quick question about notchback suspension!

91 5.0 lx hatch · September 5th, 2007, 10:47 AM

i hear that the 4cyl suspension is good for the notch back because it converts all the weight too the rear end for more traction? ive never heard of this but i know a guy with an 8sec notch in the 1/4 mile running 4cyl suspension. is that even possible ? i think hes full of it but i dunno

JBIGBOOTSY · September 5th, 2007, 10:53 AM

all the rear springs (excpt convertables), are the same. You might be thinking of the front springs?

Putting 4 cylinder springs in the rear will hurt more than it will help. In a stock suspension Mustang a stiffer spring puts more force on the tire. Some will argue this fact but I can assure you they have little to no experience in this area.

Really because my buddy is running them that is what he told me? Where the backs all the same I didnt think they where. See you learn something every day

Anyone that wants to learn a thing or two about Mustang suspensions should read this link http://www.baselinesuspensions.com/i...A_Drag_Car.htm specifically the section on rear springs which relates to this topic. Kevin's entire site is filled with useful information. I suggest that everyone read it.
