..it was the first time i went out on the autox course to test out my suspension setup since 2004 (been busy workin on the car, so that was my mission)...

so, my previous suspension mods were, when i won the ESP autox Class was:
- Bilstein Sport shocks/struts
- Eibach Pro Series Springs
- MM Caster/Camber plates
- MM 4pt kmember brace
- Steeda IRS bushing
- Kenny brown rear shock brace

Since then! i installed to the drivetrain/suspension:
- HANS Racecraft X-System Rollcage
- HANS Racecraft X-System 2" Rear Shock Tower brace
- HANS Racecraft Force Subframe Connectors
- MM Front Coilover kit with 355# springs
- MM 2003 cobra STB
- 03 Cobra IRS Brace
- FRPP 3.73 gears
- FRPP aluminum driveshaft
- FRPP cobra clutch

i can tell you the car felt ALOT better in the hard corners, and especially in the swooping ones where i can still give it gas in the turns. the rear end still felt a little soft, but thatll be fixed once i install the rear MM coilover kit i have at home this week. overall, the mods install gave me a positive outcome, and im happy with the direction the cars suspension is going in. The HANS Racecraft products REALLY helped in the progression of this cars suspension. they were the biggest factors on the improvements, cause we all know that our 1978 chassis needs all the strengthening and support possible. here are some pics for you guys....

Are you running a wheel spacer in the rear with those Y2K R's?
