handling?

**joker** · 04-26-2006, 08:36 AM

what should I start with to beef up my '02 a/t WS6's handling?

**easyericvan** · 04-26-2006, 06:45 PM

Sub-Frame connectors if you don't all ready have them.

**Wesman** · 04-26-2006, 07:34 PM

Strut tower bar to reduce chassis flex, lowering springs, panhard rod, performance shocks, and bigger wheels with high performance low-profile tires.

That should make a nice difference

**joker** · 04-27-2006, 05:01 AM

as far as larger tires what size?

**Wesman** · 04-27-2006, 09:44 AM

I'd go with 17 in. wheels and tires, thats what my car has. Anything bigger than 18's will look ridiculous

**joker** · 04-27-2006, 11:50 AM

right now I am weighing options on a set of 18's . My car is black so I was going with a black set of rims with a polished lip to offset all the black

**wicked1** · 09-06-2006, 05:22 PM

speaking of sfcs, do the weld on ones get in the way for maintenance or modding?

With SFC, LCA, PHB, STB, Strano Parts sway bars, Pro-Kit springs, AGX shocks, 18x9.5 wheels, 275 front & 285 rear tires I usually pull 1.02 - 1.08 G's depending on road conditions & suspension settings on a regular basis. That's with Poly/poly and not rod ends either. I say start with SFC's, spings & shocks and build from there.

**tonyjnjz** · 12-18-2006, 08:46 PM

strano sways are the best?? thats what ive been hearing..true? ....so strano sways/ bmr springs/koni sa's....not sure which lca's/ pan hard bar

ban-one · 12-18-2006, 09:38 PM

the MOST important SFC's then add other stuff from there shocks srpings strut tower bar

**tonyjnjz** · 12-18-2006, 10:56 PM

i relize that......was just wondering if strano had the best sways?

**Hot Black Trans-Am** · 12-19-2006, 06:33 AM

I have Stano's bars and I really like them. They did alot of good for me!

ban-one · 12-19-2006, 07:39 AM

i dont know if any brand is better than any other brand but you do want to get the biggest ones you can find

strano talks a mean game and claims he's the best-that's why you think that. I'm sure his will hold up just as well as a set of BMR or like mine; a 35mm from Jegs
