Best rear suspension bag for the buck???

KB94GT · 05-13-2002, 05:35 PM

I have a 94GT with about 270-280 RWP and have problems with launching, as I often get bad wheelhop, and have a tought time getting traction. All around needs help. Also, the *** end kind bounces around too much on multiple bumps. On the highway on smooth roads its stable and it corners pretty good, but it really needs tightening up
Only suspension mods are Springs and Tokico shocks. Wheels are 17X9 255/45 front and 17X10.5 285/40 rear. Car also bottoms out quite a bit with a passenger.

Looking at the Maximum Motorsport packages with Torque arm, Lower control arms and Panhard bar for just around $1000 not including install.
Any better suggestions??
Would prefer not to spend that much if I didn't have to.

COnsidered just getting the MAC rear control arms, but heard they arent that great.

Depends on what you want...

Well I didn't include Griggs b/c, although its good stuff, its too expensive to be considered best bang for the buck. Maximum Motorsports seems to be just as good yet cheaper. Impressive that you custom made your rear torque arm though!
