Hey, all! Hope everyone is well, and hope your lap times are faster! Got a little preoccupied with work and school, so I haven't been as active on here as I would have liked to have been, but I'm ready to start spending some money on car stuff again.
Just FYI, this will be a little long winded, so long story short: Does the following list seem like a relatively solid suspension setup?
Suspension is next for me, just got some 19x10 wheels with 285/35s, and what I am deciding between is BMR pretty much everything and the FRPP assembled pack (non-adjustable, because they dummies discontinued the adjustable ones). My goal is to keep this under 2500 if I can help it, and I don't much care for coilovers as they have to be rebuilt semi-often.
BMR Stuff:
Perf. Lowering Springs (1.5 all 4 corners)
Adjustable trailing arms (LCAs for the common folk)
Trailing arm relocation brackets
Obviously the obligatory PHB
Front 35mm adjustable sway bar, 22mm rear adjustable
Koni Orange shocks/struts (primarily to save money, but also considering the yellows)
MM Caster/Camber Plates
So, from those of you that track a lot, or just have been driving longer than me in general, is this a pretty solid setup? I've read that you can skimp on bump steer kits if you don't upgrade the front control arms, and I have also heard camber bolts work well for street driving, but figured I'd rather have more adjustability than I need than have too little. This car will be daily driven, so I don't care to go super low, and I also know these cars (s197s) need a good amount of travel to really tackle corners, and I think 1.5 is a good compromise between function and appearance. I know I'm beating a dead horse here, so thanks for your all's patience, this is just something I would love to get right the first time.
Thanks!
