Suspension tweaks to help with traction...

[bsgreenz]

Ok so before i put my car down for the winter i had installed a fuddle 3400 and was running a pair of M/T Bias plys at 16psi with a nice smokey and even on motor i couldn't get the car to hook.. The chassis has 150+ miles and stock suspension so i know the car is trying compisate and squat when it needs to stay pretty stiff and colapse the side walls to help put the tires to use, so my question is what shocks and springs can i put under her to stop the squat that wont break the bank.. I don't care to drop the car 2" cause it's not really a show car but wouldn't mind bringing her down an 1'' or so..

I've been told to take out my front sway bar end links to help weight transfer off the line but i don't like th idea of have a blow out at high speeds and the car not steering correctly..

Whats your current 60' and what's the car weigh? Be carefull not to over heat the tires that's a common mistake. You'll need to at least unhook and endlink form the front sway bar while at the track if you want the front suspension to work. You can always put it back in for the drive home.

I wish i could tell you my 60 and all that but i couldn't tell you since i didn't want to take it to the track till she can at least make an attempt to hook and get the suspension dialed close

I think your car would DEAD HOOK at the track with those tires Brock. Mine did..

I don't know man just watching you that night in "Mexico" and watching my car launch with the same tires in "Mexico" mine seemed to come off harder but thats probably because you had your two step at 3,000 and my car was flashing right around 3,400 and just killing the tires.. I guess there is only one way to tell though..

Ya mine was leaving like shit that night. Thats why I emphasized "at the track".

Looks like we both need new rear shocks at a minimum, and some more suspension goodies would be nice.
