i need some help as you know i got an 01 gt vert puttin in a 96 cobra engine being modded with a tremec t-56 magnum tranny and 4.10 gears what all do i need to do to the frame and suspension for so i dont twist the chassis coming off the line and destroy my car im gonna be running boost and NOS well if i can find a wet shot kit from them otherwise not sure what nitrous system ill use

Full length subframe connectors are a must! No questions about it. They stiffened up my vert more then a Viagra convention. Since you are going to be running faster than 13.49 you will also need a 6point cage, if you run NHRA rules. That is a bonus though as that cage will really stiffen up your chassis. As far as any other suspension recommendations, I will leave that to the drag race experts.

should i go with bolt on or weld on and what type of subframe connectors cause ive found kmember and others dont remember but it just confused the shit out of me

shadow98gt · October 20th, 2009, 02:26 PM

Weld on FTW, k-member is more of a front end suspension upgrade, but i am doing it in my 98 Gt to make it a lil more roomy and easier to put LT's on it

shadow98gt · October 20th, 2009, 02:27 PM

forgot to mention the aftermarket k-members are a lil stronger and almost always lighter than stock ones.

M.P. Cobra Fan · October 20th, 2009, 03:56 PM

No question about it, weld in. I have the Maximum Motorpsorts X-long Full Length ones. They go from the front to the rear. Excellent setup.

where can i get it done at just any bodyshop or is there a specific type of place i can take it to

M.P. Cobra Fan · October 20th, 2009, 05:13 PM

Any muffler shop should be able to do it. Just make sure whoever does it knows that ALL 4 wheels need to be on the ground/lift while they are being welded on.

ok cool

carnage · October 21st, 2009, 02:39 PM

ok new question what about shocks springs etc etc. i was lookin at the eibach pro system plus but not sure how it would do for the set-up i want

M.P. Cobra Fan · October 21st, 2009, 02:52 PM

I am gonna have to leave that one to the drag race experts. I am not really sure how to set a car up for drag.

99blkcobra · October 21st, 2009, 03:57 PM

pro dont lower alot, i think my front still sits high theirs a quart of oil in the front and still some space. On suspension, it depends on how good you wanna hook, this affects the car, it will become real stiff in the rear, so you will feel every bump. Theirs is adjustable or non adjustable and their is different material for the bushings. Ill take pics of the rear of my car when i find the camera
