RR Suspension question

I was wondering if anyone here had any knowledge of a good coilover spring/adjustable shock system for a Fox Body. I heard Maxim Motorsports was a good company but thats about all ive seen/heard

Thanks for the help
Donnie

Just checked it out, impressive although kinda pricey, but then again you get what you pay for.

Griggs and MM are pretty much comparable. (some people will argue that... <shrug>)

I had the MM coilovers on my 01 Cobra. I loved them. My ONLY complaint was that I got their kit with non-adjustable bilstein's rather than being patient and waiting for them to release their kit for the Koni D/A's.

That's not an issue for you as their fox stuff has been around for a long time.

I just ordered a set of Hal's and the 175# coilover setup. A little pricey at about $630 for the struts and spring kit but they're supposed to be very nice. I've got the Hal 12way adjustabless in the back with eibach drag springs.
I'll let you know by the middle of the week how I like 'em.

I have had great success w/ the QA1 aluminum bodied strut and coil over kit.Top quality and saves a good deal of weight as well.

Another question. Im looking to spend around 5-600 bucks on some suspension parts. Besides a coilover/adjustable shock setup, what are some other misc parts i should invest in. I dont need a sebring style performer, Just a nice tight road handling suspension to have some fun with

Thanks again

sub-frames, strut tower brace... and good urethane bushings should be on that list somewhere...

caster camber plates as well. Id go with the steeda steel upper control arms and there lower alumn ones myself. Id also get the offset front control arm bushings. They will push the front control arms a 1/4" forward
