94-95 Mustang stocker

smracer2002 · 01-28-2011, 11:47 AM

I am taking my wifes car off the street and will start
bracket racing it.I figure I might as well spend money
once and do the suspension right until its time to go
class racing.Car has been 12.60s as it sits with all
stock suspension and lowering springs.
Would anyone care to give me a clue or suggestions on suspension
setup and parts to do this right the first time?

Make the front end loose. NO bind. Control it with adjustable struts and drag springs. Moroso works good. Aftermarket low drag brakes front and rear. Racing type factory replacement rear control arms,springs, shocks, sway bar. Light weight wheels and tires. Radial slicks if an automatic. Pretty much everything. Have fun!

Don't waste your money on the Morosos, unless you want to cut them. They will not fit in that car, and it's not worth your life trying. Take it from someone that has tried. I ended up with a Moog spring that Phil Mandella at PMR Racecars recommended. I think it had a 1400lb rating. Hope that helps, and if you went 12.60 already, it's not anywhere near "Stock" legal.

Yes, you will have to cut the Moroso springs more than likely. So what? If that is too much work then he might as well give up on building a Stocker right now. They work real well and don't cost a small fortune to buy.

No, it isnt near legal for class but I figure I can bracket
race it and get the suspension sorted.

It is a mild street engine,but I imagine there is .5 to .8
left in the suspension as it sits.I should be able to run
the 12.00 heads up index classes as we work on the
"legal" engine.
