This is what I currently have on the car:

BMR Tubular K-member
BMR Radiator Support/Sway Bar Delete
BMR Adjustable Lower Control Arms
BMR Adjustable Panhard Rod
BMR Panhard Relocation Bracket
BMR Adjustable Upper Control Arm
BMR Extreme Anti-Roll Bar
Steeda Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets
Spohn Rear UCA Housing Bushing Kit
MMR Rear Coil Overs, w/Comp Adjustable Sh


BUT... the car is not 60-footing as well as I'd like right now. I'm going to change the LCA on my next trip to the track, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to ditch the coilovers and go to stock springs and adj shocks.

FYI Don - you are going to want the GT500 springs with the your weight...

That's what everyone told Eric (PLstang) too. *hint hint*

What's Eric running?

 

[US-1]

Eibach Drag Launch rear springs with QA-1 coil overs in the front. They had GT500 springs on the car and it was rebounding the ass end at about the 60' mark. The Eibach's collapse at a good rate and stay there for a while. They do not "push" the rear of the car back up. As the car goes downtrack it gradually rises back as the weight shifts back toward the front.

Eibach Drag Launch rear springs

I wonder if any of our vendors carry those...

How bad would it be to daily drive with an anti-roll bar?

I drive mine on the street a lot. Its not my daily driver, but I havent noticed any difference.

 

[don_w]

I do it all the time... no issue whatsoever for me.

 

[gijosh28]

Think I'd be ok driving to and from work everyday on it. I live 26 miles from my work. A friend seems to think this would be bad for the car.

Livernois can get them for you...

 

[don_w]

Livernois can get them for you...

Good... I want to deal with our vendors anytime I can.

 

[GT RO]

So the stock GT500 springs are not worth swapping out for the stock springs ?

 

[ChevyKiller]

You know, after SD's comments about Eric's car, I went back and looked at some of my videos and sure as shit, the car bounces back like a kangaroo...lol (hell - just look at my avatar)

I ordered the eibach drag springs from livernois...


The question to SD and Eric is...

Do you use the airbag that comes with them or just the springs?

 

[US-1]

Airbags are for low riders.

 

[ChevyKiller]

Thought so but they come with the springs.
