Post your Suspension mods

[Midnight11]

Heres a thread dedicated to your suspension. Post all the mods you have done and how you like it, etc.

Im running Koni STR.Ts struts and shocks with steeda sport springs. Ride height is perfect for me and the ride quality is better than stock!

Much better homey, coilovers was a good decision. The overall pacakge of your car looks much better!!

[shadow11]

Looks good Nick!

[maxpayne]

Wow. Sick.

[Luke]

Broke down with the sales going on and bought myself an early Christmas present. Already done with the shopping for the wife and daughter so figured why not. And I already have lca's and brackets, just need to decide on shocks/struts.

[Midnight11]

nice! and konis!

[Luke]

I'm still doing a little research on it, don't know if I want to switch to coilovers or not. Looks like plenty of guys are getting reasonable 60's with good shocks/struts.

I'm sure you've posted it somewhere before but what are the 60 ft times with that setup? And IIRC, you have 4.10's right?

[Yagermeister]

Luke, Yes on the 4.10s. My car is an auto with a stock converter so my 60ft isn't what it could be compared to a manual but my best is a 1.77 in good weather this year :rocking:

[46Tbird]

That's strong for an auto with a stock converter! Although, with 4.10s and a 4.17 1st gear, that's also a lot of mechanical leverage. Just curious, what tire is that? I'm assuming a 275/60 radial.

So when's the converter coming? I keep holding myself back from buying a 4C, the bug to go faster is an expensive bitch.

Longtubes and Driveshaft hopefully within a month and then a converter with around 4200 stall hopefully during the summer sometime. Have a friend who had gone 11.71 (just a hair slower than me with similar setup) and just installed a 5C (4200 stall) and went down to 11.15 instantly with a few more tweaks to the tune

I've considered the 5C as well, when the time comes I'll give him a call and get his recommendation. I picked up a D/S on an SVT group buy, it's actually getting sent back soon. Driving down the road I got a horrible vibration and it got so bad that even riding the brake the car would shake. Had to put the stock shaft back in til they check it out and send me a replacement.

[DirtyD]

My setup:

Tokico D-Spec adjustable shocks and struts (currently set to 4.5 turns front, 4.75 turns rear)
BMR SP009 springs
GT500 strut mounts
Eibach 1° camber bolts
Freedom Racing Aluminum Dbl Adj PHB

Next on the list will be LCAs or relo brackets.

When are you going to start pulling wheels off the ground?

According to the starter at Ennis, they got off the ground during the last trip. Here's a link to the video the starter took:

Needs more air, drag that bumper!!!

Once the converter goes in there will be much more air ;)

[merlinmol]

I just took everything out, I wanted to feel that nice old-school Caddilac ride, so that every time I hit a bump the car would launch a foot into the air and bounce for 10 days. No one rides on air like mine does!

Ok so with some help from 03machme and midnight11 last friday we lowered my car. Mods are: FRPP K springs, Eibach pro kit springs/struts,Eibach camber bolts, BMR panhard bar, UPR Pro LCA's, Steeda adj UCA- not installed yet. A few cell phone pics...

[03MachMe]

Mucho betterer

[Bearded Banger]

Looks great!

[m_tyler_r]

just got eibach sportline springs with the eibach bolts yesterday, 517 I'll put better pics up later

[DevGittinJr]

I see this is kind of an old thread, but I thought I'd contribute anyway.

FRPP- K springs, sway bars, adj. shocks/ struts, bump stops, adj. panhard bar, GT500 front lower control arms, FR500C rear lower control arms, Boss 302S rear lca relocation brackets, Boss 302S adj. tie rod ends/ bumpsteer kit, stock Bullitt strut tower brace

Shelby- caster/ camber plates, tubular radiator support, tubular k-member w/ 1/2" engine drop, k-member support plates, a-arm brace, subframe connectors, rear shock tower brace, adj. front sway bar end links, adj. poly rear upper control arm and bracket, panhard support, panhard relocation bracket.

Steeda- X5 balljoints

Prothane- front lca bushings

Eibach- camber bolts (not installed)

Caster is 6.9, camber is -1.7, toe is 0. Rear axle weights removed.

All aspects of the handling are better. The chassis is WAY stiff, and the car feels much more solid. Pretty much all of the interior creaks and rattles are gone. Cornering is way flatter than stock, and turn in is pretty quick. The steering feels smoother and more precise/ controlled. The car actually brakes better too, as the nose dive is drastically reduced. Wheel hop is completely gone, and although I'm set up for corner carving, she pulls hella hard from a dig. I catch a lot of higher hp cars off guard with that. The ride quality is much firmer than stock, but not harsh at all. She is louder and there's more vibration, but I also have cams and long tubes, so it's whatevers. This is my daily driver, and it's totally fine.

I still need to have the rear shock tower brace welded in, so it will actually do something besides look cool in my trunk. I'd also like to switch to a set of mono tube coilovers with much higher spring rates than the FRPP K's (228#/ 199.5#).

I like the username. And that suspension setup sounds insane.

Thanks. Vaughn kills it in a 'Stang. I'm a fan.

It's is hella fun to drive now, and in corners it feels a lot smaller than it is.

[Dominic Toretto]

Man your Bullitt looks killer. Nice job.

My suspension mods are pretty weak right now. Installed are FRPP P-Springs. Stock shocks and struts. Like the comfort for now. Just received BMR rear LCAs and Relocation brackets yesterday. Will be getting them installed as soon as possible.

[Dominic Toretto]

Drag racing setup:
BMR LCA relo brackets (set in top hole)


I was told by Kelly at BMR for maximum traction, the bottom hole should be used. I did some research on my own as well and to me it makes sense that the bottom hole should be used to increase traction. Of course I don't have the extensive amount of mods you do so, just wondering why you are choosing the top hole?

-Alex

[Yagermeister]

Call Kelly again...He always tells me top or middle at the most never the bottom hole. Currently the top hole is used due to near stock springs...tried the middle and hooked too good. Heard crunching and car pulled hard to one side. Went back to the top hole and the issue went away and 60' went back down...can't get greedy!

Well yeah he suggested since I am only lowered an inch, to go with the middle. As my car sits now with stock LCAs the angle of the LCA is upward toward the rear, as if it is on the top setting if my relocation brackets were installed now but, they are still in the box. So to get the LCAs back to an completely horizontal the middle would be the best selection.

You basically confirmed my research was correct, the lower setting the greater the traction.

How do you like the ride on/off track? Also what size wheels/tires are you running? Looks great man.

[JDBishopArts]

On track is wonderful. Very tight and responsive. Off track even with the KONI's on full soft is aggressive but bearable. Doesn't rub unless you have 4 wheels and tires and a rolling jack in the back. haha

Wheels are Forgestar CF10s in brushed titanium. 20x10 and 20x11. 275 invos on front and 305 555rs in rear. They are street duty now.

Track duty will be the Cobra R's on 285...most likely Hoosier A6s.
