Hey all, i'm bout to purchase the first pieces to my 90 GT project and figured while the motor and tranny are still out of the car I might as well go ahead and take care of the suspension. Cars gonna be a couple times a week cruise around town and see the strip occasionally also. 347 Stroker planning around 400whp. My suspension goals are to be able to hook up real good at the track on some Dr's and still be refined enough for the street. Here's the list I came up with, let me know if theres something i'm missing or you would change Thanks guys

Strange Engineering adj shocks $120.00
Strange Engineering adj struts $70.00
Eibach Drag launch spring kit $250.00
Lakewood Traction action lift bars $215.00
Lakewood HD Upper control arms $167.00

Let me know what u think

nacanitihs

well the shocks/struts are a good choice as well as the springs. i dont know anything about the control arms tho..

Yea thats them. If you have any other recommendations throw em out. I wasn't set 100% on the upper and lower control arms so give me some great ideas. Want to spend around 400 for the upper and lower control arms

for control arms, go with UPR or maximum motorsports, mm is more expensive, but their stuff is beyond top notch

w8less

he is going with more drag oriented stuff and you are recommending MM? have you even used the companies you are recommending?

OP looking into team z, wolfe racecraft, or baseline suspension

also i have used the lakewood lift bars. they did do their job of helping hook up but with the suspension i have chosen for the POS you can tell there is a difference

Thanks for the link. Ive heard good things about the Mega-bites noted in the article i'm search around and see what kinda prices for those. I was a lil iffy on the lakewood control arms so i'll take a look at those.

BTW if anyone was wondering frames allready tied. 4.10 gears

Just purchased my first pieces to my loooonnnnngggg expensive project lol. I know I said I was going to get the Eibach drag luanches but thankfully When i went up to Summit retail store they had a set of Moroso Drag launches on the scratch and dent shelf with some minor nicks in them for $125 so I went ahead and picked them up and saved the $125 I woulda spent. Can't imagine theres much difference between the two. Also went ahead and picked up the Strange 10 way adjustable Front struts. More to come in a week

10 Way strange shocks are now at the house. Also my interior has currently been changed over from the orignal grey/titanium to all black. Just need the seats, Project is moving along nicely Can't wait for spring to order my short block and put my suspension all together
