Ah, now I see why you were puppiesg on the super-low Mustang in that other thread.

I don't blame ya. The only way to get a Fox to really handle is to throw everything away and start over again. What c/c plates are you running? I hope you intend to stay away from an aluminum set, they don't appreciate bearing the full load of the front end. You're running a strut tower brace too? I think I see it in white in one of the pics.

Sweet ride gumby. I like that a lot. What are your plans for it? Full road racing or autocross setup? Or something a little more streetable? I assume it will see some street time since you're gonna run the 400s...

the front suspension is together!:banana: no new pics jus yet, but it looks the same, plus a spring, and on both sides now.

jus a couple observations for no one in particular.

1) i had to sand the top edge of the new bushings to fit into the front buckets on the Kmember. no biggie, jus the shoulder diameter was too big for my buckets.
2) for anyone lookin to use sn95 braided lines on a 87 TC, you will NOT need adapters. i got my calipers on and connected to the hard lines on both sides, and the fittings match up to the sn95 stuff.
3) 7" coils may be too short. i spaced up the sleeve to get to a decent ride height, but in my haste to get a good deal on the coils, i overlooked a possible issue with coil bind. wont know for sure till i get the motor back in and find out how much these springs compress at rest.

Very nice. Hope replacing the springs won't be necessary.

Show us some pics when your host becomes available.
