can anyone tell me the best suspension set-up to run in a tx sedan for rallying. everything is standard at the moment except it runs pedders heavy duty front springs

paper mashay (speling) bushers, paper clips coiled up for springs and some inverted rubberbads for shocks

now Gene, you are just being a silly willy. everyone knows that paper mache will be too expensive...
I hear that Bielsteins are the go and that's all i know.

Yeah give the boys from Kings Springs a call for springs

and Quadrant Suspension a call in MElb RE Bilsteins that probably the best set up but remeber it gunna cost

i think from memory springs :-$400 for a set of 4
and shock :- $650-750 a set.

IT all depends on how much u want to spend and how long u want them to last

in my subaru i don't even have suspension - no springs or shocks! the car just sits on metal poles! well that's what it feels like anyway!

MAke sure you get tapered springs for the rear. A rally car will be bumping up and down a lot, if you get non tapered ones like Pedders, Lovells, they will pop out all the time, even on a goddamn road car, cos Geminis are so light int he rear. I know that King Springs are one manufacturer that make them, may be others.
