Go with Monroe sensatrac shocks, they will allow you to ride comfortably on the street, still do perfect drag launches, and handle like a porsche on the road course without having to do any research. Definitely sensatrac...

 

I will second the sensacra..sensatrac choice. Yeeeeah.

 

06GT300,

Can you pass the crack pipe? That must be some good stuff!

dieselcharged,

Stop being lazy and search, you might learn something in the process. I'll spoon feed you a bit. Go to Maximum Motorsports website and read ALOT.

DO THIS^^^^. Read the ENTIRE SITE. Then you can start to make informed decisions about your car. THAT will result in you getting what you want out of it, and not spending time and $$$ re-doing stuff.
Other companies sell parts but, nobody does a better job of explaining WHY and HOW their parts work.

FWIW I went with Bilstein HD's. And pretty much everything else they recommended.

 

I have been very, very, very happy with my Koni Yellows.

 

Does the car have the original spindles? If so, the performance strut choices are pretty much non-existent. Assuming stock braking, you also have 10" front discs and 9" rear drums. Not a lot of performance pads/shoes for those brakes either.

Short answer, we need more info on the car.

 

That post was dripping with sarcasm guys...likely because the original poster is apparently too lazy to educate himself.

 

Ohai guys, was gone reading real tech over at c-c.com, I'm back now.



This.

 

Drag Race AND Road Race on the same suspension?

There's not enough "middle" and too much compromise with that.

Make up your mind which direction you want to go.

In my experience go Koni Yellow (road race), set them up for 2" to the bump stop at ride height surrounded by a coil over.
Springs... you're on your own. Need way more information on your chassis and weighting.
and you're also going to need a really, really good sway bar.

 

Well for anyone new reading this trying to educate themselves and doesn't get lame sarcasm... Monroes are garbage. And Gabriels. And you can assume anything else they're pushing at autozone type stores are bs. I have an 88 asc Mclaren that had Monroes on it and it was a terribly rough ride. KYB AGX adjustable shocks and struts on the softest setting gave the car an amazingly smooth ride. Also adjusting them couldn't be easier with a small flathead screwdriver. I highly recommend them.
Alot of guys recommend various high end shocks that are not adjustable. Many of them are made to be very stiff for racing. Get yourself some high end adjustables so you can choose the softest setting for a smooth ride. I got my KYBs for a little over $400. Alot of people bash KYBs because they do make some more affordable options for around $200 that are not adjustable and may very well be garbage. But the AGX's are super nice. And about half the price of some of the other racing shocks that may not be adjustable

 

^^ Just for those actually using the search function, not the best advice.

 

I have bc racing coilovers, a lot of forum guys rag on them but they make and relabel for a bunch of the more common "high end" companies. For 900-1k you'd have more than you could've hoped for with their coilovers kits.

 

OP hasn't logged in in almost a year to read his 3½ year old thread. I'd say he's thrown in the towel at this point.

 

CRAP!! That's what I get for not checking the dates...

 

I guess my subtlety wasn't obvious enough to get the point across. Sensa-trac are crap ergo Sensacrap.

I don't "know" O6GT300 but I recognize the avatar picture from c-c.com so I know the guy has more sense than to seriously suggest buying Monroe Sensatrac shocks for a high performance application.

I was going along with things because I knew he was joking but I guess it's dangerous to do such things due to the varied knowledge of the forum posters.

To reiterate: Monroe Sensatrac shocks and struts are garbage for serious performance uses. DO NOT BUY THEM!

Shesh...

 

:idunno: But they were on sale!!!

 

The guy at Sears said they were the best shock for my Grand Marquis!

 

Has anyone tried the Viking Pro touring ones? Im asking personally and not trying to sell them fyi.
