Suspension Guys, put subframes on the car=hard as Heck to hook
99 Camaro cam car, bone stock suspension went 1.52. Put subframes on the car cause I don't want leaky t tops and this sucker is hard as **** to hook now, now this is on the street. I finally got it to hook somewhat but I still lightly hazed the tires and that was on 14psi...lol. I'm sure I could hook on the track but I need this baby to hook on the street as well. I have some lca's and lca relocation brackets that I just haven't put on yet. I'm on a 275 mt drag radial, looking for some 15x10 so I can run a 325. What should be next on my suspension list? Torque arm? Shocks...or???? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Like I said I hav ethe lca's and relocation brackets just have to throw them on. Gonna go with a torque arm next I believe. What do most people run as far as rear shocks? I've heard of people just going with the cheapies in the back and getting good results?

Don't forget the tiny bit of slop in the car might have been softening the hit.
As you add stuff, it get's stiffer & the power hit's the ground a little quicker & harder.
When you have eliminated all body flex, roll, slop, ect, it's going to be like pow, instead of blam.
Just a thought. Plus it's the street, maybe they didn't scrap & spray that day??

Thanks guys. Gforce put them on so they were done right. I know i will get the car to hook its just a matter of putting the pieces together in the right order. Ta will be next along with some rear shocks. On there umi relocation brackets should i use the bottom hole or the top hole? thanks again
