Default special thanks to madman

guys if you have suspension your car but have not had the car scaled
if your in the south bring it to madman what a differance it has made on the street. the car responds so much better no wheel spin on the street. i mainly did it because i bracket race and want the suspension dead on. my car is full umi suspension with qa1's front and rear. he did crucify me foe still having a 10 bolt on the car so he convensed me to buy a 9in for the rear so that is my next project.
thanks again brian

If only it wasn't so far from Iowa to Louisiana!

I finally did listen and bought a set of the new AFCO 3870's for the front. Plan to do the same out back when I get to that part of the project. Go big or go home!

Cool, I'm a bracket man myself. I'm only 45 minutes from Baton Rouge. Does Thunder sell and install the 9 inch? I thought they only do the 12 bolts...

it involves seting the car on scales and balanceing weight transfer
adjusting and squaring alle adjustable angles. he even need to know how much i weighed and how much gas i run to be exact on the weight. when you look at my car now it sits a little higher withou me in it on the driver side but when i get in it it levels out. you can defently tell the differance.
