Anyone have recommendations for the best suspension setup on a redline? I've got a set of Progress competition springs, but they're not installed yet. What about struts and, sway bars, etc?

Keep up with things over at redlineforums.com. That's going to be your best source for info on parts like that. So far, I don't think there are any struts in production yet, but I heard some news a month or so ago that someone was developing some fully-adjustable coilovers. There's a couple supporting vendors on the RL forums that sell strut bars (i think rear sway bars too. Torque Forward has some good experience with the group. I'm gonna get one of their front tower strut bars after I get my springs installed.<br /><br />2005 ION Redline<br />Competition Package - welfare intake, antenna delete...more to come!<br /><br />2007 SKY Redline (technically the wife's car)<br />Sunburst Yellow<br />Manual Tranny

OK....couldn't remember.
Wait...is the rear sway the part that goes under the car between the rear wheels, or is it the one that attaches inside the car under the back window?
I know somebody makes the one that goes under the car between the rear wheels for the regular ION, so wouldn't that work on the RL too?<br /><br />2005 ION Redline<br />Competition Package - welfare intake, antenna delete...more to come!<br /><br />2007 SKY Redline (technically the wife's car)<br />Sunburst Yellow<br />Manual Tranny

strut bar works on base Ions as well, pretty simple yet stout design.
there is no part for Ions that goes in the back window, that's for the rear struts on an s-series is what you're thinking of.
Progress makes a unit for the 03-04 base Ions that bolts on the rear beam and increases stifness quite a bit. for 04-06 Redline Ions, Torque Forward makes a bar that ties in the two spring seats on the rear beam, increasing stiffness probably more than the Progress one. ride quality does get rough, but it helps the rear end plant big time.

OK cool thought so.
I know when we put the front tower strut bar and rear sway bar on blueiondubv's ION it made a HUGE difference.<br /><br />2005 ION Redline<br />Competition Package - welfare intake, antenna delete...more to come!<br /><br />2007 SKY Redline (technically the wife's car)<br />Sunburst Yellow<br />Manual Tranny

With 750hp, three-quarters of a thousand you're basically dealing with 6.14 hp per cubic inch. Pressures and stresses of all kinds thermal and mechanical loading across the board escalate to extreme levels. A Chevrolet 5.7-liter LS1 V8 with this much specific power (horsepower per cubic inch) would be making 2,137 hp

Andy, check with Blueiondubv, he's got a rear sway on his that was easy to do.<br /><br />2005 ION Redline<br />Competition Package - welfare intake, antenna delete...more to come!<br /><br />2007 SKY Redline (technically the wife's car)<br />Sunburst Yellow<br />Manual Tranny
