Hey guys got a pile of questions for you.
I have a 96 (Formally a GT) with a 408w that I put in it last spring. In order for the motor and headers to go in I had to put a new K-Member in.
Front End: I went with AJE's setup and coilovers. Nice stuff great company to deal with. However I do not like where the car sits. It almost sits back at stock height and the ride sucks. Before this I had BBK springs on the front. I would like to get it sitting low on the front again. I put the Brembo Cobra brakes on the front and had to ad a spacer to get the wheels to clear. It brought the wheels out to the width of the fender. It looks find not issues there. My fear is dropping it and having the wheel come up and hit the fender. I live in NW PA and in the spring driving on the roads here gives you a lesson in defensive driving.
*Would I or should I get a set of Drop Spindles?
The other problem I was having with this setup is the coil overs would BANG hard if I hit a bump. I do believe I may not quite have them adjusted right. However I have tried FOUR or FIVE different rate springs with no luck! I do intend to change my shocks and struts with this changeover too. Now I am running cheapy KYB's that have some age but seem to still be good.
Rear End: I intend to get the matching control arms from AJE and coilovers for the rear. And of course new shocks and eliminate the stupid quad-shocks. I also need a sway bar. Over 100k I put on this car and never had one.
*What do you all suggest I do in the rear?
I like the way some of you guys have your cars sitting low and want mine there too. But I fear the time I hit a big dip in the road and bottom out or smack my fender. Or is this not an issue because everything is stiff enough to keep it from happening.
Thans for the help!
