Coilover/Suspension Advice and/or Experience

Man, I would love to refresh all the suspension bushings on my car... it just seems like such a pain in the ass to do. What brand bushings did you refresh them with? Maybe I could have a shop do the work.

You can use the Energy Suspension bushings kit, that is what V8Roadsters has for our cars.

If you plan to keep your car forever and a day, or if you are making a track car and want the ultimate upgrade you can get the full tubular kit from V8Roadsters as well. Its not cheap, but it has all the bushings installed, plus lighter weight with tubular arms, and more room for adjustments.

Forgive my suspension geometry ignorance but what is the advantage of NB Arms over NA Arms and do they bolt right onto the NA?

There is more room for suspension adjustments from what I have read, Im sure some others that have done this suspension modification can explain it better.

IIRC one of our members "the Driver" had recently upgraded to an NB suspension setup, maybe we can get him to chime in on this?

To use NB arms, you'll need the NB subframe. If doing the front, you'll also need the NB steering rack. The advantages, are additional camber, out of a "factory" suspension.

Not necessarily. I used NB arms front and rear on NA F&R subframes. The front knuckles should also be from an NB, but have read of people shimming the extra length of the upper balljoint stud with washers. The F&R sways will need different endlinks, either OE NB or aftermarket adjustables.
