Show your stance (round 2)

Took a few more pics from a different location.  It doesn’t look quite as low in the rear as in the prior pic.

first off, I'm so glad this website is still here!

anyone running the 19in snowflake wheels from Yearone?
my project has 5th gen brembos front and back, and wondering if anyone has the 19in snowflakes that is willing to take some rear measurments?

i miss the old site post.  i am in the final stages of my build (paint), and i think i have the ride height like i want it.  gonna shoe mine with 18's, and mostly decided on 18x9 or 9.5 R, 18x8 F & 27"Dia-R / 26.5"Dia-F.  would love to see 18's with all specs included, especially backspacing.  the only suspension modifications i have made are 2" front lowering springs, Hotchkis lowering springs out back, deleted the seat belt dimples, and rolled the rear fender lips.

You've seen the specs. I love the 69 and the stance is perfect.

Looking to upgrade my front tires and wheels on my 73 TA 455SD. I'm using PS2 335x17 wheels and tires on the tubbed rear.
Thinking about trying PS2 275's on 9.5" rims on the front end.
Has anyone tried 275's front tires on a 73 TA with good results? The control arms are Detroit Speed.
Thanks,
darrylta

Using rear ACDelco shocks. Tires are 225/70 & 275/60.

PTFB GT kit front and back

Nice, the PTFB GT definitely has a consistent ride height.  Yours looks exactly like mine.  I wish it had a tad more rear rake, but I'm not not going to fiddle with it any further as it rides nicely.

I actually think the stance is perfect, my mufflers however disagree.  Rather than change the stance I will probably order a muffler to go back into the stock location

100% agreed on the muffler comment.  I am running the dual muffler setup from my LS3 and it's a nightmare sometimes over speed bumps - for both my cats & the mufflers.  I think I should've stuck with the transverse muffler setup too. 

[FormTA]

I went with the transverse muffler on my car amd I too have the PTFB GT rear springs buy Hotkis 2" drop coils. My pipe clamps sometimes drag on speed bumps but that is about it. I did make my own rear shackles that are about an inch longer that gives me about 1/2" or so more rear height.

I have to ask for those who have a good riding rear end (no pun intended lol) what’s your setup? I did install new shocks on all 4 corners but my rear end seems so bouncy, mainly on the e-way. I recall from my Jeel days, YJs (square headlights) rode awful and were a 4 corner leave spring setup so is that just the nature of these light rear ends with leafs or is there room for improvement?

I have the PTFB GT kit as mentioned above combined with Viking Double Adjustable shocks front and rear.  I really like the shocks as you can dial in the ride and handling settings.  I haven’t changed the settings in the past 5 years since I found one combo that I liked.  I do also have PTFB subframe connectors and sway bars.  Overall I’m happy and the parts have had absolutely zero issues.  Dave the owner at PTFB has been super helpful as well over the years.

The rear end is not bouncy at all.  Handles like a sports car should, even though it’s more of an old school setup with coil springs upfront and leaf springs on the rear.

I second this.  Mine is a bit stiffer ride as I have the subframe connectors and solid body bushings.  I bought my kit years ago so I am unsure what shocks I have.

I think the key is the viking double adjustable shocks. The problem is I don't want to pony up the cash for them. I spoke with Tom (has the TA that got hit by a jeep) over the years and he was trying a few different shocks and had found a set of air shocks that he liked. I have bought those same ones. I just haven't installed them yet....

Well when you do let me know what you think. I don’t have the budget for vikings either. Maybe sometime you’ll have to ride in my car and tell me how it compares to yours

Nice cars and well done on the suspensions.
