New Suspension Setup

F8L GT · March 28th, 2009, 03:23 AM

My BBK lowering springs work like crap for weight transfer at the track, most like every other lowering spring. I just got a set of 4 cyl fox springs to put in the back and a set of QA1 adjustable shocks. I'll see out that works with getting it to hook. I'll let you know how it works out and a couple weeks

SWEET2KSTANG · March 28th, 2009, 08:14 AM

have you pulled the front sway bar?

F8L GT · March 28th, 2009, 12:52 PM

Yes front sway bar is now off. Wasnt last year.

keepus posted. cuz i am debating lowering springs because I want it to run well at the track too. I wantitto look good but yet hook well too. and that seem like a hard thing to accomplish.

Yea man just dont go too low i have the sportlines now and they are garbage.. I know of a few people that run the pro kit springs with nice drag shocks like the strange or lakewoods and hook pretty well..

Ive heard mixed opinions on the front sway bar removal my car is a dd and i just want to make sure it wont affect my cornering or anything else.. What your take on this?

F8L GT · March 28th, 2009, 03:26 PM

I drive mine and have no problems what so ever. of course you cant take corners at 100

gray8188 · March 28th, 2009, 03:29 PM

Lol yea i think ill just leave mine on i dont go to the track very often anyways.. When i get my new rear springs the the strange shocks and Dr's i hopefully wont have to much trouble hooking..

i have the pro kit, weight transfer is kinda sucky and plus its not low enough IMO, thats why im going with cut stock springs in the rear (they are softer and will help the car squat) with front coilovers which i can adjust the hieght and firmness with new shocks to the car will transfer weight a hell of alot better and look great too.

F8L GT · April 3rd, 2009, 04:18 AM

Fox springs finally showed up now I have to wait on the shocks to get here and swap them all out. Cant wait to try it on the 25th

Scott2001GT · April 3rd, 2009, 12:15 PM

huh good things I am doing the eibach luanch springs.

F8L GT · April 3rd, 2009, 12:50 PM

I thought about the drag launch springs but I dont want to put my car back to stock height, thats why i went this route

Regarding the sway bar, cant you just remove the links for the track and keep there?

F8L GT · April 3rd, 2009, 12:55 PM

without the links, the sway bay will just bounce up and down in the bushings. it will just flop down
