    Need some opinions on 2002 vert suspension upgrade

    Ok here's the scoop
    I bought my 02 gt vert with 10,000 km a while back. 6 years later it has 40,000km.
    When I bought it I lowered it by swapping in the pro kit springs.
    Bbk strut bar and some 18" foose wheels
    That's it.
    Now looking for a better handling package. The car needs tires and a front end alignment.
    Shock ate feeling pretty soft as well.

    So is this the way to go? its a lot of coin but has good reviews
    Road and track box

    Or would this do just fine? It's cheaper but I want the car to handle surprisingly well.

    Also keep in mind I'm not a track guy I'm a cruiser. Just want the car to feel like a true sports car.
    I also don't daily drive this car in fact I barely drive this car. I just want it to impress me when I do.

    Thanks in advance

    Full length SFCs should be the first things on your list. No use in upgrading the suspension until you get the chassis sorted out.

    Both of those kits have sfc in them.
    As far as I can see the biggest diference is the road and track kit has rear lower control arms added.

    If you've got stock LCAs, and you've got the budget for the Road and Track package, I would go for that. The MM LCAs are really good upgrade.

    If you have the $ go for the bigger one. There's lots of extra goodies there. Plus the better shocks/struts are worth it.

    The road and track kit may be a little too much, my buddy put it into his 03 and I liked the ride, but lots of people didn't, said it was too harsh on the street.

    If you are not a track guy and don't drive it much why not just install full length SFC, new Bilsten shocks & struts, MM CC plates and bumpsteer kit. Add in new bushings if they have gone brittle from sitting. Like Intmdtr posted the full kit might be over kill for a street cruiser making the suspension too tight or hard.

    More expensive option comes with their premium SFC's + lower control arms, well worth the extra cost. Once installed, you'll be pissed you didn't spend the money sooner. Suspect you'll come away looking for spots better suited to spirited driving.

    Go with the R&T box and add a Tq arm. It is exactly what i am doing with my vert as well. Might see the odd track day, mostly nice winding roads.
