    Lest expensive set of monotube shocks/struts for 94GT?

    The only real factor that makes a shock or strut stiffer is the valving. Keep in mind that everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt because my daily driver car has 400 lb front coilovers so my idea of streetable is might be different from yours. My car had blown shocks and...

    Lest expensive set of monotube shocks/struts for 94GT?

    If you want a monotube, Bilstein is the only choice. Everything else you listed is a twin tube. I personally have had two sets of Bilsteins on my car. I replaced them with a fresh set when I got coilovers. Food for thought... if your name is an indication of your profession then hopefully...

    I'm trying to find out how to go fast as cheap as possible??

    Having owned a 90 GSX for a couple years I will say that while fast, I did struggle with reliability problems. I had a ton of blow by issues with that thing even with aftermarket rotating assembly. Perhaps you got a Wednesday car, but I did have some major issues trying to daily drive that...

    Removing smog pump

    I deleted mine with a 90.5 inch belt. I read all over that an 89.5 inch would fit, but it was not even about to happen even with the tensioner bottomed out. I used a 4060905 Goodyear gator back poly v belt since it is made in America. 4- Belt series: Poly V 06-6 ribs 0905- 90.5 inches

    Any difference between 94-04 Cobra and Mach 1 front calipers

    The calipers are not the same. 94-98 calipers were twin 38mm bore. 99+ are twin 40.5mm bore. Any brake kit you will buy new will be of the latter variety.

    North FL Area Bodyshops

    A girl backed into my passenger fender in a packing lot, so her insurance is paying to repair my car. That being said, I figure it is a good time to tend to some other cosmetic issues I do not care for on the car like removing the spoiler and fixing some dents. I was wondering if anyone could...

    People who have done a brake install, Help Me.

    I bought the Mach 1 brakes from buyfordracing. The lines were on back order when I got mine last year so I just took the $30 dollars off and had them send me rubber lines. Best 276 dollars I have spent on the car.

    Just got my Maximum Motorsports C/C plates...

    An important point of interest is that most alignment guys are uncomforable with making the caster equal on both sides as they feel you will need to fight against the crown of the road in daily driving. Just insist on having it equal, you will not have this problem.

    Help me build my Suspension $1500

    In the Bullitt suspension kit, the shocks are Tokico Premiums that are revalved for the spring combination so they are better than what you get in the MM box. To properly run a panhard bar you need a torque arm or third link which you will not have with the box. I realize Bimmertech is in...

    Anybody with a Torque Arm/ Panhard bar?

    Griggs makes their parts weigh as little as possible. Obviously they are to make a compromise in durability. You flat out must be willing to accept this compromise. Griggs will tell you that their parts are not intended to be used on the street, and they are not kidding. The Maximum stuff is...

    Who's had a hernia?

    My workout partner got one this past December doing squats. He started doing cardio after 5 days. We changed to routine up alittle for the first month before he started doing everything again. However, he was back in the gym in two weeks after the surgery.

    What size and brand of tires for an 18X10" wheel?

    Yeah, I am gonna beg to differ since that tire is more narrow than the wheel. If you measure a rim from lip to lip, they are about an inch and a half larger than the quoted size. This is because they are measure with respect to the bead. An 10 inch wheel is really about 11.6 inches wide...
