Track increase will be an issue for a road car.

Re: Sc14 to buick and e85
What do you reckon will be the better choice?
Kmac fully adjustable strut tops for $480 or adjustable radius rods for similar price + $170 stock spec tops from superpro?
The kmac strut tops are the cheapest option but not sure how much adjustment they give compared to the adjustable rods?
Its for my daily VP. Will be a test pilot for this sort of setup later to be implemented on the S pack.

Re: Sc14 to buick and e85
What re you trying to achieve? I would suggest you would need both if you are aiming for maximum adjustability. If I had to choose I would pick strut tops as they will give you camber and caster.

Re: Sc14 to buick and e85
just a heap more caster and ability to tweak camber slightly.
the VP S will get both, but the vacationer is just a daily so I don't want to go blow stupid amounts of money, want to spread the money around the whole car lol.

Re: Sc14 to buick and e85
I would go with strut tops. You have vr lca's I think from your thread? May need son correction in camber and caster, so I think strut tops are the best each way bet.

Re: Sc14 to buick and e85
nah different car, this is all bog stock vp setup atm other than shitty noalthane adjustable tops (useless) and superpro bushes all round.
Car is due for its 3rd complete suspension rebuild, 3.5th rebuild actually. Scored a set of front Boge shocks, NOS ones for 93? bucks.
Going for Kmac 30mm front bar and their stage 2 tops, superpro all round except noalthane front bar links due to their better upper link bush design.
Will handle great whilst being country friendly.

You can get all ball jointed swaybar link pins if you want. Saves the link pin bush drama.

never had any dramas with the nolthane ones, mine have been going great for over 2 years now and over 100k of harsh roads and driving under their belt, looks like they could do another 50k at least. I bet the ball joint ones wont even last that long as most aftermarket ball joints are junk. Only the road-safe brand has be proven for me. And genuine TWR of course.

Re: Sc14 to buick and e85
Got a bit done on the car today. It's been around 3 weeks since I've touched it.
