bonefish Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 So...what do you have? What do you think of it? Post a pic if you can to show your drop! I have seen the FRPP ones. Look pretty good. Someone suggested Steeda.... Also..I understand I need to do a adjustable panhard bar...what do you have a recommend for that one?

Matts Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Steeda is good, but Griggs is better. No offense to anyone. As for springs I love Eibach and I have always put my trust in their products. FRPP I like their springs and dampers, but most people that have the GT500's like just the springs and go with Tokico D-Spec Shocks for a smoother ride. To prevent wheel hop I think once you lower your ride with new springs and shocks, I don't think you need a panhard bar. Anyone want to clarify on that one? Anyways, I don't have a GT 500, just repeating what I've been hearing at car shows, forum chat and at the race track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I like the Ford Racing springs - lowers rear by 1.5" and the front by 0.94" (with MM camber plates) at the wheel wells. Lowering the rear shifted my wheel out towards the drivers side; used a BMR adjustable panhard bar to bring it back centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A panhard rod is attached to one side of the frame and the opposite side of the differential, this keeps the differential centered under the cars body, problem with a panhard rod is the differential is actually traveling in an arc as is moves through the up and down range, so your wheels are not "squared" under different ride heights. The Watts Link allows the differential to move up and down and stay centered to the body of the car. Edit: this pix shows a panhard rod in the center.

Here's a picture of my car with the complete FRPP set-up with MM caster-camber plates. These pictures show a Saleen Watts Link. Sorry for the dirt, she's not a grarage queen (no offense intented to anyone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
