I can tell you that the lowering springs in the rear are doing you no favors as far as your sixty foot times go and neither are the comp engineering shocks but the springs way more you would probably be surprised how different the car would react with just a different spring on it. Now as far as the front end goes it sounds to me like you need to stiffen the compression and rebound up some. Do you know what your settings are on the front?

I know you've posted on the comp 3 way before saying you've had customer run them with good success. I wasn't able to find that info with a quick search but wasn't it in the 1.3's through the 60'. There's nothing wrong with buying good parts but in a lot of cases I see people spending the money on the wrong parts for what they are doing. The right suspension geometry will serve him far better than different shocks as you already said. Get that right then use the money saved for more power to fully utilize what he already has.

intrax springs are junk

Sail Hatan

yea I'm thinking at least stock rear springs, which I have. maybe matching vikings in the back. I saw a guy with a similar powered 6 speed car going 11.3 wish pulling the wheels a decent amount. no rear squat, gotta get that set up

Well not that my set up is great OR even drag specific but I run bmr springs with the yellow koni shocks stock rear sway and no sway bar in the front, short mwc torque arm. I’ve been 1.48 60’ 440hp m6. Car doesn’t lift OR squat at all. Just something to compare.

This lines up with my experience. I found a stiffer rear shock actually helped, which was why I recommended the crusaders over the warriors. I couldn't plant on soft, floppy shocks

Ride height should be 25 1/2" to 26" with 28" tire. On your relocate brackets put in the lower hole.



Here is the plot of my car. I had one for the long arm with relocate bracket. Will try to find it.



Four things to address:
* Rear shocks
* Ride height and spring rate.
* Instant center location.
*Rear sway bar.
