Hi there "schicmig@aol.com"-
Am interested in your rear suspension set-up as you described the ride
as very
good.
I run a stock suspension set-up on my '61
Frog daily driver except for tube shocks all
around (GasAdjust KR2), 3/4 front bar
and panhard rod, utilizing 5.5" Westerns
on 175/70 T/A's. The ride is a little harsh
in the back and I've been thinking of different adjustable shocks to
"soften"
the rear ride.
Are Carrera's two-way (bounce
and rebound) and single adustable.
What setting are you running on your
Carrera's and what setting would you
recommend for normal street pavement?
Are you satisfied with the Carrera's in
all respects?
Cap'n. Bob

Subject: Re: [midgetsprite] Re: Bugeye Group..... Rear Suspension
I searched for poly rear bushings and came up empty. So I fashioned nylon
bushings for my '62 1/4 spring car, which improved handling, particularly
reducing bump steer by locating the axle. However, the improvement was short
lived. The stock radius arms were not up to the extra duty as they both
sheared during a parking lot autocross. Fun while it lasted! I installed
Winners Circle adjustable links with rod ends and was already running WC
Carrera adjustable shocks. Stock bump steer has returned, but will be
corrected with a minimania panhard bar. Overall ride is very good and both
kits were easy to install and fit pretty well.
