Suspension Time....

Skyman · 02-26-2001, 04:02 AM

Im putting in Eibach Drag Launch springs, 70/30s up front and 50/50's in the back this thursday.

I'll let you guys know how it is. Its going to be WAY different than Saleen Racecraft suspension!

What about shocks?

Sky have you heard of AVO adjustable shocks? Alot of people are using these types of adjustable shocks as they can adjust them for the track & for the street when they are done racing.

Also,there is another type called Hal adjustable shocks,Jegs sells them.See alotta people using these as well.

I think that racecraft suspension is whats killing your times anyway sky. The earlier Saleens were more about handling than quarter mile times werent they? I think thats the reason your spinning till 3rd. I think your going to like your new setup. Summit also sels the HAL shocks and a coil over kit for cheap.

Are these a lot more expensive? What are the adjustment settings and how much do they cost?

How r they adjusted?

AVO is now HAL they are now totally independent. They adjust with a turn of a little knob mounted right on the unit fir the rears and the fronts are from the tops I believe, when I go to a tubular K-Member I will swap to coil overs and the HALS but they are pricey. They do have aluminum casings and are very high quality. Front Struts are $240.00/each, and the 12 way adjustable rears are $140.00/each. the coil over kit is between $150-$170.

Wow more than I can afford now. But what a cool deal! Street or strip at the turn of a knob!
