Help with suspension!!! So I purchased new Hoosier 29X10 drag slicks, thinking the car will hook with 100 shot and all it does is spin. I have a spohn adjustable torque arm, the one that goes to the tranny, set at -1.5 pinion angle. I also have the spohn 1 inch rear sway bar, which is keeping the car level when it launches. The shocks, struts and springs on the car are all stock. I'm running a 4.56 gear with a 700R4 that has the 3.06 first gear. I have the nitrous come in at 3800 and it helps, but the car gets sideways. The car swats down even on both sides, it just doesn't put the power to the ground. I run the tires at 13 psi, but it doesn't seem to help. What would help the car out the most, going to a 4.10 gear, or getting some trick shocks and struts?
First you dont want the car to squat. Second check the angle of your lower control arms on the rear. They should run up hill to the body at least 2 degrees. If the dont you need relocation bracket.http://www.madmanandcoracing.com/sho...spx?itemid=120
Third I would look at a good set of shocks. I carry the Strange for the lower budget or the AFCO for the higher. Give us a call and we can discuss some setups and options.

I checked the angle of the lower control arms and they are at 0 degrees. Looks like I'm going to need those brackets.
