So I got all the MM stuff for the front and #275 springs. Now for the IRS install (from a 03 Termi). So far, it's suggested to get the full tilt boogie bushing kit and a means to strengthen the diff cover. Now a few questions or comments.
- I don't want to install this and get massif wheel-hop lol I'm hoping the bushings will help. I do like to act stupid (in Mexico) in this car.
Will the complete Full Tilt Boogie kit and a decent tires, typically see no wheel hop. In a 5.0 / T5 Fox, you may not need their dropped rear mount to correct pinion angle. Well worth trying bushings in your stock one first.
- Is the steeda reinforcement enough to strengthen the diff? I don't think I'm producing enough power to really hurt anything (maybe 320-350 at the motor, TOPS) and won't be using any sticky tires.
Assume you mean Steeda diff brace, quality piece that will keep everything in one piece.
- I can simply use the fox yoke in the diff so I can keep my alu. drive shaft untouched?
- I got the MM coilover kit (thanks Rick) but still a tad unsure about spring rate to get. It's a fox which probably weighs around 3000 pounds or less (factory delete car and alu heads and such). Not a drag race car at all, spirited driving and hopefully start taking it to road course events. So I need it to be somewhat usable on bumpy roads.
Shoot Suki or Majid a pm n ask what they ended up with.
- I got to reinforce the strut towers in back with some custom bracing, looking forward to that should be fun.
Done it for a few guys on here, works extremely well to tighten up the rear chassis.
- Where can I find Cobra tails? It seems I need to buy the full cat-back to gain access to the tails which sucks.
