*please forgive my ignorance and move this post to the correct section if required*
How's it going? Being new I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Tim, I'm a 20 year old college student from Maryland and I am the proud owner of a 97 ST. I've been visiting this site for a while and I must say that I like what I see. I honestly don't know much about cars but I am learning and you guys have certainly helped with that. The amount of knowledge on this site is amazing and being a philosophy major ![]() I've been researching this site about struts and springs and I'm playing with the idea of getting Eibach Sportslines and KYB GR-2 shocks. From what I have read, this would be a good setup to improve handling. In a few years I plan on doing the 3s-gte swap. Now here is where my questions come into play. First: Since I have 16 inch rims on my car, will that suspension setup cause any negative side affects that I would have to fix, I.E. realignment, camber adjustments, etc. Second: Later on after I do the swap, assuming I now have those parts installed, would that setup be good enough to handle the increased horsepower/torque when driving? If not, what other springs and struts would be able to handle the increased power? Third: Should other parts of the suspension, besides the struts assuming they are ok, be upgraded in order to handle the increased power? If so, what parts? Hope you guys don't mind the long post. I'm just trying to be as clear as I can so there is no confusion. I would like to upgrade my suspension first before I even consider dropping in a 3s-gte. I just want to make sure I get it right the first time so I wouldn't have to worry about wasting money on new parts after the swap. Thanks for your help guys! ![]() |
