ROUSH!!!

"Best" is such a relative term. There is a lot of competition out there for suspensions, and I would put MM and Griggs up there in the "best" category for certain things. I personally think that Roush has a great setup for all-around street driving. They have developed a setup that is very street-able, while having decent performance.

If you are thinking of running your car at a road course, I would suggest looking into MM. They have good prices and great products. Griggs is a bit more expensive, and would suit your needs if you were going to run at the track a lot. With either setup, I think the performance of the suspension would be more suited towards the track and less towards comfort on the street.

I don't have any direct experience with KB, other than just reading some comments from people that know their equipment. If you don't go for the Roush setup, I personally would suggest looking in to Maximum.

Dude, have you seen the Kenny Brown AG suspension? It is very badass... I read an article about it in MM&FFs when it was in prototype form and the pictures of it were incredible. It places the wheels an inch forward to shift weight back for better distribution and the whole setup is made from tublular steel. It also has coilovers which offer better performance over the shock/spring setup. I'd go with KB if I had the money.

I say stick with the Roush set-up.

Just add KB's "03 Strut tower brace" (it fits the S3's....with
some hood modifications) and "rear shock tower brace" to
stiff'n it up a bit

MM and Griggs have been doing that for years. No need to test a new product - I still think I would go towards MM or Griggs if full replacement is what you are after. Replacing the K-member and going to coil-overs is not just for "taking care of squeeks" tho (IMO).

I think if you go with the braces like LS says, it will help. Adding a rollbar will also help a lot with what you are describing.

Sub frame connectors and chassis stiffeners do alot.

Roush has the best depth of engineering prowess, racing experience, resources, and affinity to create and engineer parts and systems.

I think that deductive reasoning would answer this plexer

Griggs. Period. Cost you $7500 to $10,000 plus install costs but you will learn what handling is all about.
