lifting the wheels off the ground? Dont know if this should be in the handling fourm or this one... but any ways.
My car has mods in sig and very soon i will be gitting a 4.10 and a set of pro stars with MT 275 street radials. I know i should take the lowering springs off and put a set of 6 cyl springs on. What else will I have to do to lift the wheels? skinnys,Tubelar K member, Relocate the battery, TQ arm, SFC, LCAs more power?

With an M6 and 4.10's in a stock rear the only thing you'll be lifting off the ground is your car when they put it on a tow truck to get it home.
Save the gear $$$ and put it twards a rear end.

Bye bye rearend!
And yes, why would you want to pull the fronts? Took me 3 runs to dial the suspension in to keep the fronts from lifting in my A4 on motor, but I finally got my 11.96!
You have "BMR Stuff" listed, kind of vague. So, get a set of nice shocks, QA1/Hal or AFCO, definately get the SFC before you twist the body beyond desire, and LCA's/Relocation Brackets wouldnt hurt any. If your BMR Stuff doesnt include an adjustable rear drag sway bar, might want to get an airbag for the LR.

Jen was lifting the fronts on her Z28 when it just had headers and a lid, but we did have a BMR X-Treme TQ arm and SFC, B&M TH400 with 4.33s. She could easily go 1.5s and 12.0s @ 110s. You need to lighten the front end up, we removed the front sway bar and alot of the interior pieces.

Going to QA-1 12-ways and front skinnies were the last mods I did to start getting the wheels off the ground at launch.
However, that's them working in conjunction with all the other suspension mods I have (which include V6 rear springs, adj. torque arm, etc. etc. etc. And the Super Street Fighter 3500 definitely plays a role as well.
