What are the type r's you are talking about? I plan on going all out on my M6 car and would like to know how to launch without tearing shit up when it comes back down....Thanks, Dave

Why don't you just give a complete run down of all the suspension items you have in detail ;)

I need more, I can't hook for shit :( Being poor and not having a beater car makes it harder too.

Nice picture Rodney, thats getting up there pretty good. My son has video of the finals but its from the rear, it dont look as impressive from the back. Its going to be fun 200lbs lighter, especially if you can catch some -1500' DA.

nice pic :) What solid rear bar did you go with? I am going with that exact same setup. HAL R series front and rear shocks with HAL front springs. (stock springs in the back)

I think its the light weight driver Mod doing it... :eyes: Between you and Jason you guys don't weigh as much as my right leg..Maybe I need you guys driving my car to get it to run faster.. :drive:

Perfect I am running all BMR gear now so that works :)

so you're running Hal's in the rear also? Think they're worth it? I have R's in the front, but still running stockers in the rear.


Aside from yanking the wheels harder..what was the improvement in 60ft?

Holy shit... I know what I'm going to ask Santa to bring me for Christmas now. That car was hauling ass at the shootout. I was pulling into the water box when you were leaving one time and I almost forgot to do my burnout because I was watching you launch, that SOB was hooking HARD.

whew, last one :jest: yea i went from a 1.48best to a 1.43best.

and this is just for you lynda ;)
BMR extreme drag sway bar
BMR adjustable torque arm
BMR relocation brackets
BMR tubular control arms
BMR SFC's
Hal R series front shocks and springs
Hal rear adjustables
stock rear springs

i was just learning how to tune the suspension and didnt really start getting it to hook until semifinals, im starting to figure it out a lil better now and i think with another dozen passes i can geter down in the 1.40 1.41 range, im only able to leave at 6000 6100 normally, im wanting to go from about 6600.

next mods are a BMR k-memeber and lower a-arms and a few other under the hood weight reductions and modifications.

they make two different front springs that im aware of, i have the ones with the lower spring rate and the r series shocks. crank up the shocks to like 8 and you can cruise around

Smokin,

what settings do you have the fronts and rears at the track?

Also would you recommend the spring you have now or the stiffer one? I'll be driving to and from the track and to car shows.

I only want to do this once. :)

2/4 was the wheelie setting but for my 1.43 60 i was at 3/5. i like 3 in the front cause it eliminates the bounce i get on 2 but still transfers good. and i have the hal springs that most dont have, the spring rate is different, but i think they are softer :confused: you could call thunder and ask about them, they are on thunders car and on my car so far that i know of.
