road race suspension

[86GT]

hey guys,

Just wanted to know what u would recommend for a road race suspension. As of no i got competition engineering adj shocks and 90/10 struts and eibach lowering springs, front and rear sway bars. but still get a lot of body roll, and also steering wheel is really loose it feels like im driving a lincoln any ideas how to stiffen up the suspension and the steering??

A new k member would probably help out some. Possibly some upgraded bushings? Did you fix the vibrations that you had a while back?

I got a qa1 tubular k member. The car is in pieces at the shop. After 2 days of trial and error we have eliminated the motor now gonna test clutch and flywheel

Ah I see, glad to hear you're making some headway on it at least.

Well I'll be going to the central NY one, that's going to Utica. That is if I get the heater core replaced successfully and have the interior pieces back in place. LOL!!

why not just go griggs if u have the money or maximum motorsports. Or even agent 47. They have kits for sale.

Thanks! I'm Josh.

My steering isn't that great either, it probably needs some front end parts like what maverick was suggesting. Don't you love having an older car that you gotta fix up to drive at least somewhat like today's cars. LOL, what a bunch of bs.
