    Drag front suspension on the street.

    Who is doing something crazy with their fox like this? I have the front half of the eibach launch kit to install on my Capri. i have been hestitaing becasue I do drive this thing a lot.

    Anyone have experience with launch springs on the front of a driver?

    How about 90/10 or 70/30's on the street?

    How bad is it without a sway bar?

    Any impressions are appreciated. I'm going to try the springs, I think thats fine, but how far can I go with some of this other stuff???

    Here is what the notch has.

    90/10 fronts
    Ground Pounder springs front and rear
    Double Adjustable Steeda Uppers - rear
    UPR lowers
    LMM box reinforcements.

    The car is fine on the road. I have driven worn-out foxes with stock suspension. that handled worse. I drive the notch on the road a bunch. Do it, it wont be too bad.

    hey man the guy that owned your capri in Indiana called me and asked about your car if it was still around ,he heard I knew of it , I told him it was but now its FAST he was happy to hear its still alive. keep the sway bar its off the SVO donor if its still the same one . 90/10s sucked on my 84 stang notch turbo (also a transplant but from a 88 turbo t-bird). there was,nt enough weight for them to help much but your car is heavier than my notch so maybe they will help good luck .

    I think 90/10's would get really old on the interstate. As for the rest, i don't think you would regret it.

    Tell him to stop up the track someday and see it now. He might not recognize it, MAP changed a lot around when he had it, and I've changed a lot from when MAP had it. It is still all SVO underneath, but now 8.8 and aftermarkets arms. Front is still the heavy SVO stuff.
