Alright to anyone who didn't see my thread in the Chassis section http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=13326

After some much appreciated help from Sam and Trackbird and other members (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I've compiled my list:

Shocks http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...1&ModelID=4

Springs http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...4&ModelID=4

Panhard bar http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...9&ModelID=4

although for the record Sam recommended the watts link (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) but I would've had to ditch something else for it's sake . . . so panhard it is . . .

and C5 brakes http://www.kore3.com/proddetail.php?prod=10105-01

minus the brackets which I will get from a forum member . . .

Sound good to everyone ? ? ?

Thank you for all your advice and help (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)

I'm probably gonna start ordering next week so speak now or forever hold you peace . . . (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

As far as the C5 brakes go I'm kinda decided on that (i'd rather have to much brake than not enough) and as far as using the factory mounts I don't care . . . . this is a some what of a daily driver that I just want to handle better and hopefully get to a road course here and there.

Saving money I have no problem with . . . I just posted that link to demonstrate what I was getting . . .

No problem going with the Koni 3's hopefully I'll be able to buy them from Sam pre-set cause I would have no idea what I was doing . . .

But that would free up enough money to switch to the watts link . . . Is this really that much better than a panhard bar? Honestly one of the reasons I decided on the panhard bar is cause I found the watts link kinda intimidating cause Sam was talking about adjustable sway bars and stuff and again I have no idea what I'm doing (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Is there any kind of recommended reading or something for this, I know the best way to learn is by doing and I'm working on it but at least reading up a little bit would give me a base to work from . . . .

Thanks again for any and all help guys . . . (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)
