M4Mustang Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 So, I have been wanting to better my rear suspension and am thinking about buying one from Team Z, because I have heard great things about them. Only problem is that I am unsure which to go with. My car does not get driven all that often and will primarily be used for weekend use and I would like to take it to the drag strip and maybe the road course. Keep in mind that I do not know much about suspensions. I would like to get either the Team Z Street Beast with ARB or the Team Z Strip Series 1 kit. Another possible option would be to use Maximum Motorsports components. I see there are people running rear solid spherical bushings, too. I do not mind extra noise or a stiffer ride, too.Has anyone used either setup and if so, what do you think about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macunicorn Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Drag suspension is different from a handling package suspension. A great handling car will be decent on a drag strip over a car that is setup strictly for the strip.Personelly I run mostly Maximum Motorsport suspension parts.Here is a rear shot of my car currently.First off do you have the basics first being subframe connectors, lower control arms etc. Edited July 6, 2013 by Macunicorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4Mustang Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Although I want to do some auto-x events, I am more geared towards the Street Beast setup, because I prefer to drag race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTurbo 98 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I would call team z and talk to dave zimmerman. Just tell him what your goals are for your car and he'll recommend what's best for you. Team Z is top notch with quality and customer service.

rk122075 Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm the new guy here. I have a 1994 Mustang GT with a Vortech S-Trim. I have the Street Beast set up on this car. It's a GREAT kit. Sure its more money than some of the other kits on the market but Team Z is a great company to deal with as well. I'm up here in Ontario Canada and my friends performance shop installs quite a few of these kits. Combined with my Strange Adjustables and Eibach Sportlines.

itsblown93 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 The only hard part was getting the springs out and that wasn't to bad. Took us a little while to do one side got it figured out and them took us like 30-40 mins to do the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
