What to do to install a big block

BLOWN89 · October 22nd, 2008, 03:07 PM

What kind of suspension mods do you need to do to the front of the car to support a big block.Its an 88 lx hatch. I plan on getting a tubular K memeber but what kind of springs or shocks do I need to support the extra weight. If any I dont think the stock shocks will hol it but dont know.

if u are going to get a k member then spend a few more dollars and get the coil overs, call upr and get this kit and ask them for their recommendation on spring rates. 2 of my boys did this swap and that's what they did. you gain so much room when you do this. it'll make header/starter installations a breeze. plus for less then 700 bucks it's a steal .
