Front suspension

I want to upgrade my front suspension but I'm not sure what is good and what is not. Also Are there as many mods for the for the front as there seems to be for the rear?

Thumbs up Front Suspension

PorscheGuy964

There are plenty of front end options.

A front spring set, consists of 3 spring types, soft, medium and hard. Most Mini-Z owners use the soft option.
A front anti-roll set. I have one and to be honest, no major difference. It does look neat though!
Low friction kingpins, makes the front suspension work better as well as improving steering response.
Toe-in Steering bars will improve top speed stability.
Also, you can get alloy suspension top-bars, replaces the plastic piece that fits over the front servo and keeps the front end intact. Don't know what the major advantage of that would be, other than pure cosmetics.

Any other suggestions from the other regulars?

Mondo covered it for the most part, one other option is replacement knuckles with 0, 1, 2, or 3 degrees of camber.
