suspension question

is it better to combo up suspension products....

ie cusco strut/swat bars/pillar side bar

or is it common for them not to match

ie jic strut bars/ST sway/etc


part 2

carbon fiber strut bars mainly for looks, does the same as the polished and just as well?

it doesnt matter if you switch brands for different parts. personally i wanted to go all Cusco, but then i realized their stuff is wicked expensive, so i just got the stabilizers and tower bars. i went with Tein for dumpers and tension rods.

i have a carbon fiber front tower bar. its just looks. i wish i just spent less money on a regular bar. oh well, i'm blingin. now so its all good.

WHO CARES
do they work? Yes.
do they perform the same function? Yes.

then does it matter? NO

unless your sponsored, taht's another story

its like buying name brand clothes when you can get the EXACT same thing for cheaper.


dont be a billboard.

I can't attest to the theory as I'm never goin to buy whiteline springs...BUT

Some manufacturers such as Whiteline, designed their sway bars around the car using their bushings and springs. The parts are in theory, according to Whiteline, matched to each other.


But if you are like most people, tune your car they way you want. use what works.

True with parts that have set settings. But if we're talking adjustable parts (coilovers, camber plates, adj suspension arms), then a part of any brand will do the same function for you. Now it just comes down to who makes the better quality product...
