My Intentions:

 

1. Mostly track use

2. Occasional weekend driver

3. Possibly race in the future - time and money dependant

 

My current suspension set up and condition after the refurb:

 

Full Refresh incl.

Powdercoated Wishbones and uprights

Ball Joints

Track Rod Ends

 

Rack Raiser Plates

Castor Washers

Shim Kit (currently not used)

ABS Shims

 

Top Ball Joint Mounts

Wheel Hubs/Bearings

Strut Mounts

EliseShop Upgraded Toe Links and Brace Bar

 

EliseShop Hurricane Quick Rack

EliseParts Reduced Bump Steer Kit

JG Bolt Refresh Kits

SuperPro Bushes

 

Pilbeam ARB and Drop Links

GAZ Gold Pro II's

 

What would you buy?

 

The Gaz's ive had for 6 months or so, great improvement over standard billies, but feel there may be something better suited for my new setup...what do you suggest?

 

Im also after some new wheels and tyres to compliment the setup...i have some TD's which i will have as a spare set, these are wrapped in the Federal RSR's, but what else is worth looking into? - I am currently doing lots of bodywork so can extend the arches for wider wheels/tyres

Don't know if you have been out on track but it's the place that highlights characteristics like no where else. 

 

The trick is being able to interpret them and decide what to do about them/if anything.  A lot is personal preference.

If your happy with the GGP2's.. Why not try their monos? I felt a massive difference between my GGP's to the monos, not as crashy and much smoother over bumps.

Being as they arent that old, why not leave the GGP on for now.  They are so quick and easy to change in the future so not much hassle really.  

 

Once complete and on track then can look at the areas you think you are lacking and work from there.

I am also running monos on mine and yes they are smooth and not crashy like chris said. Recommended.
