    Re: Help, need new shocks ASAP!

    Got everything installed, Since the ES bushings allow more movement of the A-arm in it's designed rotation I decided to add my ShelbyZ springs while I had everything apart. Not sure how much I like them. Let me just say that on a 27-2800lb car they are like having the 2801 Eibachs on my 3120lb ShelbyZ. The front SACHS seem be be keeping up with them though. They should since they're for an 89 Shelby Daytona. The air shocks on the back are just barely handling them. I might go back to the standard duty springs back there. Of course I didn't measure before but the HD springs do seem to have the car sit a bit higher than the SD springs.

    dialed the camber to -1.4 front and -0.8 back. Toe is at zero. have just pushed the car a little until things settle in and the soap on the tiress dry and the mold release wears off. But so far it handles well.

    The "super touring" are just re-named old "Super Gas" struts. I took the ST sticker off so you could see the Super Gas label
