want 9`sss

getting close, after looking at some suspension video frame by frame I decided on a wolfe drag anti roll bar, left tire rear is unloading/loading on the launch, kicks the car right while on the back tires and comes out of the groove for a split sec and then drops the front quick and just about wheelies again before the 60`. No issues once it`s on the ground down track is good now with some new balanced front tires and a alignment.
I`m also thinking of spohns rear coil overs for ease of ride hieght and spring rate changes...anyone running any of these parts? I`m sure the wolfe bar is a good piece, I just wish the spohn kit had a strange shock opton as I`m not a fan of the hal/qa1`s.

here`s how it leaves now on a 3600 pill.

Re: want 9`sss

car definitely has a slight lean, before you buy the anti-roll bar, try making the drivers side endlink 1/2" shorter on the rear sway bar with some poly endlinks, that solved my crooked launch and is a lot cheaper for 2 packs of poly endlinks than a wolfe roll bar.

Re: want 9`sss

my car goes straight as an arrow the first 50' or so until the fronts are on the ground, and then its all over the place. lol... it needs an alignment badly.
the wolfe bar has worked extremely well for me so far though, and i would for sure put it on your car.
