Quote: I know this is rather an old topic however I am very interested in seeing how this is going to handle when the swap is complete
I am figuring I am going to have to do something like you did captain and make raisers in the back or I will be dealing with this
So I am going to try to weld some brackets onto the rear like you did
That way I can put any AWD suspension in the car later not having to mix match.
Unless there is a reason I should use Rear AWD stock springs because of spring rate.
I am trying to go for a really good handling CSM this year.
I have a good set of street tires on there, what else can I do to help the suspension handle?
I heard that the chassis flexes a lot. Strut bars?
Are there any polyurethane bushings for these cars?
Yeah, if you want to run the AWD struts with AWD lowering springs you will have to build something like that for the rear, otherwise it will be WAY too low back there. Honestly, if you're going for a "really good handling CSM", this probably isn't going to give you what you're looking for, but it will be better than the stock suspension. I've heard these cars benefit a lot from strut bars front and rear, and a larger rear sway bar (there isn't one at all from the factory) helps a lot too with reducing understeer. There are bushing companies out there, but not in the US, you would have to have it imported here. I believe Tein is a distributor for SuperPro bushings, and they sell bushings for our cars, but they don't sell a complete kit so you have to piece it all together.
