Default suspention

ok well ill be putting the 4.10s in soon by the end of next month. as for traction isues i know ill have some. i like street tires bc i drive the car everyday rain or snow so i dont wanna buy dr. im looking into strange 10 ways front and rear. will this help with the traction on the street? at the strip i use slicks so im not worried. upper and lower control arms will be next winter bc the ones i want hpm megabite jr. are 250 for uppers and 250 for lowers.

The adjustables should help with traction. You will just have to play around with the settings to find out which work best for what you need.

I'm not exactly a suspension master, but JMAC's right the UCA's and LCA's will help.. I'm looking at a better panhard bar, and MAYBE if I can afford it, a new coil-over system with some drag shocks/springs.. I'll have to wait and see how the Nitto's do before I decide on whether or not I want new tires, but those should definitely help you stick more power to the road..

The shocks/struts & control arms will be perfect in the heat of the summer w/ street tires. BUT... If you want to be sure you won't spin out of the hole, the DR's are where it's at...

The Mach has sick suspension anyway, I say throw some DR's on it as is and see how it reacts. If DR's cured my wheelhop and traction issues (when it's 50+ degrees out, lol) then you should be in good shape w/ a set w/ out the shocks/struts and control arms...

If worst comes to worst I'd say go w/ the control arms first because the Tokico units are awesome and I wish I had some on my Cobra
