Default Shocks and struts?

Who's using what and how do you like it?



If you're still stock, don't bother replying, sorry!


Thanks

Default RE: Shocks and struts?

Ford Racing Bullit Handling Package M-5400-A

Pros: Great in the corners, Eliminated the "dive" i had under breaking, ride quality was vitrually unchanged(it didnt get worse)
Cons: DEFINITLY not for drag racing. Combined with my Summit rear control arms... I can roast the living daylights out of my tires when trying to launch!

Comments: I wish I had bought MM control arms! (and maybe some Nitto's)

Thanks adder, I guess I should have been a lil more specific.

1320, it's all I need. Gettin ready to go to fatties and skinnies so there won't be any high speed cornering for me.

I am however planning on swapping over to a set of strange 10 ways this winter... i think they will make a BIG difference!

Yeah that's what I was thinking. And they're pretty reasonably priced too.

I am running the Tokico Illumina 5 ways, I would like to know how they compare the Strange 10 ways. For all drag tokico also makes a 5 way drag strut.

My car has KYB shocks, and Ebach lowering springs. I am having some other suspension probs. But the shock and struts seem to ride great. If you have wide tires, you will have to make fender adjustments. Think the springs are 2" lowering springs.

rsw007, He is running 4 banger struts up front I believe and air bags in the rear. He listed his mods before, and I thought it was interesting how he was basically a budget build, using common parts, getting that car up and going so quick.
here is his mod list...
