WhiteKnight · 06-22-2003, 08:21 PM

what coil over spring rate is equal to that of that ford c-springs give you?

**12second5.0** · 06-22-2003, 08:28 PM

for a tubular k-member? Rear?be more specific.

WhiteKnight · 06-22-2003, 08:39 PM

opps sorry....for a front tubular k-member

**12second5.0** · 06-22-2003, 08:41 PM

I have 200 lbs ones on mine.They are more street friendly.

V6Alex · 06-22-2003, 08:54 PM

thats what i have for my front coilovers, they are not installed yet. gonna put themon in a week or so when i get all my suspension parts and do evrything at once.

why would it make a difference if his k member was stock or tubular?

what do yall think about tokico adj drag struts?

think double adj uppr control arms are worth the extra money?

or maybe just FMS heavy duty uppers?

WhiteKnight · 06-22-2003, 08:57 PM

looking for something between street and drag....going to be using lakewood struts and MM caster/camber plates

**12second5.0** · 06-22-2003, 09:05 PM

200's will work fine!

V6Alex · 06-22-2003, 09:07 PM

I'm using MM CC plates too, and same rate coil overs. i was going to buy some 90/10 drag struts but decided to go with the adj tokicos so i wont have to drive to and from the track or go cruisin around corners with 90/10s. might want to consider that, would be worth the extra $100

WhiteKnight · 06-22-2003, 09:18 PM

hum....where did you get your struts from and how much if you don't mind me asking....

The k-member is the tubular chromemoly UPR one

**12second5.0** · 06-22-2003, 09:24 PM

I have lakewood 70/30's.Mine is a UPR k member too.

which K-member did you end up using? the 96 up modular? or do you not have the six anymore? did youdo a 5.0 swap?

WhiteKnight · 06-22-2003, 09:34 PM

yes it is a 96+....

it has the powertplant of a 2002 4.6 now....

V6Alex · 06-22-2003, 09:38 PM

but the 96 + modular tubular k-member also works for the six right?

WhiteKnight · 06-22-2003, 10:10 PM

not sure.... i am guessing it should....

if you have a 96 plus then a mod one
and a 94/95 you need one for a 5.0

although i know on v6power a few of the guys were getting some custom ones made....not sure if this was because they were getting a good deal on them from some guy or because tubular ones don't work with our 3.8s....

good question to post on V6power though... i though would say it should
