Springs--4cyl or Drag Launch

kevknotch88 · 10-25-2001, 09:40 PM

As winter approaches West virginia and a new cam, mass air conversion, 65mm tb, and gt-40 intake are in the garage and await intallation on my 88 coupe. This summer was taken up by spinning off the line and going sideways in second too much and I know my new parts will only make matters worse. I plan on installing 90/10 struts and 50/50 shocks, but don't like the front end way up in the air that the drag springs cause. I currently have southsides and am considering 4cyl springs and sway bars. Any input would be appreciated.

From what I have been told, the front will dive hard when braking w/4 cyl. springs. John
