AR, good talking w/ you the other day but I'll answer this here for anyone else interested- 642 is a Moog part #, its actually CC642, its the highest spring rate they make for Berettas. Replacement for '92 up w/ the 3.1 and a/c Note that in their catalog on all listings it says "except GTZ"...

Barry, I could be wrong but I remember seeing a pic of the Eibachs and the top coils were spaced together really tight and then the rest looked like a stock spring- they'd spot that right away

AR, what year is your Beretta? He ran the last Halloween race at Mountain with the full size 8-cyls, shredded the right front from the middle out- thats why I figured I'd try to come up with something better for a front spring. The company that I contacted to do custom springs needed a 4 week turnar...

thanks!

I just bought a KYB GR-2 strut from an online parts place- its black w/ iirc a six digit part # starting w/ a 7. It does have a KYB sticker on it. Reason I ask is that I always knew the GR-2 line to be silver in color, also I just saw a pic of one online and it had the KYB part # and "KYB"...

just a little update- I wasnt able to do anything with the fronts, the strut has a weird design where the bottom pigtail is offset. I was going to use a 3.5 id spring but then the strut would be off center and wouldnt line up on top. I just found a company that makes custom coil springs so I'll see ...

Barry, thats exactly the measurements I needed, thank you very much!

MpB, I thought I read that the subframe brace didnt work on automatics? If it does, what does it look like and where does it bolt to?

we are limited to only using stock or stock replacement parts, so a factory strut brace would be legal, an aftermarket would not.

3X00, I remember seeing something on that somewhere, I think they had posted pics too MpB, I can use a stock front strut brace, supposedly a local yard has 2 '92 Sunbird converts so I'll check them out after the snow melts. and yet another question here- the plastic angle spacer that sits on top of ...

yes, just need to get those measurements first- I'm pretty sure the rear springs from a mid '70's GM rwd will work, they use a 5.5 i.d. spring w/ a small pigtail end. I've seen some pics of a front Beretta spring, its uses a larger pigtail. Looking around I've found that a front spring from a 2005-u...

iirc the hole was larger towards the front and he covered most of it w/ a piece of sheetmetal

because its on a Beretta!

it just depends on where to cut, you dont want to cut into the understructure and weaken the hood

Barry, that would be great- thanks!

as far as the side skirts go, you guys would know better than me- they were on the car when he bought it

MpB- the hoods are chained/bolted shut so that vent is just a place for the track crew to put a fire extingusher nozzle in if there is a underhood fire

will do, heres a photo from 9/09- black #8
