Help me decide, I want to lower my car, I only want the SVT suspension, the Ford Racing suspension or the Saleen suspension and the saleen is real cheap right now. How much will each kit lower my ride and what is the best bang for the buck?

My Ebiach Pro-kit was nice, easy to install, and cheap.

im goin with spax. look on batinc.net, they are a littl stiff but no one ever said that slot cars road nice. for the price you get hight,damp,rebound, and with the help of the preload springs being adjustable as well , spring rate adjustability. :twisted:

no complaints here with the "FORD" suspension from Steve. Dynamic Multimatic FTW. Doesn't lower the car but an inch or inch and a half, but it handles great and gets rid of some fender gap.

I think the best bang for the buck is going to be the SVT suspension, it runs about $250 for the whole kit, drops about an 1"-1.5".

If you go with a kit with coil overs, any time you change the height, your alignment will be off.

The coil overs are all gone.

I have the K-W shock-strut-spring setup and the SVT but thats about it at this point.

My SVT is going to be getting the Multimatic/Dynamic kit. :twisted:
