Make a fourth gen handle?

[bottledbird68]

So, since it looks like I'm gonna be stuck with the 95 is there a cheap way to make it not handle like a dump truck lol?
Basically I'd be happy if it handles as good as a stock ws6 third gen formula.

Or, am I stuck dropping a grand on springs/shocks/sway bars if I want it to corner nice?

If it's gonna stay I may as well enjoy driving it lol.

the set up i had on mine which i think handled great was.

Bilstien HD shocks
Summit lowering springs
1LE sways
BMR LCAs + PHB

Mine has UMI LCAs and PHB as well as a spohn chromoly sway bar on mine. Im also using comp engineering adjustables and a set of newer springs from a 4th gen ws6 car.

Josh, third gens are light years ahead of fourth gens in the handling department imo. My stock 87 formula would run rings around the 95 z.

Mike, how would you say that combo handled compared to your subie?

sub frame connectors!!!!!!

are you talking about ride quality or handling?

My car is tight and handles great i got full suspension (non adjustable) stock springs and kyb agx adjustable shocks. Tires grab good in corners id like to get lowering springs and the adjustable suspension parts and better holdig seats. Im only 145 lb so i hit the door in corners LOL.

ps my car is hardtop weee

i agree with pizza just getting sub frame connecters is a night and day difference. i did that with my car then i got lowering springs and bilstien shocks(thanks mike), tubular lower control arms, pan hard bar and a tubular non adjustable torque arm. just shop around i was able to do this for just under a g-note.with this stuff done the car to me handles great, i dont mind a car that rides a little stiff, i like to have the feel of the road more while i drive.

Handling wise. Could care less about ride quality.

Thankfully she doesn't either. She's the one who keeps her coil overs on full stiff in the subie cause she doesn't like the feel of them softer lol.

Trust me, this car needs more than just subframe connectors. I know what kind of difference they make and this car needs more than that for me to trust it like the wrx or my stock 87 ws6 formy.

i say subframes First and buiold off that. you can have all the shock in the world. but if the chassis itself gives it still feels like poop

[frankzlt1]

Yes I agree ^^^^ sub frame connectors would best thing for your car.

[KLAB]

I say hack in the cts IRS rear 98 posted and qa1 coil overs sub frame connectors roll cage and full tubular suspension. I but you would like those results.
