Rear Suspension

[GT Drifter]

Looking to gather some info on making the ultimate drag rear suspension.

Where do I start? Swap it all out for a 4 link if there is one for Foxes? Air Bag(s) to get the best launch?

Help me out.

spool, 31 or 33 spline axles, c clip eliminators/9" ends, some type of control arms with solid bushings all teh way around (wolfe, team z etc) stock springs, anti roll bar and 50/50s and some tire

About those Drag launch spring kits some companys sell? Do they really give better weight transfer?

rear suspention needs to be lowered to get the right center of gravity.

Look no further then www.teamzmotorsports.net for the best stock style suspension currently available, you also will get set-up and tuning advice.

Use that kit with a rear coil over, and a good built proof rear and you'll be set.

The Team Z rear suspension looks sweet.
Killer price too.

What kinda rear coil overs should I look at? Need something that can be run with Lakewood 50/50s.
In the front should I just run some normal lowering springs? What kinda shocks?

Hey Rick... How well would that kit perform for a street driver that wanted to turn inside of a beamer on a tight corner?

(referring only to the rear end setup at this point)

Front - COIL OVERS using anybodies kit, Strange Adj Struts

Rear- If you go with the Tema Z Kit ask Dave about the Strange coilovers. A True coil over will not work with a Lakewood shock, they do sell kits to put a coil over in the stock location.

Dagger- I'm going to try to talk to Dave tonight I'll let you know I do have a set of special Metco lower arms that I am going to sell. They have 5 1/4 mile passes on them..lol then the car was taken apart, perfect shape, Delrin bushings, etc...

Damn, if i would have known about Team Z Motorsports rear lower control arms, at a price like that.. i would have bought them over the MM arms i bought. Looks like a heim joint on one end, and a spherical bushing on the other? Can't get much better!

Kicking myself now...

 

[Daggar]

Rick... Cool. Subscribing.

 

[GT Drifter]

Yes that's something else I'd like to know. Will this set up be good for a daily driver.

Also I can't find any info on the Strange coil overs on there website? www.strangeengineering.com

anyone wanna help out.

 

[Daggar]

Bump... You find out anything Rick?

I just got off the phone with Dave, he would not reccomend his kit for a road race/cornering set-up, it would have a lot of body roll. His kit is set up to go straight and fast....

Going stright can be more fun then turning sometimes.

Copy that Rick. Thanks for checking on it.

Is the Team Z motorsports kit street friendly for a daily driver or only good for a drag only car? I dont care about cornering at high speeds just want it to be safe. Also what kind of 60's are you guys pulling with that setup on what kind of tires?

 

[GT Drifter]

Rick 91GT said the kit is streetable.
