need help choosing suspension parts


Recommended Posts

hi guys,

well i'm almost done with my 500Z project and was wondering about the suspension....i know my car has lowering springs but not sure what type, my questions are:

1-what is the best shocks/struts set for drag racing and street at the same time???

2-how good are the M/Ts drag radials 235/60/15??

3-will 15*8 4.5 BS clear my suspension with no rubbing???

4-what else do i need to get good street/track traction?? knowing that it has 430+ hp with NOS???

 

thanks

4.5" will clear your STOCK suspension...I suggest going with coilovers so you have infinite spring choices..not 8-9 choices.

Those drag radials are pretty good...several people have used them but you will need to do some massaging on the stock fenders to get them not to rub the fender. I have 225/60r15 tires on my 15X8 4"BS and it rubbed pretty bad...that extra half inch of backspacing and rolling the inside edge of your stock flares should be enough to clear.

Shocks? Not really many struts made for Zs for drag racing. I guess illuminas are a good bet when set on soft (1 or 2).
