:Wouldn't stiffer front hold better...and softer rear drift more? I wish I knew more about suspension...
softer suspension allows more grip on cars with body flex. it also allows the tires to stay in the greatest amount of contact with the surface as possible.:Speaking of which, I need some help Nick. I can't even get on it in first gear without tire spin and ridiculous wheel hop. Specifically, what can I do with my suspension on a modest budget to eliminate that as best I can? I don't mind spending some cash, but I just plain can't afford tein coilovers or anything like that.
:I've searched some, the majority of the results have been bushings (aren't those a 20 hour install =/ ), stiffer shocks, and of course subframe spacers.
:Any help would be greatly appreciated.
:P.S. I'm ordering subframe spacers as soon as I can get ahold of Greg Dupree.
if bushings don't do the trick, try shocks.
the best #1 answer is a 4-link rear axle swap. (gm/chrysler/ford solid axle).
you can get an axle without limited slip and rear discs for about $500 off a junker.
limited slips are about $250-500.
4 linking the rear would run $400 in parts, and probably $500 in labor and 'customization'
springs would run about $200.
custom driveshaft = $200-400.
A budget of $2,000.oo would eliminate wheelhop, and you'd have a unique car.
IMHO.
