Help deciding on struts?

[Dillon Dollar]

I have the front sway bar removed on my car and it feel like I boat and at high speeds tends to shake I was told if I swapped out the factory struts for something stiffer or adjustable that it would improve on this issue.

My car is mainly a street car but I do usually dig race the car and with my new TT setup I can not reinstall the sway bar and I'd like to find a solution for this

Suspension mods:
Stock front springs
Stock struts
BMR k member
BBC LCA
Solid uca and mount
BMR extreme anti roll bar
BMR relocation brackets
Cobra jet rear springs
Cobra jet rear shocks

Any input would be greatly appreciated oh and the car will be in the 900 hp range when the TT kit is complete

I've got qa1 adjustable front coilovers with no sway bar.. On full loose its handles like a boat,but with them on the higher settings its much more stable. It will never feel like it did with the sway bar. I also have strange adj rear shocks, and the rears make a large difference as well. When crusing around the street I leave them at +7 all around and that makes it much more drivable on the highway.

Yeah BMR suggested to get strange adjustable struts up front.

Normally I would say "Koni Sports (Yellows)," but since you're into drag racing, I would also say Strange or the QA1s.

I asked the same question when I had the 2010; my plan was to use the QA1 adj shocks and then get something to match the fronts. Sam Strano saw my post and asked me to call him which I did and we had a discussion. He recommended the Koni STR's for a good compromise of street/track use, took his advice and installed them on the 2010 and on the 2013. I know there are some who don't like Strano and have their own opinions so take it for what it is worth.

How do you like the str's

I've heard the Koni STR-T are just about like the yellow (Sport) on the softest setting. I have the Koni yellows and leave them on the softest setting all the time. I could crank them up a little for the street but I don't. Been running without a front sway bar for about 18 months or so.

How does it handle compared to the stock strut

Couldn't tell you, I pulled the stock struts off a looooong time ago. The Bullitt has different springs than the stock GT as well.

 

[Dillon Dollar]

Ah I see. I may just buy some to see how they work

I run strange adjustables and no swaybar. I don't have any issues at high speeds.

 

[Dillon Dollar]

How do you have them adjusted. Full stiff?

I heard the same thing and bought STRs.
When I first installed them I was like WHOA what a difference but now I'm used to it so I can't really feel if my car is handling well or not lol
I took my front sway bar off when my car was stock with less than 5k miles but honestly I couldn't tell the difference.
Anyway you'll love STRs. They are really cheap.

I run D-specs with a Eibach Pro kit with fronts set a +4 on the street and and +6 at the track with the rears at +4 on the street and +2 at the track. Im happy with the setup. It is a little rough but it handles great with no front sway bar.

Curious as well...what do you set them at for street? And are they noisy at all? What springs you running on?

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

I run 5 clicks from full soft on the street and then at the track full soft in the front and full stiff in the rear. I am on BMR springs.

I'm looking at the same shocks and struts.. either str's or stranges. I've heard strages clunk though so I might stick to str's

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

^mine dont clunk.

 

[Dillon Dollar]

How much do stranges run

Get with Sharad, UPR was the cheapest around.
