New front suspension help!

Hey guys, I'm changing out my front suspension and had a few question I thought I'll ask before spending all my money. I have a BBF, should be some place in the 9's. It's a foxbody hatch. 25.4 certified cage

1. is it a big deal to go with chromoly over mild steal?

2. what spring rate should i pick?

3. what drop on the rack do i need 1 1/2 or 2 1/2? or can i just use them k-member spacers?

4. which k-member brand are you using??

5. all info welcomed

Thanks

im using a d and d k-member ( mild steel )with front and rear plates , 150lbs springs, strange adj. , upr camber plates and bump steer, flaming river rack ...with zero drop


i would run the upr c/m or the aje deal lots more room with these new updated k-members

The deal we put on the fox is a Team T we got from Jones, seems ok, I dont like how the lower arms are a 1/2" or so out further than stock.

bruno, with no drop are you using k-member spacers??

what oil pan are you using? I have the canton oil pan...

watch what package you get, you will need to watch front wheel back spacing, unless you like the front wheels sticking out past the wheel lip..... Also watch what brake package you use it can make the situation even worse.

no k-member spacers , and a custom pan from Lem Evans

ps i had the canton pan before and it worked fine with this same k-member

That's because everybody builds their fox K's to 87-93 GT specs. The 79-86 car's (all ex. SVO) and 87-93 4 banger cars are 1" narrower than the later GT's.

You mean Team Z? I saw Dave this weekend down in Georgia at the race.
I could have swore they was suppose to be the short a-arms.

my typing sucks, yes "Z", and they stick out. If I had caught it in advance I would have cut them down myself...............but it aint no biggie............

Go ask team Z. Hell he is the "MAN" for Fox mustangs. Hes down in the Detroit area somewhere by you. Shouldnt be hard to find.

He is in Taylor Michigan
