84 GT
I have started putting my 84 Gt back together.Was wondering what suspension packages you guys are using?Or suggest.It will be driven at most 3000 -4000 miles a year and have some track time.I would like best of both worlds nice ride on highway(doesn't have to be great)and be nice for the 1/4 mile runs at the track a few times a year.Don't need it for road racing.
Looking to replace
Lower A frame
new ball joint
struts
shocks
Any suggestions would be great!!(also will be looking into upgrading rotors,calipers breaking system and comverting to five lug)

RE: 84 GT
Since you have an 84, it limits which shocks & struts you can use. I'd suggest upgrading your spindles to 87+ spindles.
The only shocks we have for your car are the KYB GR-2's. Here is the links http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...idproduct=1347and http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...idproduct=1348
I'd suggest a good set of lower control arms. These will help with street handling, as well as launches and grip at the drag strip. The Maximum Motorsports Standard Lower Control Arms are a popular choice. http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=207
For springs, I'd definitely stick with a progressive rate, and a soft spring rating. You definitely do not want anything which is too stiff, and can affect weight transfer. The Ford B springs are a popular choice for 79-93 Mustangs. http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=260
Sincerely,

RE: 84 GT
Well if you upgrade the spindles, it opens you up to many more options.
Tokico's are a better choice ... http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=937
They provide superior dampening.
