this string has taken on a totally different life of its own since i
originally asked about my new tr6 suspension which is in boxes waiting
for me to get the time to install it. i'm still curious, so will try
again.
what kind of ride/handling can i expect from the following setup:
-- "rally" grade TRF springs all around
-- HD Apple rear shocks
-- stock front shocks
-- hard rubber TRF rear arm bushings
-- new rear shock links with nylatron bushings
-- all nylatron on the front upper and lower a-arms
-- urethane on the front sway arm
-- nylatron bushings on new front sway arm links
how might a 76 tr6 handle with these mods? my goal is crisper cornering
and elimination of rear end sag without giving up shock absorption
altogether.
on a scale from 1 to 10, how do you think it will handle? (1 being an 67
impala and 10 being a bmw 540--remember, i'm not expecting a campaign car)
same question on ride comfort (1 being the impala and 10 being a brick)
any thoughts/experience would be appreciated before my plans are cast in
concrete.
thanks!
ian
