Suspension upgrades on 87 3.2

mnmasotto · mnmasotto's Garage

I have a 1987 3.2 with 70K on the clock. I have new billstein Heave duties on the front and sports on the rear. All other suspen components are stock. Except I had the torsion bar braces re-welded. I have 6/7 Fuchs with New Conti sport 2'S. My main concern is corner role.
Thanks Mark

Alignment can fix that. Take it down and see how far out of spec it is.

Look up "elephant racing" on the internet. Chuck Moreland is a fellow Pelican and sells some of his suspension parts on Pelican parts.

If you want to go faster then upgrade your torsion and sway bars. The shocks are a good start, but after this long its time for some new bushings and such in the suspension at the same time you do T-bars.

If you need a good shop to do the work, TRE motorsports is one of the best and not far from where you live.

I wonder if you mean you had the sway bar brackets re-welded, which is a common failure.
Do you drive the street only? AX or DE?
You might want to consider adjustable sway bars for the body roll during cornering. Even with stock torsion bars, you will notice an big improvement.
