lets talk suspension
My biggest problem is traction. I am a much, much faster car on the track than on the street as many cars are. But mine especially because the car is so torquey with the c-4 3500 stall and 373's. I can hook at the track with slicks but if i launch the car hard on the street i will spin all the way through high gear. I would like to be able to hook on the street with some hoosier quick times. Right now i have SSM lift bars, sub frame connectors, k frame brace and strut tower brace with 275/60/15's on the back. I need to make sure my tires are still gonna clear with the new suspension. Right now the lip is rolled and the is some kind of clamp spreading the rear springs a little bit. ( i assume for tire clearance but it was like that when i bought the car)
This what im thinking. FMS drag springs with air bag (will my tires clear) upper control arms (what kind) lake wood 50/50 90/10 anything else?? any suggestions??? THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER also so i dont want to keep it streetable so i would prefer to keep the front sway bar. thanks alot for the help |
i am also getting the front end of the car as light as possible. I have a fiberglass hood (no hinges). No AC, no air pump, aluminum heads. Going to move battery to trunk. I am getting a flaming river rack very soon.
Remember this is a daily driver.... thanks for the help |
If you want to keep it streetable, you might want to get 70/30's instead of 90/10's. Might make for a slightly better ride.
How do you like them SSM lift bars? I was thinking about pickng up a set this spring. |
so should i hook on the street with that set up?? Will 275/60/15's clear with a rolled lip?
thanks for the help |
i am running a mickey thompson 29x10.5x15 sportman pro's and it is clearing the fenderwells and hooks extremely well.............i have had 1.6 short times with stock suspension, stock worn out suspension...........with a 7.5" rear.........so mostly i think it is tire...........and maybe weight transfer.........
