Griggs Suspension
Hey, anybody have experience with the Griggs GR40 suspension setup? Looks to be very cool. The physics and geometry changes seem to make sense.
I don't have a problem with the expense of the parts, but a $1600 install seems to be a bit on the high side. I'm just looking for recommendations and nay-sayers. I'd like to hear from someone who either has the system or has tried the system.
I was initially thinking an IRS swap for my Mach 1, but when I came across Griggs, it seemed to be the answer to my suspension concerns. Especially since I'd like to go FI later on down the line.

RE: Griggs Suspension
from what i hear there is a lot of good news concerning their SLA suspension, muscle mustangs and fast fords gave it the thumbs up and im looking into the system myself...there is an AIX buildup online somewhere using the system (well...most of it)...its geometry basics are far superior over the modified MacPherson...however im still curious if you can remove the strut towers cause well...its an SLA now isnt it? the strut is contained between the A-arms

RE: Griggs Suspension
Try Griggs Racing...
Anyway, it's a suspension system that changes the geometry of the car to bring the center of gravity up. They try to explain that the mustang's natural center of gravity is very low, and lowering the car puts the center of gravity underneath the ground. Instead, the system replaces a lot of things underneath the car, placing the center of gravity where it's supposed to be, giving the car a more neutral balance side to side and front to back.
So, it's supposed to give the car much better handling without sacrificing ride quality.
And yes, the car has a killer looking lowered stance that isn't just for show (ahem...eibach).
