hey there everyone.

I have been looking on prominent suspension sites like whiteline and nolathane and there is little or no components to suit 380 (also searched galant).

Does anyone make aftermarket suspension components for these.

noticed that the list for prancers is about a page long on these websites.

the swaybar links on the 380 are thin and sloppy as well as a few controll bushes.

surely these woulnt be wasted upgrades

For things like sway bar bushes, maybe remove one side, and take it into a suspension hop and ask them to match it up, or measure it yourself (get internal diameter, external diameter, and thickness of bush) and maybe email nolathane, superpro or whiteline to see if they have anything of similar/same size? Unfortunately, with the small model run of the 380s, it's probably not eceonomical for after market companies to make components specific to these cars given that probably less than 1% of owners would want to upgrade their bushes.

Fulcrum suspensions do superpro bushes for the front bars & there is/was a rear selby (now owned by fulcrum) bar available.

Kings springs for low/superlow & currently the only shocks are KYB which are only as good as stock sx/vrx/gt shocks.

K-Sport do coilover suspension if you want to go to that next level & the only real option if you want to firm up the handling.

I think that if I was going to replace springs and shocks I would go down Fooz's path and spend the extra on coilovers. At least then you can rebuild the dampers and of course they are adjustable.
