[QUOTE="98DesertGT, post: 1414595, member: 21887"] Howdy, as some may know, I'm planning to run this car open track. Figured it was time to do something new. Now my questions are rather vague...But just trying to get a feel for a few details. the track isn't very official. I've seen some trucks/jeeps on the track with cars. if that's any indication. So I'm thinking to start slowly. Assuming I even enjoy it.. So not going insane with suspension or other things. So I suppose first question. pointers for a good entry level suspension setup? I was looking at eibach pro system. it's generally well reviewed. not too low, and I've ran their sway bars before with resounding success. Granted its no MM setup. But compared to18-19 year old stock... Idea two was some orange Konis with around 1-1.5 drop. as well as LCAs, possibly UCA, or at least new bushings. I'm planning MM weld in SFC, possibly a STB, unless someone talks me out of it. Also trying to drop down to 3100 or less curb weight. Question 2 This is more hypothetical... a bolt on 5.4 swap. In my head the torque would make plenty of low and mid range to get me out of holes and definitely good on straights. If not, I've already got the 4.6 PI swapped so I'll go 4.10s. Sorry if I'm all over the place. But I'm new to the idea. I've driven the autobahn, hockenheim ring, and the Nuremberg(wrong spelling?) when stationed overseas and kind of grew to like the twisties. We have a track a few hours away in NM, so I'm wanting to get a track car built. Granted tires and experience are key. I am just poking around the other areas. Open to suggestions and advice!! School me! [/QUOTE]
