V8 Suspension Help

[gretchen/jason]

So i stuffed a V8 into my z for fun even though i have tokico lowering progressive rate springs and struts to match , but yet stock sway bar id like to know where and if i can get stiffer springs to make it handle better .

 

i have fully adjustable suspension front and rear camber and all is there a good setting for camber i have . 30 neg in the front and . 50 neg in the rear to keep up with the 80 pound speaker box i have helps with off the line traction i must say .

 

Any advice is welcome .

How do you have fully adjustable suspension and still use the Tokico springs? As far as I know there are very few camber plates that work with stock diameter springs and those that do don't give much adjustment range. Are you using other methods to adjust caster/camber and ride height? If so what are they?

 

I used those springs and don't have enough travel in the front due to the extra weight of the V8. I'll probably switch to coil-overs sometime in the future, when I do I'll also add caster/camber plates and adjustable struts. I should have gone that way right from the start.

I bought fully adjustable controll arms from Arizona z car . Aluminum in the front chrome moly tube in the rear all with hind joints if i said it rite . The controll arms in the front allow for all adjustments caster camber etc . In the rear it sets toe and camber very nice product no need for those caster camber plates anymore and the arms for the front i believe cost me about 400$ same for the rear .

 

Go to http://www.arizonazcar.com and you can see what i have . So col overs are better ? I could do that i suppose and still keep my controll arms .
