PETEW Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 I am wondering when I put a V8 in the car will I have to put Coilovers on. I have KYB struts, and Suspension Tech. springs. The springs claims they are 15% stiffer with 1' drop. I plan on going to a 15" or 16" wheel with a 225/50 tire size(I thought I read here that would fit ok), once the V8 is in. Will this work with the stock suspension, or do I have to go to Coilovers. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 You don't need coilovers or camber plates. They're just nice to have. I think Mike kelly sells alternative suspension mods if you want some ability to tune the suspension. Brake mods would help. I think I'm gonna talk to Mike about those.

auxilary Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 coilovers aren't necessary, just if you want advanced options in the future. for a v8 swap, you'll just need to put stiffer springs in the front to compensate for the weight increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
