*bump* Anyone? Does anyone even know anyone running a trak-link and auto-x'ing it at a major level?

Thanks for the info. Which backspacing works with that setup? Since I've already done the '98 Cobra brakes, the Lincoln stuff is out of the question. Were you using the 5.95 BS? If so, the 6.42, while sometimes hard to find, might have worked with your combo. If I can't get 275s on the front...

Hrm, I thought they were only 3/4 inch longer, to match the wider rear width. I'm not opposed to relocating the mounting points, I've seen old auto-xers do it when they put thunderbird control arms on their fox bodies (iirc, they are identical to the 94-98 control arms, but I could be...

I thought with the 94-95 spindles and the 94-98 control arms, the camber problem is not an issue. I'll have to research this more, thanks for the heads up, but I really want the front and rear track widths to match. I'm hoping to avoid the steering rack limiters because I auto-x the car. I...

Thanks for the website link! I'd never heard about moving the fender like that, but that might be worth it for the clearance. Thanks! I have a tighter rack in the car, but I forget the ratio. Popped it in last year when rebuilding the car because a friend had it laying around. The 94-98...

I hope it's not a freeze plug, those are a nightmare to deal with. Rusted freezeplugs caused the death of my '89 5.0 after 160k miles. Double check that it's not the heater core. Those tend to go out as well. If you have a wet front passenger carpet, it's the heater core. Keep your fingers...

They are pretty frakkin' badass! When I auto-x'ed it for the first time like that last month, I was continually amazed at how late and hard I was braking, and how much better it responded to trail braking. The car seemed to squat and dig into the turns, as opposed to plowing, because the rear...

*nod* The 94-98 control arms are 3/4 inch longer on each side than fox stock. The 96+ spindles are an additional 8mm longer than stock, iirc. The 94-95 spindles are not longer, so with those and the 94-98 control arms, the front track width will match the rear track width. I'm hoping to do...

What year is your car? Also, did you swap to the 94-95 spindle and control arms? BTW, I have 245s, on the 17*8 99 GT wheels, on it now with no problems at all. I know people used to put 255/16s on fox bodies for SCCA Solo II ESP auto-xing with no problems. Perhaps you have the wrong...

So I recently swapped to the complete 98 Cobra disc setup, front and rear, on my 92 LX notch auto-x car (Texas A&M Sports Car Club for those of you in the SW region of the SCCA). BTW, it stops now! Amazing feeling, a fox body that actually stops. BTW, I have a 98 cobra parking brake handle for...

Alright, this question is for the fox-body auto-x'ing suspension gurus. Has anyone ever heard of anyone attempting to run the following setup: global west trak-link, panhard rod, removed upper rear control arms (or just one removed)? In all my years of auto-x'ing fox bodies, I'm not sure...
