Default Hey jazzer can yo help me out? I am looking into a watts link suspension

I am looking into a watts link suspension from griggs
http://www.griggsracing.com/index.ph...1fb0f83f5a45fd

And a severe duty TA from griggs as well

http://www.griggsracing.com/index.ph...1fb0f83f5a45fd

But what my question is how do i use both a watts link and a TA at the same time? I have read up on a TA and i know how that is installed but how do i install a watts link?

but should i get the spherical solid bushings?

And i will be getting MMR flsfc's also.

And i was wondering with this suspension setup will i be able to run coilover's all the way around? And what spring rate should i run?

If I had the money:
http://www.steeda.com/store/steeda-5...d-mustang.html

Otherwise, I'd stick to one brand for everything such as MM. Then you don't have to worries about parts no aligning up properly.

But DWTJR3.... what's your GOAL? What are you hoping to do here That's help Jazzer determine what he should tell you when he wakes up from this cat nap.

Jazzer and i had a talk a little while ago about my car and my goals lol. But my goal is this: my car is no longer a DD and it is a nice weather toy that i take to shows like mustang week and OCMD. I plan to drag my car very seldomly but the more and more stuff i add to my car the more and more i will drag it. But in the future i see myself dragging my car MAX 4 times a season. I mainly want a car that can handle well overall i am hoping for a car that can handle well but perform at the track as well, the few times i take it, I will not be auto crossing either i just want a overall fun car yakno?

Who... how.... what now?


... was jus nappin'

DWT.... if you are not AX'ing or open-tracking your ride, I would recommend a PHB/TA combo from MM. The WL will not prove advantageous in such a case as yours and requres a LOT of work to install a Griggs WL (or PHB, for that matter) My recommendation is to look into one of MM's Grip Boxes. Based on your budget and your ULTIMATE goals, you can pick one that suits your needs. You can build it a few parts at a time, if that works, just talk to MM about how to go about it, so it all comes together in the end.

As for spring rates.... this has a lot of variables, but 300#/300# is pretty darn good for me. I no longer run traditional CO's up front, but when I did, that rate was nice for the street. Not heavy enough for AX, but wasn't into it at that time anyway.

Now if y'all don't mind, I need to get a bit more slee.....




Jazzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

The Max Grip Box is a really nice way to go, if it suits your needs. Would be less expensive to buy the kit outright and gives you a hell of a Winter project!
