All that fun suspension stuff......but no subframe connectors? If you don't have them already...........it would be a wise choice to invest in a set...

RE: new suspension on street tires
maybe????? if you dont have the tires then no, but if the track is sticky enough and you launch hard enough, and god loves you enough, then yes.............but that is kind of a loaded question

RE: new suspension on street tires
the drag launch springs come with the airbag. how exactly does it work though?? i dont know if i understand the dynamics of it.
yea all i want is a launch picture for the wheely. if you've seen my other posts with other people asking to pop a wheelie, im not all for wheelie thing, i just want the sweet picture to hang up.

RE: new suspension on street tires
i got the airbag. What happens is the airbag goes on the passenger side rear spring, and then you have to find a place to run the tube,
I dont have a pic of it, but i ran mine to the horizontal lip below the license plate... then you pump it up to roughly 20psi. When you launch, the mustang has a tendancy (along with other cars) to sit on its passenger side tire, twisting the body and creating a kind of unsafe, and poor launching condition. The airbag only allows the car to sit so much, helping to eliminate this.........hope this helps
P.S. no one make any comments about my body work....its all back together now

Ok so i went ahead and forked out on the suspension and i'm going to wait on the tires n gears until after i rebuild my tranny.
I purchased:
eibach drag launch springs
spring isolators front and rear
strang 10 ways struts and shocks
UPR U/L control arms + new bolts
hotchkis C/C plates and hardware
all of this is on stock tires 245/50/15, 2.73 gearsand no front sway bar. do you think i'll still have lots of tire spin at launch or do you think i'll launch like a bat out of hell?

RE: new suspension on street tires
I run 11psi in my bag. Start with 10 and go from there. The only folks i know that run 20 or more are the heavy *** f-bodie's. As far as the air line, i just have it zip tied to my spring, never had a problem.
