Ordered some suspension goodies!!!

I just ordered some JIC FLTA2S coilovers and Agency Power sways with adjustable endlinks. Going to order some Racing Hart R5 PRO. 19 8.5 F and 19 10.0 R. with 245 and 275 tommorrow.

Now do you guys think I should install all of these components at once or install them seperately?

I was reading through tons of stuff on the staggered setups. Do you think it's really that bad. I will have about 300-350 whp in about a month.

If the car understeers with stock tires...and you add more tire to the rear...it will push more. Expecting to use HP to break out the rear to control that wouldn;t be my first choice.

Also you can't rotate the tires so you will wear the rears out quick

Fatten up all 4....275's fit with the right offset...and leave the staggered setup for the posers

I would imagine the extra rubber will help out with more grip. I can tune the suspension with adjustable sways and coilovers now. But considering I will have significantly more power the extra rubber will be needed. I'm not worried abour rotating either.

Know I just need to figure out some rough settings on suspension to start.

I agree in a stock car you would lose balance if going staggered.

OK now I'm considering 275 for the front.

What's the ideal size and offset for 275's on all four corners?

Would this effect suspension problems in the front?

i'd say with 275 on the front would make the steering heavier than stock

Like a 9.5" wide wheel with a +45 offset is good. That's my track setup 18x9.5 +45 with 275/35/18 Falken RT615.
