Lacetti / Forenza Suspention Questions

Post by bsharon »

Hello All,
I live in New-England as some of you may know the roads can be pretty crapy in some places....
I have a 2004 Suzuki Forenza...
I hate the suspention, it is way too loose feeling...
I know that people are selling lowering springs...
But for me in my area that would not be in my cars best interest...
I am trying to figure out if I can get a stiffer set of springs, and some performance shocks?
Do any of you know if there is a suspention upgrade that doesn't lower the car?
Or know of any after market or universal suspention parts that will fit the Forenza?
Does any one else know where I am comming from on this one. My car is just too bouncy. Week springs and week shocks.

Thank you and TTYL
Brian

there are sway bars that should be available for purchase within the month and there are front strut bars being spec'd out as well. between these two things, your suspension rigidity should increase like crazy, but the spring rate may still be a little wobbly for you.

i personally don't own a reno/forenza so i don't know of all the products available. i'm not sure if there are performance strut casings or not. i would imagine that you could get koni yellows, but i'm not 100% sure. as for springs, i have no idea. 99% of the time lowering is the best way to accomplish the desired suspension change, so things like higher rate oem size springs are usually a rarity

As far im aware the forenza shares the same suspension has the Astra G

Yeah well how sure are you that they are the same. I mean I live in the US and I have never heard of an Astra G. I looked them up online. It is a nice looking car.
Well I typed Astra G into Ebay, and I saw a set of suspention stuff.

So you are saying that these may possibly fit my Forenza? If so that would be really awsome. Does anyone else know anything about this. I would like to be sure of it. I would probably have to compare suspention blue prints or something to find out for sure.

Thanks
