for a 400+ HP street car that will see moderate track time.. what Suspension would you go with for gription.. but still be somewhat mild street mannered. I know I am gonna give up some.. but I dont wanna give up to much. I dont mind not being the best cornering. If it nets me some good 60'

how much do you have already?

if you had two sets of rims, one for the track and street, you should have no problem at all with your stock 'rear' setup, it's designed good enough for straightline power at the track, if you want more grip get some drag springs and LCA's to start out, if you get adj UCA's it'll mess with the rear too mcuh on the street

unless you got more than what you have in your garage http://forums.stangnet.com/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1189

well I am having a Vortech installed monday and it will be running about 10psi. other than that it is all correct.

thats the main reason I ask. this is a big power jump and I was having alot of trouble hooking on Nitto's at the track. I did get a set of 16 in. rims and will be running M/T ET Street Radials 255/50/16's.

01Steeda · May 5, 2006

In a land far,far away. I have yet to see it.

01Steeda · May 5, 2006

Well I guess I'll wait and see how it does at the track (hopefully next weekend) and get some input from there. My guys tell me just the subs will help me out tremendously. I will be running on the ET Streets next time out... and prolly gonna get a new set of shocks.. tokico's

with drag springs will I be lifting the rear back up?

01Steeda · May 7, 2006

HAHA.. ok well.. what (exact) setup would you use on my car for weekend street use and the track maybe once a month?

I would simply say some drag springs or fox body 4cyl springs up front, maybe a set of adjustable shocks/struts so you can change them for the track for better weight transfer, SFC's, and some LCA's to prevent wheel hop
