spl parts is best from what ive heard. settle for megan coils if you have to but not there suspension accessories. they blow from what other people have said.

Also, just to elaborate on my first post here. The reasons why I praise SPLparts.com so much is 1: The parts are great quality; and 2: This is the most important one to me, the customer service is great, Kuah is always willing to help you out to the best of his ability.

I enjoy Kazama suspension pieces. They are pretty high quality and aren't super expensive. I've never tried cusco but i've heard only good things about them, and their designs look very solid. I've never tried SPL parts either but from what I hear, they are awesome.

Also maybe wanna look into Battleversion, its a fairly new US based company headed by Pro-Drifter Alex Pheifer. They make alot of suspension components for the S chassis as well as AE86s.

If you are running in autox and want to keep out of SM or U I would stick to some poly bushings and work on the car from there.

driftfreek what have you done to the car already? If we know that then a better build can be suggested.

Also are you building the car for a class or going for what you like and letting the cards fall where they do?

Another question is what is your budget and deadline?

Some guys have big budgets for long projects while others need the parts now and have limited funds.

i want parts dat last, but at the same not spend lots of money. i want to spend round 600-850 bux on suspension arms( tension rods, camber arms, toe rods, no traction rod for now) peak performance seems pretty good. i HEARD cusco rust.
i have sway bars, strut bars, lowering springs n tie rods.
have i answered all da questions?
