Default M6's that hook on the street

If there are any, LOL I would like to know what is working for you. I am getting ready to do some suspension upgrades and would like your input. Thanks

When I had my car on the street with SS wheels/315s and if we were on ET Streets it hooked up very well with the 4.11s.

Rod ended Spohn Adj TA (-2*), Rod ended LCA and PHR.

IT has not been on the street much with the 4.33s/spool but it seems to still bite pretty well.

I do not think most have such success as I have had, I wonder if the stock clutch slipped enough for it to hook. Dont know but it sure does work on the track (see sig)

Definately get some adjustable shocks like the QA1's, Comp Eng., etc.. A nice adjustable torque arm, some adjustable rear control arms, etc should do the job. And if you are running lowering springs chunk em in the garbage..
