Title: Suspension setup
Post by: the white guy on January 12, 2014, 07:46:35 PM

 Here is my setup:

Racing Dynamics springs (Blue)
Bilstein sports
M3 Control arm bushings
Suspension Techniques front/Rear sway bars (22mm/19mm) Rear is adjustable.
Adjustable spherical rod end sway bar endlinks (Front/Rear)
Polyurethane ST sway bar mounts.
Ireland engineering billet rear sway bar mounts 
Ground control RSMs
Old Eibach aluminum shock tower cross brace
Race skids lower brace
TSW Hockenheim R2 wheels
205/55/15 Yokahama S-drives
 
Rides well, corners very well.

 Thanks,
       Stan

Sounds like a nice setup. 2 questions, 1) What kind of spherical rod end sway bar endlinks are you using? Was looking to get some adjustables endlinks for my front Turner Bar. & 2) Have you had your car corner balanced/aligned? having my setup aligned by people who know what they are doing (and not just going by a light turning green on there machine) Made a HUGE Difference in dialing in the suspension.

I have not had the car suspension setup by a professional. I am sure that it would help out allot. I have no idea who to take it to.
Here is the list of rod ends and aircraft grade AN hardware I bought from Pegasus to do the front and rear bar:

3061-6-R - Rod End, 3/8 Bore x 3/8-24 Right Hand Female Thread   QTY. 4   
AN365- 6 - 3/8-24 Nylock Hex Nut, AN365   QTY.   6   
AN6-11A - 3/8-24 x .562 Grip Airframe Bolt   QTY.  2   
AN6-15A -  3/8-24 x 1.062 Grip Airframe Bolt QTY.4   
AN960-616 - 3/8 Flat Washer, .063 Thick - 100 Pcs   $5.79 QTY. 1     

 Thanks,
