Well when the time comes to beef up my suspension, I'm kind of looking into the Steeda parts. They have many "packages" for daily driving and for drag racing. They're high priced but are they worth it? I definately think it's true that you get what you pay for, but is Steeda suspension truly overrated?!?!

 

Depends on what you are willing to spend. Personally, id go for a maximum motorsports package over steeda, in the end id rather peice my own togeather. Price out a setup you would like individually, and then check out the difference between the packages.

 

I'm a big fan of buying proven packages over the mix and match method.This way all the things you get are meant to work together right out of the box.Also when you have tuning questions you can call the supplier and hopefully get answers.

 

I found a package that I think I feel in love with. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/giab3.asp

let me know what ya'll think of that package

 

That looks like a nice kit. buy it!

 

MM over everything. They have great products. One day, mine will have the complete setup...I hope...

 

Also most of Steeda's stuff is made by someone else with Steeda stamped on it.

 

maybe some of it but definitely not most. i've seen the steeda shop, they definitely make a lot of **** there.

as for brands, id use maximum motorsports over steeda.

 

For suspension, I would go with MM. They are the suspension specialists.

 

When I do the suspension (look at the link a little above) I'm also going to do a gear change. Anything else I need to do the rear end while im there? Will be around 375RWHP when doing this.

 

Everything steeda sells, is waaayy overrated....

 

But getting the suspension packs in stages like they have it, you probly spend around the same for other brands.

 

I think Steeda makes some really good parts, but there are a few companies that do a bit better in certain areas. I like their stuff either way.

As far as your rear end goes.. wouldn't hurt to go with 31 spline axels and a new differential.. but I don't think it's necessary. I've known people to break stock rearends only pushing 250rwhp.. it's all in how you launch and what tires your on.

 

Tim @ MPH really praises Metco lower control arms in case you are interested.

 

Steeda charges what they charge because people will buy it. Simple as that. If you find an identical-looking part from another company, buy it..chances are it won't be much different

 

Well i've decided on the package from maximum motorsports. The link is a few posts above, looks like a great package and EXACTLY what I was looking for. But yea, i don't know much about my rear end if I need to do anything

 

Wow 250rwhp breaking a rearend...yikes!
