Shock help with Sportlines
Before you flame, yes I have worn OUT the search button on this site. I was wondering if these two work well together? If so, will the D-Specs last a while (4-5 years)? My car is a DD that sees 1-2 open track days a year, and 4-5 visits to the drag strip a year.
Current mods on car are JLT, SCT tune, 4.10's, MGW Shifter, FRPP K springs, stock suspension, 18" FR500's with 265/35/18 and 285/65/18.
Future mods are going to be 275/40/18 and 285/40/18 tires, BMR upper and lower control arms, BMR Panhard bar, Vortech non-intercooled 8-10 psi kit, and maybe a prochamber.
I do not have any plans for the following, one piece drive shaft, longtube headers, control arm relocation brackets, caster camber plates (if I can help it. I will try the bolt route first). I know some here will flame me for that, but I cannot see spending 3-400 on them (even though I did on my 03 GT). My FRPP K springs on this car were set to spec with stock bolt/shocks. The caster on this car is 7 degrees, and the camber after lowering another .2 up front should not need more than 2 degrees of adjustment. I am no expert though...
For those who have Sportlines and are not running D-Specs. What are you running? And how are the shocks you are running working out?
