What spring?? for TA and panhard bar - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

CZERsMach1 · 09-14-2016, 05:00 PM

I installed both torque arm and panhard bar, its recommended to go with a higher rate spring. The springs i have now are garbage no name springs that cause the car to squat pretty bad. Let me know what spring you are using for this set up, and if you have pics that be even better!

if you got the stuff from MM I would email/call their tech line, theyre extemely knowledgeable and helpful

I did, i just wanted to get some feedback on someone that has already gone through this. And hope to get some pics of the stance with higher rate springs. they sent me the link to a chart but its hard to tell what is what because there is no name, just spring rate. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/te...r_susp_ta.aspx

I used the 42TA5 springs from Maximum Motorsports but I run 250 lb/in front coilovers. I am running a 295/45x18 rear tire so the gap is a little tight.

That looks GOOD! How does it handle with that setup? I will be getting a spring upfront. (coilovers are out of my price range right now) Do you have any more pictures. I figure i will have a bigger gap i have 315-35-17

I am running a full MM suspension and K. It is very smooth and predictable now. It goes nice and straight when I launch and it just eats up the corners.

Sorry for the poor quality pics, my old phone just doesn't work too well.

If you are using a conventional spring up front then the TA5 is for you. I also added some Eibach sway bars to get rid of the rest of the roll.

I was leaning towards that, so then what would you pair it with for the front?

I'm using the MM Road and Track.
