Suspension time

[My Cobra]

Well guys my car is gone for paint. I am going to look in to some suspension. So far my car has the hothkis ( Sp?) front suspension ( Shocks, caster camber plates ) It also has BBK springs not sure which ones but they are blue. It also has some blue rear shocks. This is not a car i drive a lot. I am looking for something that will hook up pretty well with out costing me a ton of cash. So what would be the best idea here is what i was thinking. Please keep in mind i am putting together my 331 with a single turbo set up. It will be a mild street car when i am done but for now it has a fresh 302.

Upper and lower adj. in the rear
subframe connectors
8 point cage
I am going to do the 5 lug swap down the road

Does it matter what motor mounts i go with i got some new basic ones?
What other bushings do i need to change out ?
Thoughts on the hothkis stuff?

That 89 hatch I had had drag springs in the rear and **** would that thing hook. With the drag radials it would take a 2500 clutch drop with little to no spinning at all. And remember it was super charged.

Eibach if Im not mistaken. Only complaint I had about them is they make the ass sit a little lower than the front.

baselinesuspensions, rear suspension kit with some quality lower arms. Thats what I'm swapping out my UPR adjustable stuff for...

Adjustable uppers lowers and shocks front and rear.if you can afford it go with the qa1 shocks but if not the lakewood 90/10 and 50/50 work pretty good.for a street car i would run poly bushings in the uppers and poly motor mounts.as far as a cage it depends on what you want.if you are doing it your self i suggest the wolf but there again if money is an issue go with the s&w cage.if you want custom give me a call.as far as suspension i like the upr stuff.it's great quality and chrome-moly.there is alot of stock suspension cars out there running low 5's and high 4's on this stuff.give me a call if i can help ya.thanks trai 864-993-6956

the hotchkins stuff you have in the front is fine, its a good start.

here's some other things to consider
-energy suspension motor and trans mounts
-baseline suspension upper control arms are the best, but if you dont race that much some steeda double adjustable uppers will be fine.
-lower control arms - steeda, MM, UPR all have good stuff
-strange 10 way adjustable shocks and struts. this way you can dial in your suspension. its not a daily driver, so these are perfect!
-weld / re-inforce your torque boxes - uppers and lowers. trust me, you dont want them ripping and destroying the chassis.

do you have the rear built?
whatcha using for a trans?

a 331 with a turbo is going to lay a hurtin on the rest of the drivetrain if its not ready for it!
