Need Help With Front End Suspension! - 8/25/2007 6:39:08 PM    Denny Carlton Posts: 326 Joined: 9/4/2006 Status: offline Hello, Folks! It's me again. I'm looking to make my front suspension match my rear. First of all, I have the D-spec shocks on my list. What else can I do to make the oversteering go away in the front of the car? Do you think I should get the GT front sway bar to match the rear bar that I have already?   Thanks for any help! _____________________________ V6-4.0-Auto-Airaid-Sct II-Jba header-FM|AT-PH|DS-US Gears 3.73&T-lok-Steeda LCA&Bracket-UCA-AdjPanBar&Brace-GT-R swaybar-D-Spec.-17x9Chrome bullitt-Nitto NT555-PowerSlot-HPS Hawk Post #: 1

Do you have Poly aftermarket LCA's? they also help reduce Oversteer. basically anything yo can do to the rear to stiffen it will cause the front to track better and vice versa.... < Message edited by billybix76 -- 8/30/2007 10:01:01 AM > _____________________________ - C&L CAI, Xcal2, bama 91R - Flowmaster AT, JBA pwrcables - MGW shifter, CHE KBrace & Limiters - RP fluids, Hellwig rear sway, shaftmaster 3.5 - 4 way Roush springs, J&M UCA/LCA's, T-lok, 3.73 - 17" bullits, 1/4 louvers, SS shorty headers (in reply to DelStang86) Post #: 4

I have a bad habit of resting my knee on the bottom of the steering wheel to steer on straightaways. Before the GT sway on the front, there was no way I could do that, it was all over the road. Once I changed to the GT, not a problem. Nice and tight now. _____________________________ (in reply to billybix76) Post #: 5

RE: Need Help With Front End Suspension! - 9/25/2007 11:34:38 AM    Sevalley   Posts: 111 Joined: 1/10/2006 Status: offline how much does installation of the dpsec shocks/struts cost? I see the front and rear combo available on ebay for about $500, but I am afraid that installation will run me another $500. Anyone have any idea? I didn't find the front GT sway bar to make a big difference. It was the rear GT sway install that made the huge difference. _____________________________ Sevalley 2006 Tungsten Grey V6 Ragtop | 5-speed | Billet Grill | Spoiler | Stripes | Tints | 18" Fanblades | 1.5" Drop | GT rear bumper | GT swaybars | Dual Magnaflows (in reply to Denny Carlton) Post #: 7
