Default suspension questionaire! m factory parts, top of the line build

i tried to search suspension, and car specific not much info on this yet.

Is anyone using M Factory suspension products on there EF chassis?
http://www.teammfactory.com/pr...20Kit

there sway bar kit looks very good, any reviews?
only the color kills me!

anyone using the toe kit or camber kit?

the rear LCA's look amazing, just curious about their other products.. any advice is helpful..

cant decide on a what to go with... i want a top of the line suspension, nothing short of perfection.. let me know what parts to go with..

ASR doesnt make a subframe brace
what else can be changed..energy suspension bushings?

^ Planning on going mFactory myself once I get a few more things squared away on my car, but from everything I've heard their products are great/customer service is top notch. You might want to call mFactory about that rear subframe brace though. Not sure if it's included in the EF kit as it isn't really necessary (swaybars on our cars mount to the OEM towhook location, not the subframe). I've seen pictures of the ASR brace and it's mounted to the OEM towhook location as well .

That is a really nice looking sway bar setup. I've never seen it (up until now)
Putting together the perfect suspension will depend alot on what the intended use will be. With that said, the M Factory piece looks like a nice starting point. ( I personally use a ST sway bar, K Sport LCAs, NRG rear lower tie bar, stock front sway bar, KYBs, and Ground Controls)

ASR doesn't have a subframe brace for 88-91. I think you are thinking of the ASR sway bar.

hopefully ASR steps up and comes out with something soon...

untill then its looking like
- KY/GC coils
-ST Sway Bar
-MFactory LCA'S, Toe Kit, Rear camber kit, tie bar.
-PWJDM spherical bearing

- what do you think about fron camber kits...

is it still worth it to buy a Energry Suspension Full kit??

They REALLY arn't needed on these cars.

MF factory makes top notch parts, the LCAs in my eyes are a waste of money, I and many others who've been road racing for years feel they arn't needed.

I used all of MFactory's rear suspension stuff. Haven't driven on it yet, but the parts are well made. Probably the beefiest toe adjusters and camber arms I've seen.

So if the M-Factory is "AMAZING" dont you think its worth the money?

Any reviews on either of these Camber Adjustable UCA's?

Money isnt an issue when you want everything done right

It really just depends on your application. If you really are picky about weight savings, having LCA's that weigh only 2.5lb's each can be a godsend.

Same again can be said about the bushings. If you want the utmost precision and near-zero deflection, you can't get any better than spherical bearings.

However, some classes don't allow this sort of modification, and for some people, this may be OTT for what they require (e.g weekend warrior etc). In this case, hard rubber bushes may be the better choice. If this is the case though, you really can't get any better than the oem rubber bushes, which is why to some, keeping the oem LCA's is the best choice.

Cheap PU bushes aren't even worthy of a mention here, so I won't even go into that.
