I have to do a full change on my suspension set up the Oem One is shut and instead of just changing the strut and shocks, I'd like to do a full set.

Since this his my DD and that I drive in winter with snow Ice and salt I choose to stay away from coilovers.

I Choose:

H&R touring cup kit item part # 31040t-1
HOTCHKIS H-SPORT 2-PIECE REAR CAMBER LINKS item part #13800
HOTCHKIS H-SPORT rear sway bars item part #22800r
WHITELINE R53 Rear end links item part #klc006
POWERFLEX Front wishbone rear bushing item part #pff5-101 (there's supposed to come by pair)
CRAVENSPEED strut tower defender item part #crmc-0040

I don't think I'm missing anything but you can correct me if I'm wrong!

Camber plates would be an overkill right??? or should a get some instead of the tower defender???

Thanks

 

I have a similar setup to the one you are looking into but by no means an expert.

The rear end links are not necessary if you don't have coil-overs. They are used to remove pre-load on the anti-sway bar due to corner weighting.

If you are doing the strut tower defenders i would just go with the Ireland fixed camber plates. The added camber up font is a universally accepted good thing on minis.

The front control arm bruising do come as a pair.

Thanks jonathan for your reply

So your saying that I can ditch the rear end links, and instead of go with Craven speed ST defender I should go with camber plates I'd like some adjustment on the camber and to be able to adjust the damping on the struts (koni in the H&R kit)
What would you recommend

Thaks again

 

Correct, you don't need the end links just reuse the stockers. I only have the Ireland fixed camber plates, they add -1.25deg. while on most you will not have perfect camber match left to right unless you are racing i was told not to worry about it. Adj front camber is out of my realm of knowledge, i haven't used any of them. the Vorshlag seem to be the best but they aren't cheap but you can adjust your dampers. If you are unsure i would give any of the vendors a call they are are very helpful and will not lead you wrong. -Jonathan

 

Yeah unless your a race car driver the end links are not necessary. Plus that brand is noisey and will wear out.

 

Defenitly not a race car driver, Still trying to convince my wife to let me autocross the darn thing
