stiffening my front end

[ff_drift_lol]

i have ground force fronts and some ahem...modified progress rears. (done legit this time). i trashed the coilover rear thing cause one of the struts bent.
the progress rears are great since the spring's rate is higher than normal, but my ground force fronts are mooshy and me no likey. i am talking about spring rates. let's discuss overall what i can do to stiffen my front end.

how did you modify the springs, srsly pm me I'm dying of wheelgap with my ssc's

What struts are you running? Changing out to a set of koni inserts will help out the spongy feel. I had sportlines and konis on my LT with stock sway and twb, thing handled like a gokart and wasnt spongy at all. But then again I think sportlines have a higher spring rate.

yea, i need to figure out how to get rid of my wheel gap as well, and i doubt the 17s im buying will help any

Was gonna make a joke about that.

lololol i was waiting for someone to catch that. yeah anyway, i was wondering about those koni inserts, anyone know where i can get specs on those?

what about adjustable stabilizer bar end links? never really understood those either.

 

[gberland]

yeah didnt kno u could get adjustable stabilizer ends?? or are u talking about Tie rod ends?? if so all those do is control your alignment angles , but the stabilizer bar controls your side forces when doing sharp turns or going over bumps mabey getting a stiffer stabilizer bar might help? or a strut tower bar? if thats what your talking bout

 

[ff_drift_lol]

i have a strut tower bar, i'm saying the end links on the stabilizer bar i've seen them come adjustable. i've never even looked into what the hell a stabilizer bar does for your suspension, i just fix it if it looks broken lol.

 

[ionit3]

i have adjustable, only ones ill ever trust is powergrid cuz im on my third company with the same fail results and powergrid has been going fine for 100k miles on several cars

 

[ff_drift_lol]

what the hell do they do

 

[dman090]

what the hell do they do

they dont break like the shitty stock ones lol, htey also fix some clunks coming from your front end

i personally dont have any swaybar endlinks at all, my front is disconnected

 

[ionit3]

it fixes clunks, and you can adjust the stiffnes of the front end by raising or lowering the front sway bar. mainly only usable for road racing and auto x

 

[ff_drift_lol]

i see, so this sounds like a good investment. how about those koni inserts? for example, not that i would do this, but if i were dumb enough to put my old cut springs back on with koni yellows, adjust the dampening correctly for the drop and drive down the highway would they bounce like my stockers? this is another thing i never understood. basically, are the strut rods shorter?
