High Quality Suspension Services

Nothing makes or breaks a car’s driving dynamics more than how well it rides down the road and handles around corners. Suspension tuning is the key to achieving those goals, but the problem is that most classic cars were built during an era when suspension technology limped along in the stone ages. Add decade worth of wear and tear into the mix, and the typical unrestored classic can be downright treacherous to drive around town. The good new is that options abound when upgrading a stock suspension system.

At the very least, the suspension in a classic car must be rebuilt to stock specifications during the restoration process. This typically involves replacing the springs, shocks, bushings, and ball joints with stock replacement parts. Depending on the condition of the suspension, rebuilding the suspension can yield a dramatic improvement in ride and handling. For vehicle platforms that are blessed with lots of aftermarket support—such as ‘60s musclecars, Porsches, Volkswagens, and pickup trucks—a very popular alternative is replacing the aforementioned hardware with high-performance replacements that offer revised spring rates and shock valving for improved handling. Aftermarket suspension kits can also include sway bars and drop spindles to further enhance performance. For cars that will get run hard at the track, upgrading to coilover shocks or four-link suspension conversions are options s well.
