I need some suggestions on what suspention to get. I would like a name that makes everything including springs, shocks, struts, k-member brace, sub frame connectors, strut tower braces, and anti sway bars. I would also like to keep my car all American. Thank you for your suggestions. [Big Grin]

Suggestions for suspension:

Griggs Racing

Maximum Motorsports

Also depends on year of the vehicle and what you would like to accomplish with it.

Kenny Brown makes some very nice complete suspension systems designed for each individuals driving. I believe they make 3 or 4 stages of suspension. Its definitly worth checking out. I have some of there products and I like them very much!!

Others thoughts on KB systems (long thread, although well worth it):

BP on KB

Griggs is going on my car right now in Sac. At the shop there is a track car that has KB suspension. It really does look flimsy and weak compared to griggs

I don't think you can beat Griggs or Maximum Motorsports but they are pretty pricey I know the full griggs kit will run you $6000. If you have a budget I hear the Steeda G-Trac system is great for under $2000. Comes with everything and I haven't heard any complaints. I was going to get it this summer but I decided to wait for the Griggs kit. Good Luck [patriot]

The street suspension with coilovers will run about $4000, the autocross system is about $5000
