Fp took a dump on you? Dropping the tank or trap dooring her?
You have adjustable front shocks.correct? The 17s are not helping, get a 15 inch by 10 inch rim in the rear. Your really gonna want a et drag if.you are a full weight car up front, you're going to have no weight transfer hardly lol

He's already got the trap door mod, shouldn't take him long at all to swap.

Do you still have heim joints in the torque arm mount? If you have heims on the part that mounts to the rearend and another set on the torque arm it creates a joint and can possibly cause some serious damage. I agree with the everybody else about lowering the LCA's. A taller bias ply tire on a 15x10 with 7.5 bs should help a ton, and the 1/2 inch narrower will make the tire clear the fender better.

Go to my project thread that I started a couple says ago, there's a few photos of my front suspension. That will.give you a good idea of a heim joint, its just a metal joint is all, there fast to.react but.wear faster.

If I were you I would switch to a 15 inch bias ply tire. I think you will see a huge difference right off the bat. That short sidewall radial tire is not helping especially with a stick.
