Any luck with minimal suspension for 60ft on 325/50/15 ET radials? I just got these tires and only have BMR lower control arms, BMR SFC, Alston Torque arm , and air bags. Will I have problems trying to pull sub 1.5 60fts?

So with stock shocks and springs I should have no problem hooking with these tires? I just read these posts about mad tire shake if my suspension is not dialed in.

How much power you making? Are you 4L60E or T400 (with a 'brake)?
I think you should do front and rear drag shocks, the advice I got to avoid the tire shake required that I make shock adjustments.

I made around 600rwhp on a 6 speed and now just put in T400 w/brake. Trying to see if I can get away with stock shocks all around. Need to make some passes and find out

Car will always work better with adjustable shocks up front.
I went 1.52-1.55 with stock shocks back in 2000-2001, so I think you can for sure get into the high 1.4 with stock ones but if you are trying to get into the low 1.4's and 1.3's you will want drag shocks so you can tune your suspension as much as possible.

A drag shock can be adjusted. You twist the adjuster ****. The QA1 R shocks for example have 12 settings, 0 = full soft/loose, and 12 = full stiff.
My reccollection is that stock shocks are like 50/50's, so I'd do the fronts first and the rears last. I would keep stock front and rear springs too if you are on a budget.
