shocks?

[c4racer2]

sounds a lot like my current set-up as well. Even as far as having a boxed up set of Bilstein shocks for the front that I am on the fence about returning.

What is driving my decision is really the back-end - I am pretty sure that ultimately I want a 4-link or TA set-up with coil overs and would like to run 315-35-18 tires with the factory tubs and still tucked under the fenders. Currently the springs are the limiting factor and I can fit a 295 tire. But I think for ultimate handling, ride and traction I am going to want a more modern rear suspension package.

So since I am planning on either the SpeedTech or ridetech rear, with RT shocks either way - I am leaning towards going with RT shocks up front now instead of installing those Bilsteins. That will also allow me to dial in the exact ride height to optimize the set-up for 275-35-18 front tires too and give the best ride / handling set-up. And here is my logic - stay with me here - if I am doing RT coil overs on all 4 corners and RT or ST upper and lower control arms, the additional cost to go with the full package from RT is less that $1K and that includes steering linkage which will run about $300 for me since I haven't done that yet.



This is called the snow-ball effect people.
