I recently accuired a 2000 model with the 2.5 and a 5 speed. A few questions about street suspension. I have never "lowered" a vehicle until this one. Always gone up. Anyhow, i already flipped the rear shackles and got it sitting level. I have new rims and tires on the way, Nitto 555 extremes 255/35/r20. And 20x9 rims. I want this thing to stick to the road.
The plan, I dont have a rear swaybar, thinking of going with a 1" hellwig in the rear and upgrading the front to 1 1/8 or 1 1/4. I dont mind if it rides a little rough. Sound good? What type of shocks would be best for my app???
Next, i have 3.73 gears, now , i would like to throw a 4.10 gear in the back to get a little more out of the hole power. Seeing that i will be hitting the corners real hard would a open diff (stock) be best or a L/S rear diff? It aready spins the inside wheel when taking a sharp corner, that is lost momentum. Dont really like that.
Dont want to go any lower to the ground, give me some advice to make this thing like superglue in the corners.!!!!!!!!!!!!
