$2,000 to spend...

Chris_H · 10-15-2002, 08:38 PM

Ok, it looks like I finally have my Bronco sold. I should be getting $2,000 from this guy if all goes well. The first thing I plan on buying is a set of slicks, I get tired of borrowing them at the races. SO you figure there goes about $350 or so. Now onto the more serious stuff. I have subframes here at the house that I have yet to put in, so that is taken care of too. I am debating on whether to get a whole knew K-Member with the tubular A-arms to save weight, along with a set of U/L control arms, and if I have enough, a set of struts and springs for the rear. I am open to suggestions on what the majority think should be next. I would PREFER to work on the suspension, but am always open for others opinions. I am definately getting the slicks, so there is some money gone already. Also, just for info, race weight with myself and about 1/4 tank is 3360. I wouldn't mind shaving some weight too. Thanks for the help.

i see somehow your already getting 1.8 60' times....on slicks i assume (you said you borrow them)

tell me, are you on the stock rearend (exept for the 355's)?

maybe an auburn 31 spline, strange axles and some suspension will please you....

Yes the 1.81 60' was on slicks, MT ET Drags 26x8. Everything suspension wise, axles, rear end, is all stock. Stock springs, everything. The only things that are not stock is what is in my sig. I still don;t know how I was able to cut that 60' that day other than it was about 40* outside.
