Default shocks?? 60'

could new shocks change what kind of 60' times i get. I am not getting the 60's like i did a year ago and wondering if something on my suspension wore out and wont sag anymore.

dang a bad front spring affected you that much? another told me about bad bushings affecting his 60' times also. I couldn't get below a 2.3 and i was constantly getting 2.5. Last year i was consistent 2.3 with some 2.1's. anything i can check for to see what is bad?

Wow you could damned near idle off the line and cut a 2.4 My big "issue" was my tires. What does the rest for your susp. setup consist of?

120 k miles stock suspension. and i basically had to idle off the line to get it not to spin. and it would bog of course when i left real easy. Like I said I'm just wondering if anyone has seen dramatic improvmeents in 60' times after replacing something minor on there suspension components.

A tire would be the most dramatic change as far as traction goes.
