Ordered my KW's today. I want to dial some geometry back into my suspension since im going to lower my car. There are so many products available, I am confused which ones I should use. J's roll ceneter $1000 , Go fast labs, front/rear bump steer kit.....

Dont know if it matters, but im running AP2 version 1's with 235/45/17 AO48's and 255/40/17 RA1's. RA1's all around once i wear out the AO48s. Car is 03, AP1. Im hoping to lower the car about 1.75-2.0 inches. Thanx in advance guys.

 

I don't see much gain by installing pillowball mounts on a double wishbone susp worth wrenching about. I can see how it can aid in maintaining the intended susp geometry on a MacPherson strut but on a double wishbone the A-arms do all the work. You're better off spending the $$ replacing the bushings on the control arms with a stiffer compound or better yet use monoballs to get the same effect.

No need for a bumpsteer kit on an AP2. Just dial in 1/8" rear toe in and you're set.

 

its an ap1 car with ap2 wheels

 

There is absolutely no gain whatsoever, much less any gain "worth wrenching about".

Mr. Eurotrash has BMWs on the brain. The a-arms control the suspension geometry; the shock mounts have nothing to do with it.

 

Then it would be a good idea to get a bumpsteer kit. I bought the go-fast version in support of the GFL.

 

ha, good guess mr. garrison. GC camber plates were a great upgrade on my e36.

 

Yeah, I have a lot of E36-owning friends. The equivalent on the S2000 is an adjustable upper a-arm. TC Designs makes one, there are probably others as well.

 

I just use the stock tophats. THey seem to work okay.

 

need more input
