Suspension mods for 60 ft.'s

xtreme89gt · 02-11-2004, 02:45 PM

What should i go with For suspension parts to help my 60 ft.s? 90/10's or 70/30's? I want the 90/10 transfer, but are they streetable enough or are they downright dangerous, and what other parts would you reccommend? Im lookin at my suspension before i buy anything major for the engine so and help would be appreciated!

i'm going to hitch a ride in this thread as well.

right now i have MM lca's and slicks with 4.10's.

Why not go with adjustables? I use Kyb and they work fine.

redrum · 02-11-2004, 03:13 PM

yea.. i want adjustables!!! that would rule! haha

I have seen guys get good 60's with stock struts and 4 cyl springs, and you have decent road manners also.

Go with the the ajustables:jeff:

spawnmav · 02-11-2004, 06:33 PM

Rear control arms do wonders for your 60 ft.s :jeff:

xtreme89gt · 02-11-2004, 11:51 PM

yea but when you say they do wonders for your 60', are you talking about stick cars or autos too? (im not launching or anything and have absolutely no problems with traction)Stall is comin soon though!:jeff:

If you have no problem with traction then why are you worried about 60 ft.s?

SilverSnake · 02-14-2004, 06:32 PM

have to agree with 12second5.0

what is the point of your question?

and second what you do to your suspension
depends on your intent: street, street/strip or strip only

tire · 02-16-2004, 02:33 AM

well until will (xtreme89gt) comes back to this thread, i'll hijack it. :jeff:

i need it to be a daily driver so street/strip.

right now i have MM lca's and slicks with 4.10's.

enouf4u · 02-16-2004, 02:59 AM

uper and lower control arms tires and 90/10 have them on my coupe which i drive evryday

Nighthawk · 02-16-2004, 01:46 PM

i drove my stang with 90/10's and 175 lb/in springs, and no front sway bar. oh and on skinnies. I drove it like this everyday for about 15k miles. was it liveable? yes, it was very easy to get used to and wasn't that bad.

BUUUUUT, after a while the car wasn't very fun to drive on the street. I mean you really couldn't do anything drastic and it got rather boring.

Rear control arms are great because they actually help handling AND drag strip performance.
