Default suspension mods

I was just wondering what kind of suspension mods should somebody do to a 88 gt with moderate engine mods and Ill probably be putting in 373 in rear end as well. Any help would be great.

for road race, look into a coil-over kit w/ stiff springs, strut tower brace, subframe connecters, their k-member is SICK!!!!

on a not so crazy modded car , obvious springs and matched shocks, weakness in the rear is basically the whole set up , the rubber control arms deflect alot , and uppers and the whole design dosent really do its job above stock driving , (which no stang guys does) and the sway bar acts through the lower control arms <IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">, cheaply what you need to do it get some aftermarket arms in back , with springs+shocks, at a minimum, panhard, torque arms type stuff and adj sway bars if you want to go all the way . up front springs+struts , control arm bushings , rack bushings, and sway bar end links are minimum, thoses are the worst up front , up from that is coil overs ,a arms ......., </P>


but im assuming your not going nuts , my recomendation s , springs+shocks,rear control arms , chassis stiffing kit, (subs, strut,k memeber braces), and some bushings up front , and yopu will notice a dramatic improvement, </P>


i am also a M+M dealer , if you want stuff from them drop me a mail , good luck </P>

Depending on you cash flow. I would check out **X**** motorsports. You can get a killer setup from 2,000 to 4,000.</P>
