Re: Suspension for some serious HP

I got the rear, and I have thought about caltracs too but I really like the trailing arm. The front is killing me, but once again I am probably overthinking it. I know this isn't the best comparison but a guy with a similar build, him 346 vs 390 me, same ST80 turbo, th400, he weighs in at 3050(90 Mustang Coupe) and on 16lbs of boost is running 9.80 at 145mph. I should be able to get my aeronomically challenged brick into the high 10s to low 11s if I can get it to hook. I really want to do it as safe as possible too. I am rebuilding the frontend with a PST polygraphite kit already and probably dropped spindles with the appropriate springs. Right now it feels like it "floats" instead of grabbing the road.
