Default 9 second suspension??

what are you guys running for rear suspension to run 9's??? the stock suspension seems like it can definately be improved on so that lower powered cars can runs better times. such as myself im running a stock ls1 and boxed lower control arms and relocation brakets and my slicks just dont hook because I dont have any weight transfer what will help ??

My rear suspension (last year-some with carry over to this year, but not all). Best times last year is in signature.

ManMan adjustable LCA
Wolfe Rear Sway bar
Custom Excessive AutoSports TQ arm
QA1 front and rear shocks
BMR relocation brackets
Sub-frame connectors
Adjustable PHR

NO front sway bar. IMO one of the keys to good weight transfer is to have the car 4-cornered for weight. Mine last year sat at something like 53%, 47% rear.

You'll need to test your shock setting. No set rule, but I have QA1 front and rear, set 3 front and 6 rear. Change your tire pressure. Don't run small-*** slick on a high power engine - it'll just blow them away.
