1badeagle Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I recently bought a 87 fox body that has a ls1 in it. It has tubular k member, coilovers, manual steering and no sway bars front or rear. Under heavy acceleration it is very light under the front end. Almost scary squirelly. The steering is tight and responsive,but it pulls hard and make the experience a bit sketchy. What do you think is causing this? The lack of sway bars?

Cordell Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Willing to bet its a combo of no sway bars, alignment, and lightweight springs since it was likely set up to drag race. Any specifics on the parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboNova Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Put it on alignment rack and look into specs. Over 1000hp here. Manual steering and no sway bars and not alot to the front end weight more than yours except iron block and turbo setup. Steering is smooth and straight under accel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badeagle Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Not sure on the spring rate. The car still sits stock height. It's a really light bar. Glass hood and trunk. It's a notch back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Nick Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Make a phone call to team z motorsports they should be able to point you in the right direction as to what set up you need and what to do to refine what you have.
