Hey guys,

So, after 110k miles, the suspension on the car is not quite what it used to be.. I want to replace it with a new set-up.. What is a good way to go..? I want stiffer and a little lower wouldn't hurt either..! I also want to use beefier sway bars and get a set of front and rear strut bars.. I'll probably getthe ZZP strut bars, but what's a good set of sways to get? I saw that GMPD has a set.. But what's the best for the money?

Also, the brakes are fine, but I want to upgrade them.. You can generally do a basic drilled/slotted rotor swap, better fluid, Green Stuff pads, and braided lines on most cars.. This a good starting point?..? I'm also interested in possibilities/prices of a 4-piston set-up.. Anything?

Thanks!

 

I've got Eibach springs, lowered 1 - 1/2", KYB struts, and SLP sway bars on my '02. I'm running 255-45-17 z-rated tires. I've also got drilled rotors (wish I had gone with drilled and slotted), Hawk carbon fiber pads, and stainless brake lines. It's time for new pads and I'm going with ceramic. I'm pretty happy with this setup, though. Handles well, still comfortable ride, and stops like you threw out an anchor.There was several threads on here about swapping Z-28 calipers onto the MC. Might be something to look in to.

 

Forget the drilled rotors, but put on some slotted and plated rotors. Powerslots are what I have on ALL our vehicles that I have done brakes on, along with Hawk HPS pads. They run clean, and have GREAT life. I did a brake job on my Intimidator SS last fall. The brakes came off my 01 SS LE, and had 35K on them then. At 115K miles, 2 cars, and 4 years later, I finally changed them, and the front rotors. Probably could've gotten another 20K miles on them, but I wanted new brakes before winter, and I had the F-body dual piston calipers ready to put on, along with braided hoses.

 

c5 and c6 calipers work too.
