Need Suspension

temple30 · August 30th, 2008, 01:19 PM

What are some of the suspension you guys are running and the pro and cons. I will be using the car as a DD(mostly city) I will take it once in a while to the drag strip. I have the factory 20 year old suspension right now(which has a ton of roll) Thanks in advance

I went with this kit

eBay Motors: 88,89,90,91,92,93 Mustang Rear Control Arms & Subframes (item 270269676206 end time Sep-03-08 06:43:10 PDT) cheap and the the subframe connecters are not full length, and I bought H&R springs and tokico blues shocks. money goes fast lol

temple30 · August 30th, 2008, 03:10 PM

do poly urethane bushings make a difference

dr.gonzo! · August 30th, 2008, 03:11 PM

stock is soft rubber and will flex alot. poly is very stiff and thats what you need

nice lookin ,. affordable kit... How do you like it gonzo?

dr.gonzo! · August 30th, 2008, 04:53 PM

I like it. It hooks alot quicker. when I used to shift 2nd the tires would spin real bad but now its just a quick chirp. but I still dont have the sub frame conns on. no damn money
and they are not tube style control arms if you look at the install pix they are boxed steel and could have done better on the welds but money is money

temple30 · August 30th, 2008, 07:29 PM

would this be a good all in one kit or are there better kits out eBay Motors: 87-93 Mustang GT LX 5.0 Eibach Pro System Handling Kit (item 270270335122 end time Sep-05-08 06:26:01 PDT)

ThreeHonks302 · August 30th, 2008, 07:56 PM

Ive got Mac boxed upper/lower rear control arms with poly bushings, Eibach drag launch springs with right side air bag, Lakewood 50/50 shocks and Lakewood 90/10 struts. I also took off the front sway bar. This setup seems to hook really well

temple30 · August 30th, 2008, 08:35 PM

I have alot to learn because that sounds like a different language.....

4doorfoxy · August 30th, 2008, 09:56 PM

Ive heard nothing but good about Eibach. Ive been looking at that kit myself also, get it and the subframe/control arm kit that gonzo mentioned and you have nice combo for the street.

ThreeHonks302 · August 31st, 2008, 11:13 AM

I really like the combo I am running for the street. I thought at first it might be unstreetable with the 90/10s but it actually drives nice... just dont try to do any road racing lol

temple30 · September 2nd, 2008, 10:56 PM
