Question
Hi, I want to know what are the parts that a suspension kit should contain ? To make the car firm and steady.

Answer
You have not given me much information.

Usually a suspension kit will contain different springs, shock absorbers, and several bushings for shock mountings, anti roll bar attachments, and control arm mountings.

Depending upon the application, whether for street or for race track, they can range in price from $2-$50USD for street use, and upwards of $5000USD for race cars.

Hope this is a help

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
