Suspension issues

If anyone has some advice I would appreciate it. Alright the car to the left that you see has 171 th. on it . I am fixin to get a set koni reds all the way around, but can I just replace my front strut mount bearing or do I need a new set ? And if the springs should be replaced as well, which ones should I go with?

Re: Suspension issues

I'd reccomend getting an aftermarket kit. They are more durable than the stock replacements and do a better job. The springs choice is up to you. Do you want to lower it or just replace them?

Re: Suspension issues

Well, I have found out today by looking at my upper strut mount that I cannot replace bearing.

So I have found acdelco replacement mounts for two shipped, 160.00 .

And Are those j&m caster/camber plates (with spherical bearing) needed for street/strip car ?

Im fine with ground height with the ground effects . . .

So ill prob just figure out which mounts to get with the konis, cause I do know my front left mount is knocking up in down, so I will replace both.

I am guessing that the SFC from UMI for 199.00 are about my best bet considering im going with longtubes, x-pipe, and duals (hence the reason I cannot lower any more)

Re: Suspension issues

If it's going to be a street, strip car, the Delco pieces would work fine. Just don't get stuff from Advance/Auto Zone. Mine were poo. Either the Spohn or UMI will be good. I think that the UMI design may be stronger after alot of reading.

Re: Suspension issues

We also have sets available and ready to ship! Not to mention ours are on sale for $149.95!

SFC008 is designed for cars with full length headers and exhaust systems that run inside the frame rails.


SFC009 is designed for cars equipped with the OE manifolds or shorty headers with OE exhaust or OE type exhaust that runs on the passenger side, outboard the subframe.


Just another option for you

We currently do not offer a caster/camber plate we have one in R&D but is far from complete.

Yes you can unless it's some really odd system.
