Default Suspension Questions

I got a 86 mustang gt with alot of performance parts installed and my car is pretty fast, my question is that im trying to make my car for drag and i have original suspension but i want to down the road put a supercharger and some more things in it, now i was wondering which suspension set up would be the best also i want to fit slicks under the rear so i won't be spinning at the line. So whatever your suggestions are i appreciate.

Buy some rims, slap on some slicks that aren't huge. Do some measuring and make sure they fit in the wheel well.



Firm up your rear dampers.

The thing is that, the only slicks that will fit under there are the 26.0x8.5 now with a supercharger wouldn't that not make those tires just keep spinning also about the clearance to the drag launch suspension is really lowered and i would rub like sh*t unless i tub the back out right.

Upgrade your rubber compounds if you're spinning like no other then.
