tanner,
what psi are you running your tires at? im running 28x13.5's with just about the same suspention setup as most of these guys and i can seem to hook better than low 1.5's. but then again i have only had 1 day at a track rental to get the feel for the car. next time out will be with a th400 with a brake.

As has already been stated, the pics tell a couple of stories. For those who may not understand. I have included a pic of the one thing that really stood out for me.
It shows that the anti roll bar is simply floating around, there is nothing to hold it in place, which meand it is not doing its job. Think about it this way. If you pulled your bushing out of your front end, and drove you car around, you might notice the front end was a bit loose. In this case, it can make the anti-roll much less efective or optimal than it could be IMHO.

Tom, I have the same setup. AFCO's, BMR Swaybar, Spohn TQ Arm. My swaybar is dead level to the ground, no preload. You can strike a level across my back bumper every time and the bubble would be square to the car. I'd have to agree that the torque arm and lack of bushings are very suspect.
Front to back is a different story and I just need to keep tweaking the shocks until it stays down.

I would get an airbag in there ASAP
Taner has the best setup I have seen so far. All BMR gear AFAIK and his car hooks and goes straight. With the sixspeed launching on spray it is sick. 1.29 I think?
Good luck, with all the BMR gear and Airbag you should be 1.2's no problem Wade ran all BMR in the Z28 as well.
