well i just got new tires put on, nothing expensive and i just realized how much body roll i have on my car which leads me to believe i need new shocks. The weird thing is i never noticed it before with my old tires which i wore out to the wires.
The only logical conclusino i can come up with is taht since i had no traction with my old tire, they sled with the turn and i couldn't notice the body roll as much because not much grip and since i get Alot more grip with these tire, the body roll is much more noticable. So i guess i need to shell out some money for new shock and while im at i, i think i'll drop it down a inch or so. Any ideas on what shocks will stabalize my car without sacrafising comfort that much. dunno just thought i'd share my experience. kthanxbye

The sway bars attach to the suspension components underneath the car. You are thinking of strut bars. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
