I think GW lowers are the cheapest, quickest bandaid fix, but I'm looking for more.
I'd like to lower the rear roll centre (to match the front), run a heavier spring (so I stop bottoming out), and get rid of the inclined uppers (hate the brake jacking).
New Steeda 5-link? NO! $995 for two uppers and a panhard bar is way TOO much. What are these guys thinking? Sure you have to consider engineering as well as material cost, but this thing just isn't at the forefront of technology.
www.ipschassis.com has the Shaw link & uppers for $895... but it wouldn't be any better. You'd wanna go with the coil over's for a total of $1350, and get the whole reactive kinematic thing... This would really kick, but again, it's a little pricie on a student budget.
The griggs torque arm & panhard for $849 isn't a bad route either. I do question the added weight, and I think the torque arm is really more suited to the 1320 (4 parallel bars should reduce rear steer).
Again, I'm considering fabrication (parallel 4 and a panhard)... any other ideas? Comments?
