Suspension forum?

[mrltd]

Not many people doing suspension/brake upgrades, but I'm making some headway and will be autocrossing and giving my input on setups. Would also be a good place to dump some FAQ answers.

You know, this actually sounds like a good idea...

[DuceAnAHalf]

hte bulk will be talk about ENS bushings and springs and the 98+ upgrade i dont more than a few here are going to seriously modify their suspensions.

but its cool to dream of stuff to do to the car when the inevitalbe day of winning the lottery comes

[Grand Marquis GT]

Ive already done the ENS treatment...

[mrltd]

yeah, the brakes and suspension are stuff that aren't talked about too much. But there is some FAQ stuff that is pretty commonly talked about, replacement springs, etc, minor brake upgrades. I'm going nuts on my suspension. I found a ton of stuff that'll work great and be inexpensive for the panthers. I've been conversing on corral with a guy that has done a few things with his 2 door marq...

Prolly just be Scott and I talking about the ideas and plans we have.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Tell the guy on corral to join up.

We could really use his input.

[mrltd]

I mentioned it. I've got most of the info now too. It's pretty much just him and I talking in the one thread.

Camaro shocks work front and rear. Chevelle springs can be used up front if you use a spring bucket (another plus of a bucket or a weight jack plate is adjustibility of ride height.)

Check out www.speedwaymotors.com for all the suspension parts

As for mine these are my plans

rear suspension converted to a torque-arm set-up using a Watts-link and using coil-over shocks. with 15 X 10 circle track wheels. and using the 92+ rear disc set-up.

up front 96-97 spindles using 12" rotors and 4-piston Wilwood calipers. i already have Carrera street stock shocks (#8 valving and a dampning of 550). am using 89 PI springs with 1 coil removed for a rate of about 835 in/lbs. In the future i might step up to 1150 in/lbs springs. I am having Delrin bushings machined for the 92-95 upper control arm. I will have Delrin bushings made for the lower arms also.

Well? got some interest here...
