Final Suspension Check List

mustang_montana · July 12th, 2006, 01:22 AM

so ive had my billstein springs/struts in my room forever, along with my mm cc plates, and granatelli c/as. im having second thoughts on the billstein, i was thinking of going with the fox 4cyl springs, seems to be a better route. im also considering a polyurethane bushing kit. my car is ten years old so i guess im wondering what else i should replace/upgrade. also, anyone second that i should sell the billstein set and go with the fox springs and different shocks? i wasnt looking at doing a drag setup originally but thats where im heading now , no turning back

Good luck with the install...I have heard alot of people running the 4 cylinder spriangs and loving it...

If you haven't gotten subframe connectors (the long, weld in ones) or lower control arms... now would be a good time. They go hand-in-hand with the suspension.

yeah i got upper/lower control arms. granatellis. as for the s/f connectors i was gonna hold off on those, as they can be done whenever but definetly gonna get them done shortly after.

do the subframes right and weld them in good. thats the only way for them to be effective

i have the u/l granatelli ca's and didn't notice anything great about them but people i talk to love them. as for f/l subframes that was the best suspension mod i did. i got the MM full lengths and it was like night and day. no more going sideways in 2nd. the suspension route i went was eibach drag springs, u/l ca's, drag shocks and the f/l subframes. i have yet to install the front drag spings because im waiting to do that with the strange struts. also i have removed the front sway bar.

im still undecided on the sway bar, but i see that awesome article on the homepage of this site. reason #2 why this forum kicks major ass, awesome articles and writeups. reason #1, kick ass emoticons! ill definetly have the subframes welded in, i hate to say it but i think my entire suspension will be done at a shop. i just wont have the time or place to do any of it.

Drgnracin72 · July 13th, 2006, 03:33 AM

i understand that, thats why my engine is not being built by me. id love to do it myself but simly dont have the time or the place to do it!!
