I pieced mine together, Im using the Qa1 coil overs, CC plates with a 200lb spring rate

You have to modify a few things to run the QA1s correct?... I'm looking into all my front suspension and trying to piece together a good combo.

No modifying at all. They actually knock off weight too

I think I kocked off 13-14lbs by switching to the qa1 coil overs

 

[GrnBullitt08]

The struts and springs (coilovers) just bolt right up huh.....hmmm, good to know. Maybe it was the brakes that I remember you doing some modifying/ cutting for...

 

[Matt D]

Yea the drag brakes requires modifying. But we have the down pack aswell if you want to do it. Brandon just finished his aswell. Don't worry Broseph lot's of differn't things you can do that has been proven and you have the Forum support if you have questions

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Not worried about the modifying... Just want to know what I'm getting myself into

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I have a budget to abide by lol...

 

[Matt D]

For sure, nice thing is... You can never run out of ideas / parts. lol Certain cars have limits... The Stangs are just about how much $ you want to put into the dam thing.

Good and bad in a way

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Works perfect... Parts are there if the money is flowing, that's all that matters

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I need to just start by buying your 4.6L, and assembly around that combo

You should change that 200 pound front spring...

I have never had more the a 130 in my all motor car

So after doing some roll racing this weekend(I know, fail. But thats all the city boys do down there on the highway), I'm going with pulling the heads this winter and only putting the k-member in over doing gears and suspension. I really noticed the lack of midrange running my buddies LS6 car. Not to mention Gateway International Raceway shut down so the car wont see the strip until the new track opens up next summer, at the earliest.

There is something special about an all motor beast.

YUP! I love it.

- Question -
How are alot of you eliminating motor and trans flex that has a big affect on shifting....I know the k-member brace and torque limiters help. But what further could benefit the car. I want to stay away from solid motor mounts because of vibration and what not.

I was thinking of some polyurethane motor mounts.....any other ideas...

I put in Bullet Poly motor mounts and I'm still having the shifting issue. It did help some, but I'm going to order the CHE k-member brace with the torque limiters and see how that works.


P.S. Matt, what's my all motor crew # lol

What ring and pinion is that? Did you get it refinished? My 4.56 has a dull grey color to it.
