yesterday I instaled set of front belltech adjustable coilovers, rear shocks with 2" drop and adjustable rear arms with adjustable panhard bar.
it took me 3, 1/2 hours to do everything minus aligament, everything went smooth no suprise or problems at all.
when I took it for a ride I decide that i will push it to its limit knowing that stock suspension is just lame...
so when I kicked throttle and swing first right I couldnt believe! than next left than next right this car was just glued to the pavement I was doing same circles again and again going faster and faster till tires start to slip.

I'll tell you one thing, this was the best spent $2000 in a long time, its like driving sports car even better, buddy of mine was next to me for test ride and he owns 2007 mustang roush and he said that his car doesnt handles better than my truck!!!

Guys my honest sugestion, Norcal from forum knows what he is talking about, he was very informative and help full and I got my parts in less than a week from west to east cost, so if you want your truck to handle all that power and cool look contact Norcal he will take care of your suspension like no one else.

btw he didnt gave me any special discount for this thread, I just decide to inform you that this guy meen serious buisnis when comes to suspension period.

p.s. I got hit and run friday nite, in the process of fixing it so when I'm done I'll post some photos to show you the look and for real feel of real suspension you will have to come nyc for a ride thru meen streets of manhattan.

TOLD YOU MAN!! If theres one person you can trust on these trucks with the RIGHT suspension set up its me.

[steelborn]

I hope these cats here with these beautiful machines will follow my steps when comes to suspension, Norcal thx you a million, after friday hit and run situation saturday your suspension made my weekend well!

[NORCAL SS]

No problem man i set you up pretty much the best set up out there. If your goin to do these trucks the best might as well do it right.

Im doing another ssr this friday same set up as yours. He has eibachs in there now and wants something to handle much better and I told him about this set up. Man will be be surprised when he takes it for a ride when im done lol

[Greg Ducato]

Tony, how does this suspension affect the ride comfort versus stock?

[steelborn]

eibachs sucks and we both know that...

Greg stock suspension is realy comfortable for our "rear ends" as you know but you hit the curb little faster and you hold for your own life!

Set up that Norcal sold me it is little stiffer but you are glued to the pavement, I live and drive daily in manhattan and you know how streets are over here full of potholes/manholes so if suspension is too stiff/hard I wouldnt be able to drive around, so I will say it realy rides like a sports car know but still some comfort is left, hope this will help.

[Greg Ducato]

Thanks!

I Big part of the stiffness comes from the rear upper/lower/panhard with the poly bushings. Gets rid of the stock rubber junk and really helps plant the rear tires to the ground better.

[NORCAL SS]

TALKED TO them about the rear covers they said not to worry about it. As long as bumpstop is there your ok.

[rockland]

I would like to see your set up. Been looking for a drop spindle to lower to maintain the geometry.

Are you ever in the Forest Hills area?

[steelborn]

ok, I'll check bumpstops from time to time just to be sure they are there, thx.

I sent BLACKIE a PM 3 weeks go when he purchased, so we are calling on him to tell us the before and after experience.. BLACKIE where are you......

Norcal: Next year I hope to have the funds to do this set up.

[NORCAL SS]

he has a post up in the general section "a black ssr for me" and he wrote about his feedback on the kit

[NORCAL SS]

DID ANOTHER ssr today with the DJM uppers. Much better balljoint angles and corners better due to the stock rubber bushings taken out and replaced with the new djm upper a arm/poly bushings
