full drag suspention guys in here
ok, my car is just no fun to drive anymore and i am wondering if something is setup wrong or if its just the way its gonna be. i changed over to my street tires yesterday and took it out for a drive, and it just wasnt what the car used to be.
i have no rubber or poly anywhere......
spohn race tq arm (solid ends)
madman lca's (solid ends)
madman phr (solid ends)
bmr extreme drag sway bar (solid ends)
moser 9 inch with a locker
qa1 shocks
i drive it around and at low speeds if i hit bumps, it sounds like its about to fall apart and something is broken.
did i go too far on my setup?? could there be something wrong? should i be able to turn the lca's at all?

you'll get used to it. not something i'd want to deal with on a daily driver so I'm glad mine is just a toy.
its the price we pay for not breaking at the track.

thats a good analogy of what it sounds like. my wife thinks its broken every time she rides in it. i get the whole "i thought you just paid to get that fixed!"

Hmm..
I have full drag suspensionon my car..
!Front Sway Bar, BMR K-member, BMR Lower A-Arm, BMR Boxed Sub Frames, LG HD Torque Arm, Madman LCA's, Madman PHR, Wolfe Anti-Roll Bar, QA1 Rear Drag Springs, QA1 Shocks on all corners and a Moser 12 bolt with a Spool.
My suspension makes no noise at all. I mean my exhaust is loud and all but there is no creaking or banging etc from my suspension. Its really no different than stock, I drove with this setup on the street for almost a year.

Hopefully these guys can give a few pointers on where to start.
BTW: Why a HEAVY *** 4L80E ? A TH-400 would be a better match for your car.
