front struts?

db83stang · March 16th, 2007, 03:08 AM

i know the front struts changed in like 87. i was curious what it takes to change an 83 to the same stlye and also what did they change that would make them not fit on my 83? cause i want to go to a 70/30 drag strut so any body with them i would like to hear you opinion on them.

I run the 4 cyl springs and 90/10s, its not as soft as EVERYONE said, kinda like a caddy. I personaly like it. I take the car to the track regularly. and I hate that harsh feel of a high spring rate. mabe I'm just getting old or somthing.

cool i am gonna mostly run it on the street with the occasional trip to the track but i want it to hookup from light to light so, i got a guy at work who has a camaro that i need to cut down to size his ego is just a little to big to fit in the building and he thinks cause he paid some one to bolt some stuff on it that it is fast but he grossly overpaid.

yeah he spent alot to have a cat back a cold air and some wires put on a basically stock motor it sounds like ass but he thinks its fast hopefully he will be eatin my 2000 dollar cars exhaust very soon, ss badges on a stcok camaro dont make it fast he needs to learn this. also if i dont get him trhe first time it will be close and i am thinking a 200 shot of no2 would solve that problem real quick.

I am not a big fan of Lakewood products. I had them on my car and switched to the Strange Engineering adjustable struts and shocks. They are awesome!!!
