Hey guys, my UGO front STB should be coming in next week and I was wondering if I'd feel any noticeable improvement if any on my stock suspension. I'm planning on getting sways in December ... but for now do you think I'd notice anything?

redgs4

I don't think you will notice any change in handling but you should notice that it looks really nice.

brendanlim

Ehhhh thanks

Sway bars and drop next.

Any other input from anyone else?

KVA

Taste's great....Less filling....

You may notice a little stiffer up front going over bumps and dips where you get some flex, but nothing major.

I say go ahead and get it if you want it, they're hard to find. It'll fit over a GS3 engine cover, right?

brendanlim

Yeah, it will fit right over and no cover for me since I'm a 99. I just want to notice "something" different for the money im spending

Also, I'm going to get sways next. I read that the rear sway is 118% more stiffer than the front. I'm not big on funds so I'm thinking of getting the rear sway first then the front. Would that be alright?

EDIT: Hopefully I can be like this guy: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...fference+stock

Hehe

I wouldn't recommend mixing and matching the sways. Get them one at a time if you need to, but don't put them on until you have the set.

Letsride

Take Dave's advice on the sways....unless you want some unpredictable experiences!!

brendanlim

Ahhh okay -- thanks for the warning guys! Yeah, I'll go ahead and put both on at the same time.

Why not sping for the rear UGO STB...much cheaper then the sways and will complete the setup... I have both and really like them (...and the TRD Blue Sways). Now all I need is the F&R Tom's Chassis Brace to complete the suspension mods for now...

brendanlim

Okay, I guess I should do that and complete the top setup. I'll do this.

Front STB (coming Tuesday)
Rear STB
Front & Rear Sways
L-Tuned Springs

Would changing the shocks be a big improvement?

Letsride

Yes!! To get the most from your springs you need to upgrade the struts as well.

i just put coilovers on my car what a world of difference. i had bilstein sport shocks with eibach springs and the coilovers are the way to go. don't waste your time and money with springs and shocks. i did, thinking i could get bmw like handling on the cheap, it didn't happen. now i've got the JIC FLT2A coilovers and i've got better handling than i ever dreamed could be possible. do yourself a favor and do it right you won't be sorry. oh by the way i've got the daizen sways and all the toms braces. the final key to the whole puzzle was the coilovers

LexFather

Brendan, you won't notice much difference with just the STB unless u take a challenging corner twice the speed limit. It won't affect the ride. Sways affect the ride, making it much stiffer. Shocks and sways take away the floaty Cadillac feeling.

You R on your way

brendanlim

All of these suspension mods are so exciting to me because you actually notice a real difference! Can't wait to get all of these added on. Also, I think coilovers will end up being my choice because I hear a lot of people switching from shocks / springs to coilovers.

Coilovers might be last though because I'm going to need wheels first because I think it might look kinda ricey w/ a drop on 16's.

Thanks once again guys :P
