Default What kind of 60 foots are you lowered guys running?

Do you think its possible for me to get in the 1.5's?

I dropped my car and inch around with BMR springs but I have HAL shocks so I can adjust the rebound so the front can come up.

Just curious. i was doing 1.61's on just a set of lca's and 17 in BFG drag radials.

Im glad to see a 1.5-1.6' short time is possible, while being lowered..I haven't been able to cut lower than a 1.73' with my "unit."...and I've got all suspension mods, but adj. shocks.

I'll be happy with a low 1.5. I need to get some skinnies in the front and some subframe connectors. I'm on the stock rear and trans right now so until I secure a new position I gotta hold off beating on my car, lol.

My car is lowered front and back. I've gone 1.57 on 8" wide Hoosier Quick Time Pro's mounted on salad shooters and 1.59 on MT Street Radials mounted on Bogarts. I'm looking for much quicker once I finally get some real weight off the car.

I did the rear swap this spring, so hopefully this year my 60' will drop.

I've been 1.43 with my Hypercoil springs and QA1 shocks combo, that was on 15" M/T radials. Best on 17" nittos was 1.60, still had a front sway bar and was heavier up front back then.

amazingly, I cut a 1.59 once when I was lowered with Eibach Pro-kit springs.

I was running a 27" tire, 4.33 gears, launching around 5500rpm. Unfortunately, the fender lip wasnt rolled and it was cutting into my QTPs, so I had to un-lower it.

Edit: I was on stock shocks as well. Funny thing is, Im running full drag slicks, QA1 shocks on front AND rear, and 275lb springs on the front....and still havent been able to duplicate the 1.59
