A word of warning:
EvM's Watts-Link and Maximum Motorsports Coil-Over kits have an major incompatability in the mounting locations. There is a thread over at CC.com detailing the issue. Just a heads up for people who already have coil-overs.

I had their V brace (mounts just in front of the radiator) on my GT and for such a small and insignificant pieces of metal, it made a very noticable difference. The front of the car felt like it had a little less give to it going through turns.

Really. Well I just order front coil overs from MM but still hesitate about the rear suspension? I really like the Tri-Link and I will probably go with that but the watts link and not being able to mount MM's rear coil-overs is a little troubling sense that's what I was going use. I might just get the MM panhard bar and EVM's TriLink with 225 or 250 rear coilover springs and 325 or 350 front coil over spings.

Minimum 350 Front / 225 Rear Maximum
Anything above 225#'s in the rear with their "Sport" valved Bilsteins and it will "pogo" over bridge seams. You can't go wrong with the Tri-Link/MM PHB combination. I have it on my car and the only complaint is my 315 wide tires rub the fenderwell at full compression.

I have Bilstein heavy duty's up front. Is this a problem?
Should I replace them for sports? What's the real difference? Last edited by Sendero; 09-27-2006 at 06:46 PM. |

The only difference between the shocks is valving. The "heavier" shocks/struts are for springs with a high rate. Because the larger springs can exert a greater amount of pressure you'll need a shock that can control the jounce and rebound of the suspension.

The shocks are just the regular heavy duty's not MM sports. I ordered 350 spring rate and will use 250 spring rate for the rear. I called and talked with MM. I love those guys, they are so knowledgable.
