Next suspension mod, ordering next week.
Next suspension mod, ordering next week. Well I have decided to stay on a radial(275/60/15) instead of going to a slick. All of my current mods are in my sig. I have talked to a couple different sponsors and shops about which would make the biggest difference for traction and get different answers, I just want to get what will work the best because I am ordering next week. The choice is between front DA shocks and springs, rear DA shocks, or a drag bar. I still have stock shocks and springs, I cant afford to put DA shocks on all four corners. Thanks for the help and advise guys. Just a little more info about the car, running a 150 shot progressed. Best time is a 6.87@100mph 1/8th with a 1.57 60'.
Yeah I'm going back and forth between Strange shocks and Afco's, I will probably just spend the extra buck to get the Afco's. I'm just not sure if I should do the fronts or rears first. A couple people have told me the front shocks will have the greatest impact, but one of the sponsors on here told me to put the rear shocks on first. As far as the drag bar, when I can get the car to hook up it pulls both the wheels up and stays strait. I'm not sure if a drag bar will help me get traction or not, I thought it was to keep the car from twisting.
Yeah I have been talking to him, thats who I got my rear end and suspension from, great guys over there! You said people were cutting 1.3's with strange single adjustables, were they on a slick or a radial?

Yeah the shop that tunes my car keeps telling me to stay with the radial because its a little faster, its just a pain to get it to hook and not as consistent. I can get front DA Afco shocks and springs for $700. Or I can get the Strange SA shocks and springs, and the comp eng. in the back for about $500. It would be nice to save some money, but I dont mind spending the extra buck to get something that I know will work.

Verdad Gallardo Yeah I came across a good deal on some nice heads, but before I add more power I need to get it to hook. So you would stay with strange instead of the afco's? I thought afco was/is the best shock. I mean if I can get it to work on the strange shocks I will just get them.
to be honest afco is better but not much better. i have seen several people switch from srtange to afco and not pick up anything and the ones that did improve only picked up
.001 to .005. the adjusments are finer on afco but i dont think it makes a differance unless you have a full on drag car with some stupid power.
the only thing im not sure about is the drag bar, i have talked to several people that say it made the biggest change out of everything. i thought it was to stop twist only also, but they said they can dial in the suspension better by setting preload on the rear tires and so on.... so maybe get strange shocks in the front and comp 3-way in the rear (if they dont work you can get $80 back out of them) then use the extra money for a drag bar.
