Hi all,
Im in a quandry over what to do with my suspension. It seems that over the last 20,000 miles, the S1 springs I have in there have seemed to lose their "effectiveness". It seems that on launches I get a LOT of lift compared to when I first installed them, and I seem to get a lot more body roll then I recall when they were first installed.
Granted, I moved up from S1/I/E to S2 w/ toys/I/E/Cams/Gears which might explain the amount of "rock" i get on launches, but the body roll in corners just seems more then when I first got them.
I have about 45k on my car now, with the springs installed around 18k. I did a lot of commuting up and down broad street in philly, so they definately got a workout (you philly people know what im talkin about). I took it to two different dealers to try and get them to change the struts under warranty, and both of them said the struts were fine. I suspect its BS, so Im looking at options.
If I order ASAP, I can get the mopar s3 kit for a little over 1000.00. That is the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM i could even THINK about spending (and I really shouldnt but this lack of handling is pissing me off). In addition to a bushing change, are there any suspension alternatives to S3 under 1000? If so, can you provide links where you bought your kit from? Ive seen a bunch of names but Im having trouble finding kits from my usual vendor webpages.
Thanks in advance.
