suspension tips

[5.0saleen]

The suspension upgrade is good, but is there anychance that a small sway bar would improve handling. And is there any other suspension tips that any one has.

not entierly sure but i beleive that the front deck serves as a sway bar... i noticed this when i removed it thinking that it served no purpose.... so i put it back and noticed a diff in hadeling

The mono shock is horrible! That was the single worst mod I've ever done. It was like there were no springs. What I would suggest is to get some thick plastic, and make a bar that bolts up to the suspension points, and bolt in on on top of the shocks. It makes it almost like a live axle, and traction is greatly improved.

welll
they work for me :nod:
ive made four already for all my xmods and there fine you must have screwd up with em or somthin
what waz wrong with yours??
and you can add different springs to them :lol:

i JUST took the mono shocks off my 67 Camaro.... dont get me wrong they worked perfectly.... however im very new to xmods so imma try both ways.. but to recap i like the monoshock idea i just dont put the center pole throu the shock.... gives it more flex still rebounds perfectly

what the heck is a mono shock i first thought it was one shock for both wheels but something makes me think differently

It's 1 shock that is connected to where the 2 shocks usually connect to the A-arms.

wouldnt that make the suspension too soft.and amke the handling really sloppy, to get through a turn you want your suspension tight so theres not alot of body roll

Yeah, pretty much. The swaybar keeps the suspension stiff, yet also helps hooking up in a straight line.

i just put blue springs in

and i just thought of a briliant idea
you could double wrap the shocks
like put one shock inside the other and have two shocks in one
and double your stiff ness (if stiffness is what u want)

The softening of the suspension is why drifters like the monoshock ;) Put a red spring on there, and the body roll is visible, even at 20+ mph. Helps out a good bit with drifting.
