerating through sharp turns i feel the rear end not sticking as much - the car doesn't put the power down properly (i hope the Torsen diff will be an upgrade in this department)
Planning to swap out/add the following:
Change FP Track springs to BMR SP083 or GT350R springs
Change the swaybars ? Is this needed or the FP ones good enough. haven't decide on this yet
Add Steeda Rear LCA Bearing
Add BMR Vertical Links TCA048 Polyurethane
Add Steeda Rear Shock Mounts
Torsen 3.73 diff
MGW X-Spec shifter
It's been a while since i got an alignment but it's -1.5 Front and -1.3 rear camber with slight toe in
My car is a daily driver and i only occasionally track it, i've done like 3 track days on my old setup. If there's anything else i've missed please let me know
