Does This Suspension Look Good?????

BowTie Eater 5 Liter · 03-08-2001, 12:01 AM

Ok, Heres What Im Thinking About, Eibach Drag Launch Kit, Lakewood Bolt In Subframes, Lakewood 90/10s Or 70/30s, Lakewood 50/50s, Lakewood Lift Bars & Upper Control Arms.
The Car Is Going To Get A Motor Transplant, A 351 With 400hp & 450lbs.-ft Torque. The Car Will Be Daily Driven, With The Occasional Trip To The 1/4 Mile. I Am Not Going To Pull The Swaybar, Or Run Skinnies Up Front, But Put A Pair Of Slicks On For The Races.
Does This Combo Sound Good? Should I Use 70/30s Or 90/10s?

Thanks

Weld those Subframes in it will be a lot sturdier. I like my 70/30's but with the extra weight of a 351 I would go 90/10's in the front. The skinnies not only free up weight in the front they also free up a lot of drag, and are worth it at the strip. Yank that front sway bar also, it will hinder the suspension from working at it's full potential.
