Previous setup was stock 10 bolt, 4.10 gears, KYB AGX Adjustables shocks, BMR 1" lowering springs on the front, stock rear springs w/ heater hose mod, factory rear sway bar, stock rear brakes w/ cross drilled slotted rotors. Best 60' was a 1.502 and never pulled the front wheels. Fastest pass was 11.202 with my car with that stuff still on it. Now I'm pulling the wheels every time!

Yes you can still use factory fuel tank with this setup. I like to drive my car on the street.

Here's my 10.98 timeslip! I didn't care about reaction time because it was test and tune and tried to launch it at the same RPM every time. I'm foot braking the car with no 2 step.

Car looks great coming off the line!
I've been thinking about that TRZ anti roll bar setup myself. Seems like its controlling your car very well

Thanks did you happen to see me race at the LS Fest? I see you are from Kentucky and wondered since you said my car looks great coming off the line.

Unfortunately I didn't make it to Ls fest this year. I live about 5 hours north east of bowling green

Can you tell me how the Top of the Shock mounts?

Does it use a Stud like the Factory Shock?

TIA

woah, that is a nice anti role bar and spring set up. I just have the wolfe so I am not sure if this would work on my car. I still have stock springs with afco da's. I know when I went down to baton rouge a couple years back mad man had me going 1.40's (in two-three passes)on 26" slicks t56 4.30 rear gear.

Anyone run this rear coil over with the UMI drag bar? do the springs around the shock clear the bar? I'm interested in this kit but not sure it will work with my antiroll bar.

Our drag bar clears our rear coilover kit, our kit places the shock in the same location as the Madman kit so it should clear just fine.

I hope that helps,
