94-95 Mustang stocker

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.

smracer2002,

A first name would help, it would the make the conversation a little more friendly, but I do understand if you wish to stay anonymous.

Jay is correct, and the morose springs will have to be cut, not a big deal at all. If you don't want to go that route, a set 4 cylinder fox body springs works great, front and rear. Just make sure you have a swaybar for the rear, very import to help stop the twisting. Good adjustable drag struts and shocks are also a plus.

My experience is the SN95 cars are very forgiving, having run one in super stock with mostly stock suspension components. I ran 11.00's with a trans brake and a small tire, and never had any issues.

Cutting springs COMPLETELY alters the spring rate making them STIFFER, not something that is desirable in a Stocker.
As with everything, do it right or keep it parked.
I agree with the rest of the posts. Work on getting the car to perfection, then ad a legal drive train.

My name is Chris,Ken and everyone else.

I have a rear sway bar a guy in Carolina built.
I also have one on my Granada wagon bracket car.
Believe it or not it is 1.625 diameter.It was built to see
if it would work instead of a body mounted bar.
It bolts in the original stock mounting location and works better
than I figured it would.

Eibach and UPR both offer a drag spring set that lots on NMRA
guys use and they seem to work well.The UPRs are built by Eibach
according to UPR.

Already have 15x4s and 15x10s with a 6.5 bs with 10x26s on it.
I know it will be a 9x28 or 9x30 when its time.

Does anyone here use the airbag in the right rear spring?

When I ran my car in Stock I used an airbag and crusher springs out of a 1976 Cougar. Keep in mind though I had a LOT of weight in the back to make 3300lbs. in N/SA.

Jeff, the problem with not cutting the springs is the front end of the car sits nosed up, a lot. I cut mine to get the ride height I wanted and never had any troubles. It had great 60' times (low 1.50's) and did big wheelies for a "N" car. C4 with a 2.92 low. 4.86 gear with Hoosier "short" radials.

I understand on the springs but if you want it right, you have to find a smaller wire diameter or maybe have some custom made (which is what I did; try finding AMC parts!). It is worth it.
