I think its a tough decision, blower or 3 grand on suspension.

woah woah where can you get a blower for a 99-04 GT for 3 grand, if that is the car he was talking aobut.

You can do a comparable suspension for ALOT less than 3 grand.

If you do the suspension, that is what the car is going to exactly be, a strip car.. One the street, you are still going to run into 13 sec cars that are going to beat you.

It would maninly be used for street racing. On a pair of drag radials. perferbally slicks but i dont think anybodys gonna wanna run when they see that. That is the same setup this guy i knows who ran a 12.8 with just boltons.

bullett springs are to stiff. i used the ford racing c-springs up front but i left the stockers in the back. bullett or ford racing c-springs are progressive. the stocker rear arent progressive so they work better. then i put lakewood 70/30's up front along with cheap rear shocks and took off the front sway bar. I get some awesome weight transfer. i have Hpm upper and adjustable lower control arms set at 110% with the quad shock off. i also have subframe connectors.

how much u spend on that setup. i wasnt gonna run those billet springs it was just an example.

Well from what i can see is that no one really cares about suspension. Dont get me wrong there are a few people out there. But look at how many times this thread was bumped to the bottom. Every1 out there wants a blower to go fast and make 400rwph. but then ur stuck in the 13s cuz u cant grip the track.

The guy who has that suspension setup was mostly stock. with the exception of gears and slicks. CMON GUYS THIS IS HOW TO GO FAST!!!!!!!
