Suspension Shopping List

Well after reading countless posts this is what I have settled on. Please let me know if I have forgotten anything. This is for a 2013 base GT non brembo however I had one question regarding the strut mounts. I don't track the car but enjoy a random drag strip visit.

Steeda Sports
Koni STR.T
FRPP bump stops
Dust Boots
Coil Spring Sleeves
Steeda Strut Mounts (Do I still need to purchase the GT500 Strut Mounts or can I go with just these)

This is one of the packages I looking at buying.

Future Mods: BMR PHB and camber bolts if needed.

Thanks

That package uses the earlier struts (05-10) and Steeda HD strut mounts. Even the package states "2011-Up Models Must Use a 2005-10 Isolator Which is Not Included", so you would need to buy the GT500 strut mounts for the spring isolators. Or maybe you want to consider going with the 11+ struts, then the use Steeda HD strut mounts for 11+. Either way, it'll cost more.

I'm doing the Koni yellows, Steeda sport springs and Steeda HD strut mounts, all for 11+. I'll just trim the OE bump stops.

If you are not buying caster camber plates, I'd recommend camber bolts. This car allows very little to no adjustment in the front.

Thanks for the heads up.

Probably will since they are not expensive anyway. I was gonna see if it could be aligned without them.

Thanks

Crap I just bought my Steeda watts link a few weeks ago! Can't wait to try it out this weekend for the first time.

Just curious do they make coil spring spacers for these cars? Just in case the front settles to much for me...I would like to have the option to raise it up a little if I had too.
