Re: My '86 T-Bird Reply #17 – March 15, 2005, 11:00:07 AM up front, youre able to use stang struts, especially now that youre lowered, the rear is the hard partare you planning on doing the 11" brake upgrade up front? Quote Selected
Re: My '86 T-Bird Reply #18 – March 15, 2005, 01:22:22 PM Yes, I plan on doing the 11' upgrade on the front and maybe convert to rear disc. Quote Selected
Re: My '86 T-Bird Reply #19 – March 15, 2005, 01:43:45 PM wait untill you do the front brake conversion to get struts, because the spindles for the 10" and 11" are differenteven picking up some monroe sensatracks wouldnt be bad if youre on bad shocks/struts, theyre cheap, and they do work rather well Quote Selected
Re: My '86 T-Bird Reply #20 – March 15, 2005, 01:46:09 PM also, what are the limits of the class youre in mod wise? Quote Selected
Re: My '86 T-Bird Reply #21 – March 15, 2005, 04:08:01 PM In E Street Prepared or ESP for short, suspension mods are unlimited as long as you use the factory mounting points. So coil-overs are illegal in this class unless the car came with coil-overs from the factory. I might try bigger sway bars first considering I have the stock 1' front bar and a meisly looking stock rear bar. The KYB GR-2s work fine, its a little stiff in the front and a little on the soft side in the rear, but I will probably wait and do the struts when I do the brakes, its just finding what to use for the rear. KYB Gas-A-Just shocks are pretty stiff and would probably work ok with a set of KYB AGX adjustible struts in the front. But in AutoX most of your adjustments are made in the rear suspension so I'm SOL on that. On thing I still have to reserch is a adjustible rear sway bar, if it is not a bolt on "no modifications to car to make it work" part, I can't use it. Quote Selected
