Saved to watch later. I need the help. Lowering the control arm and a anti roll kit are in my future I see
Amazing you’re doing this with coil springs. I’m really close to my first outing with the 4gfox. I’ve scaled mine with the engine very far forward and a powerglide and it 2325 without fluids and 51% rear bias with me in it. I’m glad you posted this video so I have some real starting data since I’m gonna run it with coil springs initially.
Thanks for doing this video for me!! You answered all my questions. Thanks for the videos!!
No problem
Thanks for this video. You have a very clear way of explaining things.👍

Love the content. Especially the budget stock style stuff
Great detailed information. Thank you!
Thanks for all the info!
No problem👍🏼
Very nice car good job building it
This is awesome content !!
Thanks!

Black car looks good in the new garage!
😁yep
Upr adjustable spring perches for the rear work great for adjustment of the rear spring. That's what I run on my car
Yep that works too.
Kris the video helped me alot my fox has upr single adjust LCA and double UCA strange 10 ways the calculator says from my measurements that my anti squat is -33% and my instant center is around 100 is it ok to cut a coil from my eibach drag spring I the rear?
Yes you can. You can do a half coil and see what it looks like.
How do you like the Strange front struts..? Or have you since changed..? I have the 4cyl struts in the front of mine now but it hasn't seen the track yet nor has it been launched hard on the street. I am running the Team Z street beast set up in the rear with the relocated uppers, strange adj shocks and their drag springs. I really don't want to drop $1500 on drag struts. I seen Bilstein make a drag strut but I don't think it's adjustable.
Hey Kris,
I have the same exact welder and trigger switch you have, and I was wondering if you could give me some recommendations on the settings for the factory 18 gauge steel? I'm mostly butt welding. I'm trying to get the rust holes repaired.
If I remember right i set it to 1-30.
You want to control the front-end travel on the track, but you'll want every bit of it on the street or back half of the track.
I currently have the Team Z relocated upper control arm kit. Is there a difference between relocating the uppers vs relocating the lowers? Or does it give the same end result? I see more fast cars with relocated lowers.
Ideally you want to be able to move both but many have been plenty fast with the kit you have.
Do you need adjustable uppers for the pinion angle or gust lowers?
You can do just the lowers.
Random question... at what point should I consider a single beadlock rim. I'm aiming for 800-1000whp. I also plan to run 275/60r15 pro radials on a 10 inch rim, unless there is a good reason to use 12 inch rims. I have to decide before I shorten my axle.
I would at that power level. Wish I would have. 10 inch rim would be perfect.
Car still wants to squat more on passenger side. Even have more adjustments (clicks) on passenger than on driver. What else can I do? Thanks
Add preload to your anti roll. If you have one.
With your antisquat percentage and length, have you run into numbers that were too much or little, or too long or short?
I haven’t adjusted that drastically to run into issues. I really only lowered the rear of the lower control arm 1.5inches.
What size rear tire? Our setup is very similar but rear tires will rub on launch 28x10
275 60 15.
Do you recommend the ride height being the same front and back?
Yea you want to keep the car level for most situations. I know the no prep guys like the front higher. All depends on what you’re doing.
I assume you have coilovers in the front? What is the spring weight on front?
Good question. Yes they are 12inch 150#
Kris, it appears you still have the stock lower torque boxes, I assume they have been reinforced though, are they holding up or slowly destroying themselves. Are you planning to replace with aftermarket lower torque boxes, or do you plan to continue with what you have ?
Yea the lowers are stock. I might do the lowers one day but at this point it’s not necessary.
Thank you for the reply Kris, I really enjoy your videos and hope you continue with more, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Toronto area in Canada.

Thanks
👍🏼
Super light compared to all the tank cars rolling off the assembly lines today.
Kris, you set 1/2 turn preload as the car sits or with your weight in driver seat?
You want to do it with the driver in the seat.
@@fox-body ok so driver in the seat, neutral out the passenger side link and add 1/2 turn from there
Yep
Isn’t this the same theory as the old school Southside Machine bars which they still make.
Yes it is. Same concept.
Is this set up for a sticky track or no prep ?
Prepped track. No prep is way different.
Would you recommend adjusting pinion angle off of lower control, arms or upper? I only have 400 to the wheel but I’m still looking for my car to bite as hard as possible.
Usually uppers. You can adjust the lowers some to adjust pinion as long as your wheel stays centered in the wheel well.
@@fox-bodywhat is the need for lowering the lower control arms with the bracket you made then?
You lower the control arm to move the instant center further back.

@@fox-bodyawesome video, for lowers when you move them down do you need adjustable lower control arms?
is that a 28x10.5x15 and does it tuck just fine?
It’s a 275 pro radial. But it is close to a 28 10.5. It tucks good because I narrowed the rear about an inch.
@@fox-body What offset are you running on the rear wheel?
@@fox-body I just bought a new 9” for mine, and it’s also about an inch narrow on each side, so I am curious about wheel size. Did you mini tub? I haven’t, but I did just get a lip roller.
What size rear tire?
275 60 15
What size front tires?
26x4 15
@@fox-body Thanks!
Thats one reason ur having wheelie. Level ur lower 4 link bar to 1 degree or 0

thank you for not having a cowl hood...
🤣
Is there anyway I can bring my Fox body so you can set up the suspension 😂🤔
Lol. Just do what I showed ya and you’ll have lift of. 😁
Video starts at 6:36 :/

What front springs ( rate/length)
12 150
@@fox-body I appreciate it , if you don't mind divulging how much power does the car make
@@fox-bodywhat’s the spring rate in the rear?
@bradleyobrien7020 stock 4cyl springs with 1 coil cut of.
@@fox-body if I were to get QA1 single adjustable coilovers what would you recommend for spring rate?
