suspention up grade need advice???

Hi guy's

I would appreciate your input on this one

What do you think would be the best set up for my 88 FC I have 17" wheels on it.
I want to lower the car and change the shocks while I am at it
The car will be street driven not to hard and will not be raced
So medum firm, good handling but not to hard of a drive is what I am looking for
I also want something that is nice looking since this car also goes to shows

Some ground-controls and KYBs would be ideal for what you're looking for I think. As big of a drop you want, as firm as you could want it for just spirited driving, and a **** turn away from cadillac ride quality. Sounds ideal for what you're wanting I think.

The AGX and GC setup is quite good. Find out what kind of pricing you can get in Canada. If not that then I would highly suggest the Tein Flex as it will give you even more adjustability and be an integrated unit as opposed to a made up coilover.

Beyond that if you just want a nice drop and ride quality I would highly recommend the Intrax spring and AGX setup. THis is a very very nice street setup. You do lose some performance but it will kill the stock handling.

Hey Rishie

After our talk I tought the JIC set up would be good for what I needed and talked about

Now I am confused

The JIC set up we talked about, the AGX and GC setup, the Tein Flex integrated unit as opposed to a made up coilover or the Intrax spring and AGX setup that you highly recommend.

Racing Beat springs and sway bars, a suitable damper set up. KYB's are good value from what I gather. Look at getting some DTSS (rear toe eliminator bushings) to shore everything up.
