Preferred suspension?

Ellis · 08-22-2000, 10:28 AM

I have heard that sn95 suspension can be adapted to older foxbody frames. Is it a better idea to upgrade the stock fox body suspension w/ aftermarket parts, or to score a complete suspension from an sn95 and install it?

You can upgrade to the SN95 suspension components. I guess it depends on what you want to do. If you are just replacing some worn out parts, then the SN95 stuff is pretty cheap for replacement. If you want to upgrade, then I would go aftermarket.

97Snakedriver, I seem to remember a post from you saying you were working hard to fix inherent geometry flaws in your ride. What exaclty were you refering to?

Swapping in a SN95 suspesnion for a Fox wont get you "much". Sure there are increases in ackerman and scrub radiuses... Not really gaining much for all the effort involved. If you really want to do something, you will have to go aftermarket.
