OK, well after my recent endeavour at the track a week ago, I've decided that I want to make my car a drag car. **** driving it comfortably, I want a race car.

What I'm asking is what suspension parts are going to help me on the strip. I'm not sure what springs to get. I know control arms are a must. What else? I'm looking to be able to make a launch from hell. I've heard that it's best to keep stock rear springs to the car can squat. Is that true? I know tires are important. I plan on getting 315 M/T ET Street Radials mounted on some Pro Stars for the rear.

So does anyone have a nice list of things that I should look into?

Thanks in advance.

 

Here is what I have/plan on getting

4cly Fox Body springs (front)
Adjustable shocks struts
Stock rear springs (clipped if you'd like)
Full length Subframe Conectors
Adjustable UCA's and LCA's
Don't forget about the rear end.


And BOO for for Radial tires at the track(yes I know they can work, but Bias Ply works better). Get you a nice set of street tires (or D/R's if you'd like) and then go with a REAL drag tire for the track. ET street or ET drag.

 

if your going to focus on 1/4 passes only with the car, definately go with at least 4.10's and a built rear along with full suspension before you try to go crazy with adding power.

 

OK, I'm having trouble finding 4 cyl Fox springs. Any suggestions on where to look?

 

You can get OEM replacement springs at Autozone.

 

i would too if my best run was a 15.5 [8D]

 

DAMN! I hope you guys are friends or something, cuz that was HARSH!

Just go to Autozone/advance/napa/etc........ and tell them you need front coil springs for a 93 Mustang LX 2.3L.

 

you can try ebay and the for sale trade section here.

I bought my 4cyl fronts and 5.0 rears from the for sale section on the forum. Haven't put em in yet cuz I dont have my wheels or other suspension stuff yet

 

Go to your NAPA store and ask for this part # NAPA #270-3060. They will not show upat their online store[8D]

 

We were friends...lol

Thanks, guys. Any brand of control arms you specifically recomend? Or sub frame connectors?
