Need suspension to maintain car stability
Hey guys,
I'm new to suspension and I have no experience to any. I know they provide stability to the car's movement such as turning, going over bumps, etc. It's basically stability so to speak. I'm sure they are helpful if you are going to race? I feel like my hatch doesn't do too well on highways since it required a lot of speeding. It will shake and vibrate if I'm going really fast. It's quite a disappointment. Sometimes, I like to speed on the roads and highways, really fast - hah! But then I always end up breaking something. It's either a blown tire/flat tire, axle damaged, whatever. I mean, I won't slam it.. Well maybe I will if I want to? lol. Yet at the same time I just want a good smooth strong stability ride. That said, I might not have a good suspension that will help me with these issues. So I'm looking to buy something that will help me to overcome this. What can you guys recommend me? Maybe start with sway bar first? Any idea?

Wheels and tires and suspension is all into one. They rely on one another to give a healthy smooth ride. It help over bumps shocks and springs, it help the car from bouncing and being twist so you have more control.
I also notice that every time I go over bumps it doesn't seem like my car is absorbing the bumps wheel always turn to whatever side. I need to get alignment check and well check balance. My car is already low so I don' think I need to drop it anymore. I have regular red springs and shocks. Not sure what kind of shock is it though. So where should I start? I know this mechanic guy that owns a shop very close to me. He doesn't mind putting these things together for me.

So. That mean you're not going to read up about how suspension works? Because what you told me aint it.
Maybe have the alignment guy explain it to you.

What I told you is exactly it. At least my vulgar version of it. It helps to cushion the car when going over bumps and will compensate for how the tires are moving so that we won't feel all that crappy movement while we are driving. As simple as that. You don't need a scientific 101 explanation of how every thing operates. Just common sense.

Andcommon sense doesn't seem to be able to help you figure out what suspension to buy, NOR understand anything technical we may tell you NOR understand how these suspension parts interact with each other.
And with the level of your previous posts there's no way to convince me that you WILL understand because they all seem to lack basic knowledge of cars in general.
For instance, the thread on "How to slow down". WTF?

A little look at the sticky section at the top of this page and you would have found this little gem. If you don't look at this, don't expect much help, these guys don't like to spoonfeed that much.

But before you go out and buy anything, get an alignment and stop speeding before you kill someone.

Hm. Well your explanation is about as bereft of any kind of technical information as there is water in a desert.

The grumpy man was trying to help you but go ahead, we're just hatin yo! If you don't want to read anything useful that someone gives you just start throwing parts at your car and don't come back when things don't work out.
BTW, when I first started out wanting to make changes to my suspension I was lost, completely and utterly. There is a great wealth of information on this forum, specifically the stickys at the top of this page. Using the info there, I've done alot of positive changes to my cars handling just by reading through the gathered info there.

Well how could you know that? Do you yourself know what is it before you can tell me what it is not? You only post 2 links so how can I take you seriously? Naw I mean? So your lack of understanding is not my problem. If you don't want to offer some help then don't. I'm not trying to convince you.
Go with swaybars. You'll be back asking which ones you should get because you don't know how THEY work. Reading is fundamental. Always with you kids you wanting something with no work on your part. Like the world owes you something because you have the ability to breath. When directed to educate yourselves and benefit from the process of learning something you get angry and throw temper tantrums.
With the dozens upon dozens of threads and garages listing suspension setups of all kinds for all kinds of usages how the hell do you or anyone else that keeps asking this kindergarten level question not have any idea what suspension components to purchase?

Hey man. The second link was a Google search with over 63 million results so I know you didn't even bother to look at either link. That tells me you don't like to read which explains why you don't seem to know ****. Which explains why you didn't do a search before posting this redundant question. You write like a 16 year old that skips a lot of school and your ability to form coherent sentences is hellified atrocious. Plus your post history tells me that you don't have a damn clue how your whole car works much less your suspension. You're running around with a car that needs a friggin' alignment but since you don't know **** about your car you don't understand that the need for alignment is causing the vibration you're complaining about. And if all you read was the stickies at the top of the forum you would already know that you cannot slam your car and have a comfortable ride. You would also have gotten the answer to your questions and never have needed to post in the first place. THAT'S what and how I know.
