ikessky Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Has anyone here had experience with any of the suspension/chassis upgrades for the W's? I was looking at the Regal parts on 3800performance.com and was wondering if any of them were worth the money. I'm talking about the BMR products. Are there any cheaper alternatives that will yeild similar results? My '01 Century was definitely not made to be a performance car, but I would like it to handle a little better than it does. Also, what are my options for new struts? I found a set of adjustable Koni's (fully assembled units with lowering springs) for around $850-900. I have a pair of KYB struts on my other car (N-body) and don't really like how they ride for some reason. I'm open to any ideas and advice!!!

cutsup1996 Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 friend of mine got the whole polyurethane bushing suspension kit from RSM on his cutty and it made a big difference. I am thinking of getting them now but still seems high priced. better handling, and cornering, surefootedness, we were takin' curves 5mph faster than before when the tires would start to screech.

Guest TurboSedan Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 what bushings does the RSM kit come with? are any special tools needed for installation or do i have to take the parts to a shop that has a hydraulic press? joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutsup1996 Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 the bushings replace every single rubber bushing in your suspension, it would take a long time with jacks and our tools to have done it but we could have, he just took it to a speed shop and they had it done inna couple hrs.

Thabulldog Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Take a Century to a Speed shop I'm sure the mechanics would be like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikessky Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Take a Century to a Speed shop I'm sure the mechanics would be like And what do they say about 1990 Euro Luminas? Just joking mainly..... Anyway, I would be installing all the components along with my new engine in my garage. This way, no one sees it and no one knows what I'm running until they get their doors blown off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikessky Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 At least its a coupe A sleeper Century, I hope you do it for real though Ah, you got me there! I love sleepers! I probably won't do the engine swap for quite a while. I'll mod the 3100 for now and see how long it lasts. I'll be upgrading components as they need it. It may take a while, but I have the go-ahead from the powers-that-be (my wife!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikessky Posted February 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I do. And that their response to all of your questions and problems is the reason I will probably never use any of their products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
