I had Dave from Pro-touring F-body.com help me design the right suspension system based on the specs of my car and what I planned on doing with it, which was auto cross and spirited street cruising. I went with solid body mounts, welded DOM tubing subframe connectors, Dave's Competition front and rear spring kit (lowered 1.5" from stock height), heavy duty tie rod sleeves, adjustable shocks, front swaybar brace to go with my factory 1.25" sway bar , G-bar braces, and heavy duty rear swaybar drop links to go with my factory 1" sway bar.

Also, tubular upper and lower controls arms from DSE, 1LE front disc brakes done with SSBC parts, Willwood rear discs on a Moser 12 bolt rear and TKO-600 5-speed. I did all these mods at the same time, and the results were nothing short of astounding compared to how it handled in stock form. The ride is pretty stiff, but it's not harsh. The car is on rails, so much so that I had to change to a road race oil pan with trap doors to keep oil at the pick up during hard cornering.
