      Global West Cat5 or Wayne Due?

      I havent' spent money on my car lately, and I've got an itch to upgrade my suspension.

      This is a street driven car, max 400hp, canyons and uneven city streets.



      I just want an upgrade that'll make my car more fun to drive.

      I think the more experienced guys will chime in for this but, Why limit yourself to just those two options.... For what your goals are the money would be better spent with starting with the Guldstrand Mod on the stock frame, Speed tech, GW, or DSE tubular uppers, Del-a lum bushings, DSE, or GW subframe connectors, and Good shocks, front and rear. Also a good set of GW, Hotchkis, or eaton coils, for the front and like wise leafs for the rear.... Alll the above probably wouldn't add up to how much you would spend on a WD sub.......

      Oh, I left out an AGR or something like box, and hollow 1 to 1, 1/8 front sway bar....

      With that you should be in business...and happy

      Just remember the CAT5 uses a fabbed spindle for improved geometry and uses GW's Wilwood setup. While it is a great system, try what Rob07002 suggested:
      Guldstarnd Mod
      Tubular Uppers
      Tubular Lowers
      Good Disc Brakes
      New Steering components including Box or an RP unit
      Get springs and shocks recommended by the people you buy your arms from (just how I like to do things since they probably test their vehicles with those combinations).
      The WD setup uses Corvette stuff which is easily serviced/replaceable. Using the above parts are also serviced with OTC parts and that kind of thing is important (again, to me at least).

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
