p5 suspension

[stellar_bc]

does the p5 have a rear lower brace? better yet, what are the differences bet MSP and P5 suspension excluding springs and struts.

The P5 has a lower roll bar......

Msp is about an inch lower than the P5 and has better struts.

I just installed eibach (pro-kit) this weekend and i drive around with a smile from ear-to-ear now! can't wait to get the 4 wheel alignment and then i will really put the new springs to the test.

here is a pic if the install and you can see the lower roll bar hanging down off the end-links on my P5......

thanks. anymore difference from MSP aside from srtuts and springs?

enjoy the springs!

They have a bigger rims, and i believe a racing beat lower anti-roll/sway bar

Lower anti roll bar? Where is the upper????

NO, there isn't a lower brace. Difference between the MSP and P5 excluding springs and struts is the diameter of the anti-sway bars and the wheels/tires. The rear subframe on the MSP is slightly different due to the mounting points for the bigger anti-swaybar. The MSP bar can be used on a P5 with AWR mounting blocks.

sorry, roll/sway bar.....

The castor on the P5 might be different than on the MSP. Definitely different than the ES GT package.

MP3/MSP also has larger brakes (626 based?), and beefier front lower control arms (2), and beefier rear lateral links(4). Caster is the same, as far as the upper perch "paint mark" adjustment. Toe settings are slightly different. FYI there is a complete MSP suspension set-up on eBay right now for 400, 650 Buy-it-now with springs, struts, sway bars, rear lateral links, front lower control arms, calipers, the whole works. It 's a bargain

Is this typically available for sale on EBAY? I don't have the cash for that kind of upgrade now, but I'd love to do a full conversion at some point. I just gotta know if EBAY is really a reliable source for something like suspension components (lower control arms, ect).

Thanks
