Some suspension questions
Hi,
Im doing a build-up of my 81 Capri and I've got a few questions hopefully some of you could answer for me which are mainly suspension related.
Here's some things about it: Its got a '84 351w backed by a C4 trans.
I plan to run the oem bullitt wheels on it with the FMS C springs underneath. My plans are to basically have the car as a saturday night special, with most of its time on the street.
First question, Is there any real difference with running the 96+ spindles over the 94-95 ones? I know the track on the 96+ ones is something like 8mm wider on each side. Has anyone using these ran into rubbing while running a similar combo? (with the 96+ spindles)
Is there an advantage over running the 96+ over the 94-95 ones?
Also, Ive read from sources that the 1990 + K-frame is supposedly better for front end suspension geometry. Is there any truth to this and is it worth getting. Or is it a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and just run the one thats in my car now.
My real goal with it is to have something that is an overall good performer, a car that takes the turns just the same as it will stop and accelerate. Right now.. its gonna get up and go better than it will turn and stop.
thanks!
