Default Griggs Racing S197 running everything down

Man, I am dyin' for one of these Griggs Racing cars. Forget Roush and Saleen. Watch the Infineon lap video. He runs down every factory "race" car on the track. In a Mustang!

griggs is overpriced because they have a monopoly on the high end suspension market

With that little body roll........I'm going to guess its punishing on the street, even more so then my Roush set-up.
Engine noise makes me want to just add a swack of NA mods.

I have never heard of Grigg's before this video. I am very impressed. I wish I knew how to downshift like that.

I wish they would break down there system for you piece by piece you have to buy 2000+ just in parts at a time.
Actually you can do it in phases. They have all the parts for sale individually on their site and have several "levels" depending on whether you want the car setup for "street" mild or "track" wild. And from what I'm hearing it rides not much different from stock even with the TT (track toy) setup.

I think I've finally figured out what I want to do with my suspension. I'm going to start with their LCA's and watts link for the rear. Still debating the torque arm setup and seeing what the suspension gurus make of it. The torque arm also appears to require exhaust modifications and I'm not sure I want to rework my exhaust so that it will fit. I'm planning to contact Griggs after the holidays talk it over with them.
