Thought I'd share my latest endeavor on my street car. The new engine is definitely too much for the stock suspension/drivetrain. Powermaster failed as I was pulling into the driveway on my way home from the track last time out. What started out as a brake job has turned into this. Rather than hacking up the factory 10-bolt rear I let my drag racer mindset get the best of me.
Moser M9 Housing custom narrowed 1/2" per side - this will enable me to tuck the tires UNDER the car using the more commonly available 3.5" wheel backspacing instead of having the "bronco billy" look.
Moser narrowed 35 spline axles
Moser aluminum center section 3.50 Pro-gears with Wavelock 35-spline differential (lifetime guaranteed!)
SC&C Adjustable Tubular UCAs with Howe NASCAR-style tall ball joints - ball joints drop ride height about 3/4 - 1" by themselves
SPC Ride Height Adjustable LCAs with Howe tall ball joints - these are adjustable from about -2 inches to +1 inch
This will all accompany the existing Eibach springs, H&R rear upper and lower control arms and H&R swaybar. Still waiting on Aerospace 4-piston, drilled & slotted disc brakes for all four corners, aluminum double-adjustable Vari-shocks, plus a few other odds and ends.
Thanks to John Evans (JEvans) for the long-distance measuring and collaboration on this project and Marcus at SC&C for his insight on the overall suspension goals. The car should be low but definitely not slow and be able to handle way more than the current engine can throw at it. Stay tuned....................................
