Default Car has been lowered...

When I got this car the previous owner had lowered it all the way around 1" with lowering springs. Will this hurt any traction? IMO I like the way it sits now, but yet its still a little too low. If I was more into the "show" side I'd leave it but since I like more "go" I'm wanting to raise it to stock height. But if traction is not a problem with it being lowered I'll leave it as it is.

traction shouldnt be an issue aslong as the pinion angle and everything is set up back to factory. as far as at the strip. itll hurt traction abit

This is how the car sits now..



Its looks ok, but I'm more about the traction than looking good . The car won't see much of the track but every now and then. It will be on the street 90% of the time.

Thumbs up Traction Question

Hello Blaine,
You shouldn't have any performance issues with the car being lowered, If it isn't up to your standards what you could do is look into a set of Lower Control Arm Relocation brackets what they do is allow you to move your lower rear control arms lower on the rear which allows you to put the power to the ground, there are two types weld on and bolt on. Just some food for thought!!!!!! If you have any other questions feel free to contact me I will be glad to help!
Thanks Again,
Brad
