Project SS!

[HAULN-SS]

Well, I catch myself at work here trying to figure out how to make this car handle better. I came across an article where someone had achieved .89g on the skidpad, and about a 65mph slalom speed. I dont want to think about what the car would currently achieve, but here's my attempt at piecing together a suspension for it, using various kits and such.

Here we go:

Energy Suspension Control Arm Bushings kit - 62$
Hotchkis tubular upper control arms - 516$
Hotchkis Tierod sleeves (pair) 53$
Hotchkis rear upper and lower trailing arms 655.95$
Hotchkis Lowering coil springs (1 - 2") set (4) 295.95
1 3/8" front and 1" rear hotchkis swaybar kit 353.95$
4 Koni's Adjustable gas shocks 102$ each
Moog balljoints 25$ each

And like 1800$ in brake kit stuff for disc brake conversion in the rear, and spindles and calipers for the front.


Grand total: 2586 or so - no tax, cause everything would be bought online.

Is building a good suspension really this expensive? Feel free to modify this list for me, or suggest cheaper alternatives please. I dont know much about the world of making a car handle, so this is just some browsing/research I was doing today.
