I recently purchased an MY04 and I've been looking at some suspension parts and If and of you out there have done any suspension work to your S, two questions... Do all your parts match, (Spoon X-brace, Spoon Lower brace, etc.) or do you mix and match? Is it mechanically important that you use all the same manufactorers?? So many options ...

 

I mix and match. Get the best every one has to offer.

 

Just a tip. Don't buy suspension parts just because they make em. A lot of em do jack.

 

unless someone has dyno-proof that the mix/match parts work together, I try to stick to one manufacturer. Of course, this option can be costly sometimes.

 

I mix and match -

comptech X brace
spoon stb

 

There's no discernable benefit that I know of from sticking with a single manufacturer for all your aftermarket parts. I go for the best each has to offer.

It's like building a stereo system. Some companies make better amps while other make better speakers.

 

Then there are the JDM Whores...
