Please help me with suspension!

03-15-2001, 11:13 PM

I was looking through MM&FF mag for a new suspension setup. Price is very important. I found Ford racing springs all the way around for $135. This would lower the car 7/8 inch in front, and 1/2 inch in the back. I also saw KYB shocks and struts for $180 for all four. I'm guessing this is just standard ride height settup. Would these elements work together? You can visually notice my car in the rear is well lower on the left side. Do i need to worry about anything adjustable? Is this stuff I'm looking at good? Thanx a hundred million!

First you need to know what you want from your car. Good ride or Good handling or Good launch. I just bought a new suspension set up, But I went for the launch kit and lakewood drag struts and ssm uppers and lowers. A good carnering suspension would be set up differently

just my opinion.

My car sagged in the back because of the rubber spring isolators.. you might want to check those out before you get new springs and all that, so you don't have to take everything apart again to fix it later.. I have kyb front struts and quad shocks with koni reds on the back, and Motorsport lowering springs all around... I like them alot, the car is nice and firm and handles well! You should do the other bushings too while its apart!

Good luck!
