[QUOTE="MFE, post: 6468304, member: 36397"] Over the winter I finally put my track whore '92 coupe up on stands and changed out virtually everything underneath. Out went the stock front A-arms with Delrin bushings and 800-lb springs, the Global West rears with cut B springs, and in went a Maximum Motorsports K-member and front coilovers with #325 fronts, and a panhard bar, torque arm, adjustable rear LCA's with 350-lb rears, a Canton road race pan, and Mid-Continent Mustang brake ducts. Maiden voyage to MAM netted me a little under 2 second improvement on last years' tires and as the day came to an exhausting end (175 track miles later), I realize I'm on the upside of the learning curve, getting rid of old habits and learning how to trust what the car can do now. Meanwhile, I shared some track time with a couple other foxbodies. The maroon one in this vid has a torque arm and panhard bar (and drums!), but a fairly stock front end. Diiiiiiig that understeer! The blue one has a Cobra IRS in the rear and something like Kenny Brown front springs and c/c plates and so on. The owner was not the one driving in this vid though lol. I was pretty impressed with the behavior of the IRS foxbody and I thought the other one was a classic illustration of what happens when you "fix" the rear end of these cars without fixing the front end, as I almost did this winter.
