Alright to anyone who didn't see my thread in the Chassis section http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=13326
After some much appreciated help from Sam and Trackbird and other members (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I've compiled my list: Shocks http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...1&ModelID=4 Springs http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...4&ModelID=4 Panhard bar http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...9&ModelID=4 although for the record Sam recommended the watts link (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) but I would've had to ditch something else for it's sake . . . so panhard it is . . . and C5 brakes http://www.kore3.com/proddetail.php?prod=10105-01 minus the brackets which I will get from a forum member . . . Sound good to everyone ? ? ? Thank you for all your advice and help (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) I'm probably gonna start ordering next week so speak now or forever hold you peace . . .

Only thing I would really change is get coilover sleeves and spring jacks so you can use cheap, universal race springs. Why lock yourself into one rate, height etc.? (albeit a good one) The panhard you could probably sell in the future if you decided to go watts link. Anyways I'd go with a mild steel panhard bar if you can find one in the same wall thickness. CrMo/4130 does not gain you a thing on a panhard bar on our cars. The panhard bar is so long and slender that it will fail in buckling. The buckling strength of that column is based on elastic modulus of steel which is the same for carbon steel and 4130.
Sorry for the rant, just tired of seeing chrome moly panhard bars being pushed. |
