im trying to figure out what will give me the best handeling for cornering and what not. so far i have a 1 inch drop front and rear and subframe connectors. im trying to figure out what shocks to use and i narrowed it down between either bilstein or KYB's(adjustables) or strange(adj.) which would be best?
the bilstein front and rear will cost me $543.80, KYB $419.89, strange 379.80
im also going to throw on a bbk strut tower brace, summit U/L control arms.

would 17" rims with maybe wanli tires also be benefical? also how wide of a tire should i go fron and rear since the rims are 9" wide

im want to be able to control my stang into slides similar but not as extream as they do on drift50.com

id go strange adjustables, I have KYB on my car and im not satisfied. Its better than stock but ehh.

strange ftw!!

wow alot of people like the strange. of the 3 i mentioned there almost 200$ cheaper. i need more opinons though because im going to spend about 1000 bucks on my car suspension wise so i deffenitly dont want to buy the wrong parts. im also 18 so im on a budget build so i cant go spending like a mad man.

a 9" rim should be good enough to support 275mm wide tire so say something like a 275/40/17 would be ok.

i was going to go 245/45/17 all around on 17" black 95 cobra replica rims. 275's seem way to big for me. i have 245's now and they give me great traction, remeber i want to be able to brake it loose someimes so 275's might be over doing it

if you can't break 275's loose...you need more power!!

im making 250hp 320tq to the fly. the most im going to do to my motor this year is under drive pullie and a pro products intake mani with a 65mm tb and egr so i might his 270 hp if im lucky. will the 245/45/17 with ok on a 9" rim

^^^^ should be but it's a little small of a tire for a 9 inch rim...275's would look more at home on a 9 inch rim

crocop

i know exactly what you mean man. my dad has 275's on his cl65 and they look awsome, but to small for his car because with traction off and full throttle he can lay some serious rubber with that motor.

but how will that affect my handling say i go 245's from 275's on the rear?
