Default Suspension upgrades...

Hey all,

The machine shop should be done with my 427 rotating assembly and block in the coming weeks so I figured that I'd ask for some input on my suspension setup to hopefully reach my goal of high 9's on spray (150 shot) with my M6.

See sig for current suspension upgrades.....

Do you think that my suspension upgrades are adequate or should I consider making more mods? Any suggestions are welcome...

Thanks,

Get some LCAs, and an adj. panhard. i think that those will help you out. maybe a boxed LCA, i heard that they are stronger than a tubuler one, w/ that low of times you might need that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

i have complete bmr rear suspension hooks great and no wheel hop at all. I have the extreme rear sway bar this is a little noisy. But you get used to it after a while. Bmr LCA's, Bmr double adjustable Panhard bar and Adjustable torque arm. The torque arm on my moser 12 bolt hits the drive shaft tunnel under hard launches or when the car is loaded down(more than myself in the car). Overall the set up is pretty bad *** but makes alot of noise and nobody seems to have a solution.
