Default suspension package needed

looking for a 928 track suspension package.
Does anyone have a suggestion or maybe even a used set for sale?
I saw a complete package at 928 motorsports.

If you are serious about tracking the car and not too much else.
Talk to Carl and see if he has any more of those race upper A Arms,

but for suspension I would recommend that you get something like a Leda, or another 2 or more externally adjustable shock. I have the Konis, and imo the rebound is ok, could use more dampening though!

I have a new set of Eibach's for sale at standard price of $295, which is what I paid for them but never installed them.

one other note, if you plan on tracking this car, do NOT use the eibach springs. get a proper coilover setup, it is FAR superior.

Why did you have to go and say this, now I will never be able to sell these things!

No offence Andre, but I doubt you will ever get the money you paid for those spring back, esp seeing as they can buy them for that price from one of the venders at the same time as shocks.

only way I see that happening is if you sell them to someone locally.

as serious as one could get with $1500 budget for suspension...

How is that 500/1000 race package that Carl offers?

I have the 600/400 with Koni adj. reds.
Great for street and occasional autocross, but would assume you'd need way more for serious track stuff.

Please tell me more. I've never driven on coilovers, and I have Eibachs on my car right now (along with Bilstein shocks). I'm very happy with the balance of ride comfort and agressive handling on demand this set up provides. I'm blissfully ignoant, I guess. And maybe just trying to help out Andre... but it's all the God's honest truth.

Chuck,

I love that avatar with your race-prepped car in a parking garage...

*LOL* It has more decals now and draws alot of attention when I drive it to the track...

My favorite though was when I drove it home from the track with a straight pipe... Geeeeeeeeezzz.. that even scared me... but it was great - pulling up next to a "Ricer" and stepping on the throttle.. the noise alone was enough to end any thought of racing..
