  • The guy who owns the cream dream talked me into them. He ran them on version one of the car. I was going to do the original style.

    Are you going to minitub?

      • I emailed team z and we will see what they say to me. Im just going off what that dude said with his car. They where out of town when i ordered so i couldnt talk to dave.

        I know of two monts that run relocated uppers. The cream dream runs team z and that dookie brown sloppymechanics car matt built runs baseline relocated uppers.

        • That was quick. Here is what this guy there said haha. Im running stock rear springs and 275/60s btw


          If you are staying with an 8.8 and not going mini tub/coil overs, that is the best option you have. That should be exactly what you want.

          Thanks,

          • Have you tried talking to Baseline suspension?

            • I was going to buy his stuff since he is within a 2 hour drive. i asked if he could help me get it set up if i installed the parts and towed the car to his place. Offered to pay for his time and his reply was.

              I dont do set ups and basically no help besides some calculators.

              Thats why i went with teamz. More people run their stuff and dave and crew is always willing to answer my stupid questions so far.

                Cool! I jut have wolfe double adjustable uppers and single adjustable lowers. I cut the springs to try and make my lower bar level at ride height. I had one of those wolfe adjustable spring perch things on a mustang a while back that would give adjustment with stock location springs. Been thinking about putting it in this car if I ever get that far

                • Just remeber a fairmont rear spring is a higher rate than a mustang as well. A stock gt spring in our cars actually lowers them a little.

                      • Upr tourqe box kit
                        team z bump steer kit for inch shorter a arms
                        pair of 10 way strange rears
                        not in the picture is the plates wolfe sells for the lower portion on the tq box that makes it nice and flat.

                        I need to get to the metal yard and get the 2x2 for the subframes. I am just going to copy the team z ones.
                        I am getting stoked to finally have the damn chassis done and start saving for the trans.

                        • Not happy with the thread engagement on the bumpsteer kit, going to have them send me the longer and cut it if i have too.

                          I got the rest of the dash ripped out today, now i need to sit down and figure out exactly my plan. good news is a heater core replacement is easy as fuck. im going to keep the hvac box. only weighs 12 pounds.

                          • Why not a ford engine?

                            Also imo, that car is begging to be painted black. With a heavy gloss.

                            • I will never own a black car in my life again. Fuck that shit.

                              When i can afford to have it painted i was thinking that Subaru blue on the wrc cars, or a deep grey metalic, or white who knows haha.

                              • keep it OG

                                that car is too clean to go fucking it up... black would look like absolute shit due to the interior color.

                                a quality "high gloss" black color change will cost you as much as you've got in the car to date...

                                I'm not sure why you'd want anything but a "high gloss" paint job, but...
