![]() Hey guys,
I need help. My tires squeak almost everytime I take off. Not even when I'm trying to take off fast. I'm guessing that my suspension has got to go considering it is stock. I want to get a good setup but I don't have much money to spend. What do you guys recommend I get. And please be gentle, I don't know much about this stuff. Again, I don't have a lot of money to spend on this but I know I have to do it right the first time. Keep in mind that I can't lower my car at all for traction because my new H-pipe hangs too low and I know it will hit too often if I do. Thanks guys Scott

![]() Stock is 430-550 fronts and like 180-220 rear. You want a firmer ride, get 10% stiffer which is 450-580 & 200-250 like Eibach "Street" (or whatever they call them) or the HR ones...
I started with the Eibach ones, then moved to BBK 650# linears. Now I have a Griggs tubular front end and 425# coilovers. GET A PLAN. Figure how much and how soon you will spend the money. Then get a KIT (or package) or at least buy from the same company (dont mix/match). I say get a set of springs (Eibach/HR) and shocks (Tokiko/Bilstein IMOHO -not- KYB). THen get some subframes WELDED on. Now STOP!!! (be satisfied, or it'll run you some serious cash doing tubular front ends and coilovers and wheels and tires...)

![]() If it is dragg racing that you want... Go to a salvage yard. Get a set (4) springs from a 4cyl mustang. And get the lower control arms also. Put them in. Get a set of air bags $69.00. When you can afford it get a set of 90/10s or at least 70/30s Lakewoods. This will yeild easy 1.6 60fts with a decent tire. With slicks a tire off the ground up front
