I did provide info. Previous owner tried something of the sort and ended up hugging the wall. So i'd have to agree with the others, that if the suspension components are there...they are probably there for a reason. It's just not the info ya wanted

You do need good front shocks, you don't need a front sway bar to go drag racing.

The problem is, you can do this and risk the safety of yourself and your car, but you have to think about the safety of the guy sittin in the lane next to you.. If you lose control of the car due to a quick fix on the shocks, then slam into the guy in the lane next to you, it's on your conscience. I wouldn't do it. If you need a set of shocks for the front, call me. I'll do everything in my power to get them to you on time. My number is 225-673-3533.

I tried the front shock drill mod when I was young and stupid on an old stang. I could get the front end off the ground by bliping the gas a few times. got a ticket, the cop said I was jumping around town like a frog.

I would advise against it.

We did it on a E/SA 340 Demon. Ran low 11's and worked just as good as the high $$$ shocks
