I am looking for recommendations for a new suspension for my Beretta GTZ
for SP or ST usage. I figure if I want to have a chance against these
lighter cars then suspension is where I need to spend my money. (what I have)
I have not decided which class I will run in. (I could also use an
online version of both sets of rules)
I am also contemplating poly bushings in the front suspension. Most of
these parts I am looking for would fit J-body, L-body and N-body GM cars
with little to no modifications.
I am also up for suggestions for setup in all areas and could really use
some type of information for deciding on spring weights, dampening and
the like. I will drive the car daily, but can take some abuse. (one
more reason for adjustable items)
The car is FWD, ~64/36% weight distribution and about 2800 lbs. I run
on 15x7 factory GT wheels and 225/50/15 Toyo RA1. (yea I know they suck
for a long time.) The bolt pattern is 5X100 if anyone has any old
(light) wheels to get rid of. I don't think that anything under 14 inch
will fit over my brakes. (ABS)
I'm really looking for adjustablility because I'm sure the car will
slowly go through a progression as I have money. (I think I want to
strip the car for next years Nationals just so I can hang out with Dick
Burger at nationals!) (_|_) ;^) I can adjust things with time better
than I can purchase multiple sets of parts with money. I'd rather have
one cash outlay that has adjustable components. If this is not possible
then I may look into other things.
Hasn't anyone out there campaigned these cars when they were new?
Anyone out there have any old parts laying around they would like to get
rid of? I take handouts. :^)
Thanks!
