Well tommorrow my car goes in for the tq arm to be cut and mated properly to the Moser 12 bolt as well as getting relocation brackets and SFC's welded in.

So at this point I have only a few more things to get done before the suspension is set.

What I have or will have done by tommorrow-

BMR Non-Adjustable Rear LCA's
BMR Adjustable Pan Hard Rod
BMR Adjustable TQ arm
BMR SFC's
BMR LCA relocation brackets
Poly rear sway bar links (Spohn)
Poly sway bar bushing kit for 12 bolt (Spohn)


Whats left-

Qa1 Shocks (all around)
Springs (???)
Front sway bar bushing and end links)
Tranny cross member mount for tq arm
BMR K-member
BMR Upper and Lower A arms

So to give you an idea of what is done and whats left to do.

The next thing I want to look at is QA1 shocks and springs all around and I was looking at the GEN-F kits for the fbodies. Those seem to be what I want since the car is driven 90% on the street and I want that ability to change when needed. The other set has the fix rate and that seems a little crazy for a street set up. But if anyone has a opinion on they, please say on, even comments on what works.

But mainly I was wondering about the springs and what rating I should get. here is what they offer, matche to the shocks.

275 lb. front spring - recommended for drag racing
300 lb. front spring - recommended for street and strip
325 lb. front spring - recommended for handling

I was thinking about the 300 lb springs, but has anyone used the 275 and/or 300's and noticed a difference?? I want the car to handle decent, ride nice, but when needed run a good time. So if anyone can give comment, it would be much appreciated. Or anything else I have missed

OH before I forget, the car will never be lowered, but are the spring cups or shock spacer needed, at anytime??

 

My answer for you my friend is call Madman.

He has me running in the 1.4's 60 foots and we pretty much run the number most of the time(bracket racin).

Coach

 

PM sent to him, thankyou very much

 

Run the 300lbs fronts. You dont need any spacers. Also make sure you order the bearings for the springs.

 

Wat are the bearings for?

 

Yes, I was wondering what that was in regard too. Also does it matter what rear spring is used. Please dont mind my ignorance but I am new to setting a car up for the drags. I have a good idea, but any insight is appreciated.

 

The bearings are for under the spring between the adjuster. It makes it alot easier to adjust ride height.

 

haha madman you act like you know what your talking about....JUST KIDDING, yeah if you want to know about suspenion work go to MADMAN...hes the best and even made a shitty ford hook and go

 

i'm going with hals all around and 300 lb. front springs. i have eibach pros still in the rear. will it be ok? i don't want the stockers in the back and give it the 4x4 look again.
