  • Suspension setup

    Second gen probe gt 1994

    Any ideas for a cheap but reliable adjustable rear strut?
    Thinking about running front set of stags wit lotek 1.8 lowering springs and ford escort front strut mounting plates.
    And running lotek lowering springs in the rear but a adjustable strut and stiffen the hell outta rear end!
    Any cheap but reliable ideas, I really wanna be able to stiffen the rear strut for almost no movement.

    What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this? I assume better handling, but do you want to keep a somewhat comfortable ride? If that's the case, I would start with just a bigger rear sway bar. If you don't care about ride comfort, then a combination of giant rear sway bar and stiffer struts is the way to go.
    Also keep in mind that suspension movement is primarily controlled by the springs, so the only way to really achieve "almost no movement" is with super high spring rates. In that case, your best bet is either coilover sleeves or full coilovers, which give a much wider range of spring rate options.
    On the other hand, if you've already made up your mind and are just looking for a set of good quality adjustable struts, then here's what you're looking for: http://forums.probetalk.com/showthread.php?t=1701316384 (and scroll down a bit)

        Okay I'll check it out,
        I do not care about comfortable ride,
        I wanna be able to stop that recoil towards back of the car.
