Griggs street vs. world cup suspension

StangNut91 · 03-09-2002, 02:06 AM

I want my car to handle like a racecar. So naturally I figured I would start building it from Griggs world cup parts. But I read something about 'you can drive a street car on the race track but you can't drive a racecar on the street'. Why is this?

The WC parts are track specific.
IMOHO, They arent meant to have many miles put on them, and are not very friendly in the way of harshness and noise on the street.
If you plan on an everyday driver, then I would stay away from the pure SuperDuty track parts. If you go with HD parts, or make it a weekend warrior (more like mine) you'll be ok.

I see what you mean. The car isn't my daily driver anymore. I only take it out when I want to show off or have some fun driving so noise isn't a BIG deal but I don't want it to be too barbaric.
