Drag Suspension

[Aaron'S'tang]

I need to get rid of my Eibach lowering springs and get some 50/50s in the back and some 90/10 in the front. I'm pretty dumd when it comes to suspension so I really don't know where to start. Where should I start? Where should I look? What brand is good? What is the install time and difficutly? Any help and opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Eibach Drag Spring Kit with the air bag and Strange shocks and struts.

I am also in the same boat, I got the Racecraft lowering springs (too low) and stock struts/shocks and NEED to upgrade.
Ultimately what I want is a good combo that hooks real well both on the street and on the strip, but can also be set up to corner decent, by decent I mean at least as good as stock. I also want to keep the ride height somewhere in between stock and what I have now which is too low, I'm thinking about a 1" drop. I also want to be able to fit a set of 28*9 slicks out back to go with my 4.10's.
Which springs/shocks/struts will I need to accomplish this? Will I need to get rid of my MM lower non-adjustable control arms and pick up a set of the adjustables to fit those slicks?

So you wanna hook? I agree, shocks and springs are a great start, removal of the front swaybar also helps. Don't make the mistake I did, running a full drag suspension with 17x9 Cobra R's on 40 sidewall tires. Some 15x8/10" will do much better in the rear. That would be a good start, also adjustable contoll arms for the rear and a properly adjusted pinion angle and at least some drag radials and you'll be able to make the AWD boys wonder where thier advantage went. Just keep in mind that a Mustang is a nose heavy car.

Welll I already run a MT 26x8.5x15 at the track and have boxed upper and lower control arms. I still get loose in first and sometimes in second as well even after I heat up my tires. I'm thinking some 10 way adjustable shocks front/back, and a good set of 50/50 and 90/10's but don't know where to start.

Take the front sway completely off the car???

if your just building it for straight drag then id get some moroso trick rear springs{right rear is stiffer helps keep car level without bag} and some strange or koni adjustable shocks/struts, boxed stock uppers and steeda style lowers{gms,upr ect...} and completly remove the front sway bar from the car.

I was thinking of doing the same setup, 17x9's with 40 drag radials and an Eibach drag launch kit, what was the problem? I'd like to know if I don't need to go that route.

I would guess the sidewalls are to still and to short. And the soft set up didn't help anything.
