You are right my suspension might be overkill, but my 2.5L turbo charged lima pinto motor will be motivating to the tune of near 500 wheel horsepower and wheel torque.

The plan is to start out with the car running gravel spec. Some of the roads in the Chicago area are less predictable than the country gravel road I grew up driving on.

The rate I am going to start out with is:
275 in/lbs front or 31 Nm I would have to double check with John but Valving in the bilstein inserts are: 330 /120 N
175 in/lbs rear or 20 Nm For the rear Valving is 260/90 N

I will probably drop the car about 25 -40 mm which is what it is sitting at now with KYB setup and aftermarket springs that came on it.

Front Brakes will be a JVAB Wilwood setup with 330 mm front rotors going to use the ABS master cylinder from a US spec scorpio but ABS will not be used on the car.
For the rear brakes if I have any issues I will have JVAB build me a rear setup.


I am going to have the sheet metal massaged to allow me to run 235 45 17s all around on 17 x 8 inch wheels with 30mm offset off a 1996 Mustang Cobra so will be converting the ford 5 lug bolt pattern.

My Car was built in 1984 so it is an early 1985 XR4Ti.

Here is a link to some of the pics of my existing stuff.

After all of the suspension and drivetrain is sorted it will receive some body enhancements and new paint.
