Going full suspension send


Recommended Posts

So after humming and hawing about what I want to do with my front suspension, I decided to bite the bullet and get the set of QA1 upper and lower street control arms. Now I won't feel so bad putting the viking setup in. 

Anyone running the control arms? I am curious if they need a plate in the bottom to mount the shock to or if it has the stock bolt locations.

Well 2 years later I finally finished the installation and took it for a first drive. I only eyeballed the alignment so its not perfect. 

First things first, it rides very firm. At least compared to what it was before. I added a rear swaybar while I was in there so that firmed up the body roll as well. Swapped my old aluminum wheels that were 225/60r15 all around. Now I am running 235/70r15 up front and 275/60r15 in the rear on corvette rallys.

Drove around a bit more today. It is a noticeable difference in handling. I do have the coils wound up pretty high so that can affect the spring rates. I have all the coilovers set to the middle I believe to see if I need to change anything yet. Might be a tad too stiff a ride. I will say that greasing the upper and lower control arms etc, I never got a single squeak out of the bushings. I was expecting it to squeak a lot at first.
