Griggs install - any tips?
 

Drudis,
I went through the recent Griggs group purchase and i'm getting a whole bunch of stuff. I mixed and matched but it's basically the complete GR40 Street coil-over setup. Any installation tips or recommendations?

What year car?
Wadda ya wanna know?

Like, I can suggest installing the control arms onto the k-member first (before installing into the car)...

Sorry - forgot to list my sig. I've never screwed with the suspension of a car before, so any and all hints/tips would be appreciated. Since you've redone the front end of your car with Griggs components, I thought I'd ask. That and the cc.com posts aren't archived, so I figured any searching on that board wouldn't turn much up. BTW, did you design your TA/PHB yourself or did you model it after someone else's?

Yeah, I copied the design off of Griggs and the Mustang Performance Handbook-II (both). Then took the best of both, and made my own.

Mostly, you'll have questions as you get going during the installation. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

p.s. While you are at it, order a set of DELRIN bushings from Griggs (if you are doing tubular control arms / k-member). The stock ones arent that great, and they are only $80.

I did get the Delrin bushings for the arms. They were highly recommended....btw, what do you feel is the weak point(s) to the Griggs standard torque arm?
