    Need help on suspension setup

    I have an '89 notchback. I am wanting to run a wide rear drag radial and skinnies up front. I am wanting to install a 2.5" mac catback with 3" tips, so the tailpipes must clear the wheels/tires. I already have proform upper and lower control arms and stock v8 springs with one coil cut in front...

    So I should be okay by just eyeballing it to make sure that the tie rod end follows the same angle as the lower control arm?

    Adjusting bumpsteer necessary on a lowered fox?

    I did a search and found adjusting the bumpsteer two different ways. One was just making the tie rod end level with the bottom of the a-arm and the Second was just making the tie rod end level with the ground. Which one of these is correct and is it really this easy?

    Adjusting bumpsteer necessary on a lowered fox?

    I am installing BBK progressive springs in my '89 coupe. I have heard that it is a good idea to install a bumpsteer kit if you lower your car. I was reading the instructions on how to adjust bumpsteer on Maximum Motorsport's website and it seems very difficult to do. Is it really necessary to...

    5.0Resto's 5-lug conversion

    They say that the rear axles are 25% stronger than stock. Has anyone had problems with these breaking from too much power? And if I wanted to later, can I replace them with 79-93 Moser 5 lug axles or are they a different length?

    Rear spring removal

    Yah, sway bar and quad shocks removed. I forgot about the brake lines. I'll check tomorrow. That could of been what was holding the rear from dropping farther. I thought that the driveshaft might of had something to do with it. I've also heard of putting a jack underneath the lower control arm...

    Front control arms stuck

    No air tools or torch. I tried smashing it with a hammer and it wouldn't move. Maybe if it soaks in wd40 overnight it will be easier to remove tomorrow.

    Rear spring removal

    I tried putting jack stands under the frame, disconnecting the shocks and dropping the rear end with the jack but the rear end wouldn't drop low enough. Would it help to jack up one side once it is dropped down?

    Front control arms stuck

    I'm currently replacing the front control arms on an '89 lx. I've got both of the rear bolts and nuts removed and I got both front nuts removed, but the front bolts just twist inside the bushings. I've tried hammering but that did not work either. What could I try next?

    Roll bar choices??

    4-lug wheel spacers?

    Does someone make a 4-lug wheel spacer in 1/2" or 1". The only ones that I could find were maximum motorsport's 1/4" spacers. I'm running Ford racing 17x8 cobras and wanted to move the rear wheels out about 1/2 inch or a little bit more.
