Hey guys,

Ok I finally ordered my suspension for my 98 Convertible. My goal is to put the rear on the ground at the track and improve 60' times while keeping a nice roadable car.

I have ordered/purchased:

275 40 17 rear tires (prob get a set of drag slicks on diff rims for the track)

Strange (Brand) 10 way adjustable rear shocks (STR-S6004LM)
Eibach Convertible Pro-Kit (3530.140) (finally after 8 months of owning the damn thing... priorities are a bitch... too many parts to buy)
Moob Sway Bar End Links
Nice Bushings
01 PBR Dual Piston Calipers/Spindles/Rotors

Ok... Now on the front shocks. I have not ordered anything yet. Should I go for factory replacement, drag shocks, or nice street shocks? Any specific ratio? How Important is my selection here? I am not so concerned with the best ride, I just want my weight transfer correct to the rear.

I am planning on adjustable upper rear links. What else am I missing?

Should I/Can I put a bag in the passenger side with the pro springs?

What size tire would you put on the front? 245 45 17?

When do I start needing battle boxes?

Thanks!

Im not sure on eh suspension, Im in the same bind!

On the Wheels, I run 275's on all 4's.... That way i can Rotate. They definitely last longer that way.. I also have a Spare set with 315 Drag Radials for the Track.

Any problems with rubbing in the front? Are you lowered at all?

Ryan86272

I am Lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit... it rubbed but the Cardboard Stuff in the wheel well was Ripped, leaning down over the tire I Fixd that and No Probs. Where is florida are you? you can Try my tires on your car if you want one day? Im in Tampa Area... My friend had a lowered 98gt... Ill ask him what size he use 2 run...


EDIT: just saw Mike in CAPE?? Guessing Cape Coral?

I run 265s at all four corners with no rubbing.

Yup, Cape Coral... No too far from you. Maybe I will run across you at a track one day.

I appreciate the offer... But, I believe ya. Thanks for the info.

Anyone else have any input (suspension wise?)
