I figured I might as well upgrade my suspension while I still have some time before I'll do any major turbo upgrades, so what's the best stuff out there to get my GST ready to hook up with a bigger turbo? Also is there any way to use the stock rims and larger aftermarket rim for the different seasons with out any work ither then taking on tire off and putin the other one on?

I would like to use my 16" for the winter and 17" or 18" for the summer. Thanks.
 
Damn...I think the knowledge fairy is going to have to branch out and start a side business as the "attitude correction" fairy too. :D

I will attempt to answer though (and not JUST be a wiseass). Hooking up a FWD vehicle is tough because of weight transfer. Look into KYB AGX or Tokico Illumina adjustable struts and set the rears to really stiff and the fronts soft (only under drag-type conditions) to help with weight transfer.

Also, suspension mods such as decent springs will help minimize the weight transfer effect...

Lastly, tires will provide the best option for you (drag radials, etc) once the suspension is set up properly.

These are very generic examples, but I hope it steers you in the right direction :santa: :rudolph:
 
Ha...I didn't even think of that...I just meant that I was being a wiseass, not you guys...:D

You are so right...the same shit happens on other enthusiast websites (like Thirdgen.org) and newbies ask the same G O D D A M N questions every 4 days or so WITHOUT using the search button.

At least on this board I can joke around a bit more without risking the wrath of some offended newbie...

And...

Maybe I shouldn't have used "fairy"...how about "knowledge specialist" or "attitude correction engineer" ? :D
