How much will these mods improve my 60ft? I am looking to improve my times with suspension mods. Currently I have had a best of 2.07 60ft, but sometimes run in the 2.2s. I will eventually get a converter (2800 or so), but I was wondering how much the following stuff would help me, if at all:
1) LCAs
2) Adj. Panhard Rod
3) Adj. Torque Arm
4) Subframe Connectors
I run on street tires(BFG KDWs), might occasionally borrow some ET streets, but mostly street tires. The car only has minor mods (lid, exhaust, etc.) with 3.23s. Any info or results would be appreciated.

Re: How much will these mods improve my 60ft? All of those Suspension parts combined won't even come close to the results that good tire (and a converter) will give you. There are A-4 guys with COMPLETELY STOCK suspension cutting low 1.6's. My advice....save your money for the converter and some tires. Leave the suspension alone for a while.

TIRES...thats the whole key to a good 60'...TIRES...want a GREAT 60? Get a good converter and match it to the tires...Thats all there is to it.
BTW, completely stock suspension times were 1.51 in the 60'. Get It Right! (JK!)
Good luck fellas!
