my dads gettin me a new suspension for christmas but the thing that sucks is that hes realy cheap. and plus i know nothing bout suspensions so whats the cheapest best suspension if you know what i mean?

Go for some FRPP "C" Springs. They give a nice aggressive stance with a subtle drop where you don't need to chage any of your suspension components besides the Springs that you buy. Take a look at ABs car and see what the stance is like on his car. He has them.

getting coil overs and all that expensive type of suspension isnt necasary.
theres a fox with stock suspension running 7.4 at 197mph...

but the FRPP C springs are the way to go for a cheap and trusty drop...thats what im doin

do you have a web site for me to go to?

[itschristorres8]

americanmuscle sells them with free shipping but there $140 on there now who cares you find them on a diff site...its $120 with $20+shipping

[machine_008]

thanks for the help on suspension but back to an old question, if i did swap the sixer for like a 4.6L GT motor how difficult is that and how expensive is that? would it be easier to just trade my car in and get a gt? its hard to decide what to do with all the diffrent opinions and both sides have really good points.

better off selling your car for a GT, less money, headache, and pain in the ass for installing and all that

eehhh. you know what fuck the GT ima just get this six to unbelievable horse power and show the v8s that just cause they have two more cylinders they can still get it handed to em by a sixer.

there are sixers running 9's you can push a 6 to run more but not to many people do...i wont...i just want an 11 second v6

[machine_008]

Ima try as hard as i can to get it to a 9 but can i still drive that on the streets legally

maybe look at doing something like i did, getting a tokico kit with springs, shocks, and struts for about 470, then add some caster camber plates of choice.

that'd be very hard...if you want a 9 second car. you'll need ALOT
new engine (a very strong one)
new tranny
i know the 7.5 will handle that so new rear, and i dont think the 8.8 will handle it either.
something to keep the chassy from getting messed up...its alot of work

[machine_008]

i just showed him and he said that if thats what i wounted he would get that for me but thats the only think ima get so those are worth it right cause i dont mind that bein the only thing to get if thell make my car ride realy good.

are they the best, no... would they be on my 9 second car, probably not, but are they within your dad's pricerange...probably.?? that kit will lower your car 1.5" at all corners, there are other options if you want a progressive look, but they are a great all around shock/strut combo (non-adjustable) but will perform great on the street/strip or autox. you will need caster/camber plates to obtain the proper alignment after install so figure that into the cost. if you go with a package that is 1.4" or less you will not need caster/camber plates.

[machine_008]

whats the diffrence in the 1.5 and the 1.4

[99mustang232]

ofcourse the obvious 1.5 being lower but the 1.5-2.0 drops will require caster camber plates to obtain the correct alignment, also the lower you go the more ground clearance is an issue and eventually bumpsteer.
