    Fox Need advise on front suspension setup

    I think I've decided on proper fitting spacers. The best solution would be to get wheels that fit but I am not getting new wheels until I go 5-lug, which isn't now. So spacers it is.

    Thanks for the info. Looks like I was thinking about the geometry all wrong.

    Fox Need advise on front suspension setup

    What costly suspension mods? I found this setup for $400 off an old drag car and sold the spindles/brake parts, 10 yrs ago... I'm not going to drop $1,000 on 4-lug wheels. And I am not going 5-lug right now. I'll keep a spacer on there before I change the wheels. Though I do realize proper...

    Fox Need advise on front suspension setup

    Yea I don't have any right now unfortunately, car is in storage. Can't tell if your spindles help but it still looks pretty close, I'd say if you had another inch of wheel + tire, it could be rubbing the spring like mine. I want a shorter arm that would bring the spindle back just a tiny bit...

    Fox Need advise on front suspension setup

    Yea I'm not sure either, I thought I heard somewhere that tubular a-arms are shorter. And looking at these UPR control arms, in the description they actually say they can be 1-2" shorter than stock a-arms. If it is indeed 1" shorter and pulls the spindle back just a little closer to the...

    Fox Need advise on front suspension setup

    Ok, this is useful information. Thank you. I think the reason I consider mine to be unsafe is because I have two of the crappy universal spacers stacked on top of each other on each wheel. I think I will go and buy a pair of these...

    Fox Need advise on front suspension setup

    Maybe it would help to clarify, or maybe not.. My car has 1,000 things wrong with it. I am trying to fix things little by little to get it into drivable condition. I don't consider the car "drivable" with .5" spacers on each wheel. I am not trying to go all out on the suspension. I am just...

    Fox Need advise on front suspension setup

    Unfortunately they don't have a 17x8 in my wheels, also $400 for a new front set of wheels plus tires wouldn't be worth it. I think putting tubular a-arms on it would be cheaper, but don't know if that would solve my problem. Looking for a budget friendly option.

    Fox Need advise on front suspension setup

    Just looking to get some opinions on what to do. My 93 GT, has basically factory front end suspension but I had put caster camber plates and a QA1 coilover setup on it, I bought them used, I believe it came of an SN-95 but not entirely sure. I also have 17x9 wheels all around. Anyways, they...

    Can't wait to see this thing done, based on the air scoop and intake seen in the rendering I don't think they would go electric. All of Ken Blocks cars are known for making the most absurd noise out of the exhaust, there's no way they can come out with something silent. If Ford wants to...

    So my parts were coming in from New York, and via the USPS none the less, so my package was delayed for like 4 days and wasn't able to finish the car this past weekend. I finally got my parts in and got everything ready to go, hopefully this weekend I will start it up. Walbro 255lph & a $45...

    Been good man, glad to see you're still around. Interesting video, I did a little research and unfortunately I don't have access to ethanol free gas anywhere near me. My plan will be to just not let it sit for so long, at least start it up and drive it around the block once a month.

    Thanks! I haven't decided yet, I still got the LX bumper but I sold the Saleen front piece years back when I needed the money. I have been heavily considering repurchasing the Saleen front end and doing some kind of cheap paint job to make it match. At least spray can primer white would be...

    I know Texas has a huge car scene but man I just haven't been able to find it. Maybe it's because I'm in Dallas where the only thing that matters is if you drive a BMW or Mercedes and people's toy cars are Ferrari's and Mclaren's. Driving my loud boxy Mustang with two colors, the only thing I...

    Some plans for the car: - The car is pretty beat up so my overall goal right now is to just restore things that are broken and get it cleaned up looking as close to new as possible. I won't have money for paint anytime soon but at least the interior and drive train. - Currently have GT40p's...

    haha well I was doing all the prep at my condo, the car is at my mom's so I had to bring everything there ready to go. Yea, I grew up mostly my whole life in FL, Orlando specifically. But I'm pretty Texan now.

    More! If you zoom in here you can see the mesh from the fuel strainer almost looks like its fused to the bottom of the tank. Started to suspect someone poured something in my tank to make it corrode like this. Or maybe just crappy seals and mother nature?
