another testimonial on GTV suspensions
To the poster regarding "upgrading" GTV suspensions, I agree with Bob Brady.
I never ran a design of experiment matrix on my handling, with tires as one
of the variables, as Bob did (see Bob, not really a flame, a sort of
complement, yea, that's it!).
Our '69 has the Ward and Dean springs and rear bar, all new rubber suspension
fittings, red Koni's, adjustable upper a-arms, 14x6 Minilites, 205/60 AVSi
tires, and a limited slip from a '73. I am not much of a driver, but I've
never broken the car loose with this set up. I tend to get wedged against the
door or something.
I did get a nice four wheel drift going before I had the adjustable a-arms or
the 205/60 tires, but not since. For this car, I am the weakest link, not the
car. Now if that isn't an invite for some insults, I don't know what is ...
start flaming away!
