![]() Maybe what i'm asking in this question is what is the best compramise of suspension for handling/drag racing (more for drag racing, but still fun to toss around corners) that i can put on my car. Most of my racing is in a straight line, but i want to be able to haul @ss around corners and feel safe on the freeway.
I'm going to be putting on my subframe connectors soon and the front sway bar already has polyeurethane bushings. My car has horrible wheel hop because the T-bird Turbo Coupe rear doesn't line up with the quad shocks correctly, so i had to remove them, and i have stock control arms. What would you guys recommend for control arms or general suspension setup? I like the compramise of drag and handling the stock springs/dampening offers but any ideas about a better way please tell me. In the future this car will have quite a bit more power than i have now (I have adequate power for now) but i want to be able to take off from a stop with at least a little bit of traction without having to ride the clutch and granny shift. I don't need to be able to launch at 5,000rpm or anything and i'd like to keep cost down (who doesn't ![]() Thanks for your time, Rick
