Suspension redo 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Al on  Sun Jan 23 11:14 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Before you start spending money think about re-doing the bushings all around the car. Replacing them will dramaticly tighten up the car.After 14 years those bushings are pretty well shot by now.
Then add the bilsteins, 22 mm sway bars and chassis braces. I re-did my suspension with all the fun parts and the only one I wouldn't do again is the stiffer lowering springs. They made the suspension a little too hard. When on the interstate the car is a dream to drive at high speed. But on local rough roads it can be a bear to deal with. It can be a pretty hard ride to live with over the long term. I will admit with the lowering springs and the Hydras my 1987 745T looks very nice.
