Anyone looked at this site for parts?
Made me want!

That's wher Nathan got his 3-link set-up for his '96 Cobra. I'm sure he'll chime in on this thread. From what I remember, he was pretty happy with their stuff.

Ahh yes, EvM. You can't go wrong with anything from EvM. Great service too, although I can't say they are any better than Maximum Motorsports. Both have their strong points and it all boils down to what you want because both companies products WORK!

If you are interested to see what one of their Tri-Link setups look like, here is a thread detailing my install. (link) (http://www.streetstangs.net/showthread.php?t=280) I think I had #3 or 4 in the wild so I had your normal "new production" issues. Although I can report that the Tri-Link has stood up to some heavy Daily Driver (16,000 miles per year) and Autocross on R compounds action. It is a good quality part!

Just what I wanted to know. That was a great install you did on the 3 link.
Thinkin twice about my traclink now.

Global West or KB Traclink?

[SvoBrown]

Global west. Got it for a song a few months ago. Still in mint shape just need to put it in.

I order the rear control arms with spherical end so in a few weeks I will let you know how they do. $404 with shipping. Ouch!

[matthew436]

How much do those control arms from EVM weigh? I was thinking about MM control arms with the spherical bearings but I would have buy there sway bar kit. With EVM I could you my stock control arms. But the EVM's are 400 bucks and MM's are 200 bucks. Would I need a sway bar if I had a Tri Link and Watt's Link?

[SvoBrown]

I'll check them out next week at work. I still have mine in the box so its easy to do. Very beefey! I'll send you some close pics if you like. Just pm me your email.

Good question on the sway bar. I say yes you do. I have been wrong before tho.

[NightHawk756]

Also, if anyone's interested, Fays2 was there showing off their Watt's link. It's a quality piece, very beefy and nice technology. I'm thinking about one myself. ;) Just another option...

A word of warning:

EvM's Watts-Link and Maximum Motorsports Coil-Over kits have an major incompatability in the mounting locations. There is a thread over at CC.com detailing the issue. Just a heads up for people who already have coil-overs.

[matthew436]

what about griggs coilover kits? any compatiblity problems? Would I even notice the difference between the panhard bar and the watts link on the street?

Don't know, I've never used their products.

No, if you drive within legal reason.

[matthew436]

What do you consider within reason:D jk

[FastRedPonyCar]

I had their V brace (mounts just in front of the radiator) on my GT and for such a small and insignificant pieces of metal, it made a very noticable difference. The front of the car felt like it had a little less give to it going through turns.

[matthew436]

Really. Well I just order front coil overs from MM but still hesitate about the rear suspension? I really like the Tri-Link and I will probably go with that but the watts link and not being able to mount MM's rear coil-overs is a little troubling sense that's what I was going use. I might just get the MM panhard bar and EVM's TriLink with 225 or 250 rear coilover springs and 325 or 350 front coil over spings.

[Sendero]

Minimum 350 Front / 225 Rear Maximum

Anything above 225#'s in the rear with their "Sport" valved Bilsteins and it will "pogo" over bridge seams. You can't go wrong with the Tri-Link/MM PHB combination. I have it on my car and the only complaint is my 315 wide tires rub the fenderwell at full compression.

[matthew436]

I have Bilstein heavy duty's up front. Is this a problem?

Should I replace them for sports? What's the real difference?

From MM? Are they coil-overs?

The only difference between the shocks is valving. The "heavier" shocks/struts are for springs with a high rate. Because the larger springs can exert a greater amount of pressure you'll need a shock that can control the jounce and rebound of the suspension.

[matthew436]

The shocks are just the regular heavy duty's not MM sports. I ordered 350 spring rate and will use 250 spring rate for the rear. I called and talked with MM. I love those guys, they are so knowledgable.
