Attached is a good side shot of my SS. It will be changing a little soon - will be lowering the *** end down to match the front.

What I have noticed at least from my personal experiences is that the lower the nose is, the more forward you are putting the IC. So what I did is I raised the ride height to shift the IC towards the rear. IMO with the ride height too low you waist time shifting the load to the rear and during that time, tire spin could occur. I raised my ride height about 3/4-1" higher. -Mark

Yep....run QA1 in front - but the back are NOT coilovers -- QA1 shock with stock (cut) SS springs in the rear.

Cyrus love the way your car set-up.

Kinda get an idea from the video. I have the rear spring isolaters out, and insulated the spring with some fuel tubing, and the front is lowered about an inch and a half to 2 inches, somewhere around there. Don't listen to my camera man.... he gets a little over excited sometimes LOL.
