89 NoTcH

JUST BOUGHT AN 89 NOTCHBACK. NEEDS SHOCKS AND STRUTS BAD. NOT SURE WHAT TO GO WITH. THOUGHT ABOUT BEING SAFE WITH MOTORCRAFT BUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING BETTER OUT THERE COMPARIBLY PRICED WITH MOTORCRAFT (ABOUT 250.00 FOR ALL 4) I WOULD RATHER GET THAT. BUY THE WAY THIS ISNT A TRACK CAR. (YET)

lol thanks for that link im ordering a set this week now!!!

yea... they make a huge difference..... i figured my car rode like sh*t cus it was a convertable...boy was i wrong. a set of shocks and struts and some subframe connectors and it rides like my mom '04 impala and handles 2 times better.

im gonna get subframes and a atrut tower brace i a week or two also and im installin my sportline springs in a day or two..... should handle awesome after that........then in a month or so illl have control arms, shock tower brace(rear) and c&c plates....

damn, what do you have in mind for your car? autocross or just having fun

i want an all round performing car.... i wanna do low 13's but handle really good too.... its a daily driver

I did the same things for my 86 convert. Kenny Brown welded subrframes, Koni shocks/struts, ADCO anti roll sway bar, BBK castor/cambor plates, Motorsport strut tower brace.

You gotta keep it on the road and get the power to the pavement once you start increasing HP

getting the stang to handle should be #1 priority for any1 with performance in mind

out of the box, these cars handle like ****!!

i cant wait to throw some money into my suspension

sure as hell needs it
