I need to get some pictures of it on a lift. You can see the coilover here, and the shiny hex bolt is for the Panhard bar. The torque arm is visible under the driveshaft to the right.

Yeah, like I said, I need to get some with it lifted. Here's the torque arm by itself, and the front suspension that I had installed last fall.

I haven't gotten to play with it yet, but I can definitely feel that the weight transfer is different--it feels more shifted to the rear.

Neat-oh. I have Griggs stuff under the front of one of my cars too. :)

thats sick dude. I bet it handles like a race car now

I've been wanting to do this since I factory-ordered the car in '95!

I used to autocross, but I haven't done that in years. I need to start again.

I love that I spent more money under the car than anywhere else in fixing it up.

The Konis are adjustable all around. It's easy up front. There's a plastic cap you put over the top and turn to one of three positions.

For the rear, apparently you have to jack up the car, disconnect the end of the shock, slide a plastic collar to the side, twist the shock, and hit a button.

So I'm hoping i like the button the chassis shop selected.

The rear spring height is adjustable, too.

All the mechanical work was done at LaMotta Performance in Longwood, FL. The rear suspension was installed by TRZ Motorsports in Kissimmee, FL. I got the car repainted at Optimum Body Werks in Orlando (by a French guy who drives a '70 Cougar!).

I still have to get my Cobra brakes installed and paint my new shifter knob.
