Suspension Setup

I'm holding off on all engine mods and now am focusing on the suspension. I've been thinking a lot lately and have finally planned out my complete suspension setup. I was thinking about getting the TEIN Basic Damper, but decided to keep my Ground-Controls. Here is what my setup will look like in the upcoming future:

Front:

1) Tokico Illumina shocks
2) Password: JDM 3-point front strut tower bar
3) Spoon front lower arm bar
4) ITR front sway bar
5) Skunk2 front camber kit
6) HASport motor mounts
7) J's Racing engine damper

Rear:

1) Tokico Illumina shocks
2) EM Racing rear strut tower bar
3) EM Racing trunk floor bar
4) ASR subframe reinforcement brace
5) Spoon rear lower arm bar
6) ITR rear sway bar
7) Skunk2 rear lower control arms
8. Skunk2 rear camber kit

What do you guys think?

Go bigger than ITR sway in my opinion.
and get Hasport Motor Mounts like me =) They are baller and the best. Don't waste time with inserts

The ITR rear sway is 23mm. I think that's big enough already. I'll add the Hasport motor mounts to my list and take the inserts out.

 

[DarkAngelGSR]

It's cool to say you have but I've heard personally alot of feedback of friends of mine still thinking its not big enough, its a sizeable increase but they want bigger.

just saying what I've heard. Cause plenty will say its fine, dont want u overrun by all " yeah get the ITR"

 

[JDMxDB8]

The reason why I'm getting the ITR rear sway is because of the ASR brace. If I don't get the brace, the stock one will tear. I'm not sure if other sway bars from other companies will be compatible with the ASR brace.

 

[DarkAngelGSR]

Might wanna research.

 

[JDMxDB8]

Yup. Planning to.

 

[ShinsenTuner]

Suspension work is so cool... I love it more than my audio days, lol.

I would try to find an engine damper, and just use that in conjunction with mount inserts,

Nice car man, very clean.

Engine Dampers are waste of money if u got good motor mounts for now.

Thanks for the advice. Almost forgot about that.
