    Giant inside a fox body

    Guys, Gals: I got a problem. Im 6'4 inches and built like offensive lineman. I bought an 89 mustang as a family project, but i am finding that i dont quite fit in it without feeling like my legs are folded in some ungodly configuration. Is it possible to safely relocate the seat rails...

    Are you still rolling stock?

    I dont want to even go near that low. Just an even 1 inch drop all the way around. I started this thread with the intention of finding out whether it was worth it to drop in new and improved coil springs. I learned a few things about how they work and how much of an impact it would make...

    Are you still rolling stock?

    KYB experience I had KYB GAS a Just shocks on my 93 camaro and i can say that the car did handle well. It didnt feel like a road race car, but it rode nice and tight. Not so sure how their struts work since my camaro had shocks all the way around. If i do lower the car a bit it will be the...

    Are you still rolling stock?

    Punisher -- thanks for the advice. I was looking at the C springs. Im not so much worried about a slammed look as i am concerned with a good platform. Would you have to have an opinon on KYB Gas A Just units?

    Are you still rolling stock?

    Well yea. Thats kind of my point that i am not so sure its a notable difference in performance.. as much as its a notable difference in ride height. I read somewhere that lowering the suspension actually hurts the performance of the suspension system if you are using the stock fox mounting...

    Are you still rolling stock?

    So, im in the middle of my suspension build and i wondered how much would replacing the stock coil spring with aftermarket lowering springs would help my car handle. I know that a lower center of gravity is what most spring peddlers proclaim as the reason for the typical 1 -1.5" drop, but...

    Upper arms installed correctly?

    How do you adjust these? I was able to adjust these when they werent on the car, but HTF do i adjust them once they are bolted in? What i did is basically twist each end until it lined up with the holes in the torque arm and the bushing in the rear end housing. I was planning on setting...

    Did you have this problem with your upper control arms?

    I just moved to Lancaster, CA SVT32VDOHC: Cool deal. I had heard alot about torque boxes ripping and such so i didnt know if it was a no no to weaken them by beating them out. I actually regret spending the extra money for the UPR upper and lower reinforcements. I will probably just have...

    Did you have this problem with your upper control arms?

    Did you have this problem with your upper control arms?
