This is the suspension set up i plan on:

BC Racing Coils 12 10 Spring rates
Relentless AutoSports Front Strut Bar
RareJDM Rear Strut Bar
GTSpec Braces (Front Tie bar and 4 Point Mid Chassis Reinforcement Brace depending on the x pipe i get for my exhaust)
Hotchkis Sway-bars
SPC Camber Kit front and rear w/toe bolt

Anything im missing?

What about wheels and tires? right now im on OEM 19's 245/40/19 front and rear, Toyo T1R's front and Falken 452's in the rear.

Should i get light weight racing wide 18's? any that look good? or keep the stock 19's and maybe widen them and run a spacer in the rear? What about tire size?

im looking for the best handling i can get but still daily drive the car

Thanks,

IMO sway bars are just as good as their weakest link....get some adjustable endlinks. Other than that everything else looks on point.

 

will look into,

Thanks

 

id suggest powergrids, the SPC ones look like you can make them out of home depot parts. Their customer service is top notch and they will help you with whatever inquires you may have. I believe i ordered them through Chad on their ebay store

 

U got everything spot on. I would respectfully disagree with CreativeDesignZ. If your car is 05 and up then revised endlinks will do their job just fine because you don't wanna go with adjustable endlinks unless you are going to go with racetires and track the car every weekend.

Also dont forget to corner balance and align the car after u got everything on.

 

If you are looking at handling and performance as top priorities, then you definitely need a new wheel and tire package with some sticky rubber. Go down a lightweight track style 18" wheel with wide tires. If you want the lightest and most baller wheels, then go with something like Volk TE/CE's in 18" or Advans. For a more budget track wheel, then look into 18x10 Enkei RPF1's or 5Zigen FNOR1C's. Run at least a 265/30/18 in the front, and a 275/35/18 or 285/35/18 rear. Go with either Bridgestone re050 PP, michelin ps2, bfg kdw2, goodyear f1gsd3, or vredestein sessantas. Or if you really want to go all out, bridgestone re01r, or falken rt-615. Don't expect to get any rain traction with the last two choices

 

im going to respectfully disagree with you, ill try to dig up the "revised" endlink that is now in 2 pieces after about 1 month of being replaced and snap some pics. Not sure if i still havem or not. Not to mention the added adjustability you will have when corner balancing, just my 2 cents.

 

Where can i find adjustable endlinks?

Thanks for the info Redlude and Klubbheads

 

18" BBS RG-R is 18-19lbs in 8.5 and 9.5" sizes. Great lip size for an 18" wheel. You can run 245/40 and 275/40 tires. Although expensive, Michelin PS2's are good.

 

+1 to everything that Hai said... my only disagreement would be the last about RE-01R's not having traction in rain. I drove my car a good 10 times in rain, heavy, heavy rain with my RE-01R's and they held up much higher than my expectations for a near track tire.

Wes , I'm confused are you fixing the G up for your Mom.
A few days ago you sadly annouced you were giving up Joanne.

Or are you talking about another car.

 

really? A few of the local guys run them and they say they are a nightmare. Most of them shave them for autox too though, thats probably why

 

Aren't those tires too short? 265/35/18 fronts and 275/40/18 or 285/40/18 are closer to specs.

 

Also, if you want an affordable tire you can track for 18's, I would definately go with Kumho Ecsta MX/XS

 

yes joanne, my moms daily driver and my weekend toy. when i get the sedan it will be show with no go
