I think the stance is really nice with the crappy six-cylinder front springs and the sagging rears.

That said, I'd like to make this thing handle a little better as soon as I get the chassis de-floppified, and it is really, really floppy.

1. can someone recommend springs to keep this ride height, and increase spring rate while remaining convertible-friendly?

2. Can someone recommend the strongest full-length subframes that fit my 'vert?

3. Is a strut tower brace worthwhile?


Thanks!

MUSTANGS UNLIMITED WILL RAPE YOU. they are so over priced it's not even funny. their customer service at the CT store sucks too. right on their website it says price matching. i brought them a printout of a 255lph walbro pump for like $80 and they said there was nothing they could do

maximum motorsports sells good stuff i hear. i have kennybrown on my vert

I would recomend Global West for the sfc. I just got my set and they look amazing. They are round tube and come with everything needed. They are quite substantial.

looks good, just out of curiousity...where did you get them wheels and about how much did they run, if you don't mind me asking. Reason I ask is becasues I want a set for mine as well. Clean 4 eyed fox though.

I raped my wheels with two good tires for $150 off Ebay. The split-fives aren't very popular on the SN95s but they look balls-beautiful on 5-lug Foxes.
