Suspension and brakes...

[97gsspyder]

I'm beginning my new project, and i figure the first thing i plan on takling is the suspension and Brakes, i've already decided on rims and tires. i'm sorta stuck on just about everything else, The car is going to be daily driven, however it will see its fair share of track time, I'd like to have good stright line performance, but i'd also like to be able to take corners well also, now I figure for the Sway bar i'd go with intrax or progress, not too sure which ones better... I'm also definently going with Buschur racing's strut bar, Now i'm definently buying coilovers but i'm sorta stuck on these too, I want to get Tein super street damper or i'd get GC coilovers and use Koni adjustables....I've heard alot of good stuff about Tein so i'll proabaly go with them.... and one last thing the brakes, either Bear's pro brake upgrade or brembo's big brake kit, haven;t heard too much about either, anyone who has used these products, if you could let know how you liked them, also any replies would be greatly apprecaited

For sway bars I would go wth RMDSM.

Strut bar I would recommend a solid non-adjustable type, like the RRE or D3 Designs they are alot stiff than adjustable strur bars. If you are set on the Buschur strut bar I would go buy a $20 one of E-Bay, because it dang close to the same $100 bar they sell. If not the same.

Giving the options you gave for shocks I would go with the Tien's. Some other options are B+G true coilovers($999.00) or if price is no concern JIC FLT-A2's or GAB coilovers.

Both the Bear and Brembo brakes are real good upgrades and they both would serve you well. I personally like the Brembo's

Check out StopTech, I just purchased and installed their big brake kit. The components are top of the line; the calipers are sized to each specific application as to not alter the braking bias, which means no rear upgrades are needed. The customer service is also excellent. I own, and now have for sale, the Baer Track big brake kit, the StopTech kit is superior in all respects. The Baer Pro kit use the same one-piece brake rotors as used in the Track kit so the only upgrade is to the Alcon four piston calipers. StopTech uses a two-piece floating rotor that is about 6lbs lighter then a similar size one piece. To be honest I have not track tested these brakes yet, that will come next month. But I have talked with several people whom track and race with these brakes and the feedback is very positive. The biggest advantage to StopTech over Brembo is the price, $1650.00 from RRE.
