The most logical reason for this is it lost LCA ANGLE moving the instant center too far forward.

A tube chasiss car is sitting on the ground but has no problems hooking.


This is Rick Intrau's old car, it sits on the ground, notice how far the rear mount of the lower control arm is away from the rear end to give the angle back. This shoves the tire into the track.

Exactly. Easy fix if you can lower the rear of the control arm but I have relocation brackets installed ( I think they are BMR but cant recall ) and they dont allow enough arm drop. Hence why I am modding them to drop even lower by welding more plate around and adding a fourth hole. This way i can stay bitchin looking and maintain true street trim and still hook hard when i hit the track

actually my car sits lower with the cut stock springs and it was quicker. I know of another local that swapped out the eibach springs for cut stockers and his 60ed better and more consitant that way too. He also drilled another hole lower in his relocation brackets to get the LCA angle cause his car is very low

Yes I am about to do the same thing, But my tire bulge is in the way. I will have to make something like the above picture and attach it to my LCA relocation bracket to lower it down.

How many coils did you cut out of the front and back and what shocks are you running?

iTrader: (1)

don't remember how many. Stopped cutting when I got to the ride height I wanted.
Fronts are qa1's with 325lbs springs. rear shocks are tokico 5 ways

are they the R series or the regular 12 way adjustable.. i was looking into some QA1's with 300lb springs but im also on the factor WS6 wheels and a 26in DR

Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread. I got some good info for the car.

Would have liked to seen some more pics of all those bad lowered rides though.

I'm gonna bump this 4 year old thread for some more recent input. It interest me because I'm on DMS lowering springs, stock deCarbons LOL, and lca relocation brackets.
Best 60' on motor 1.66....I need to get that down.
Would some cut stockers be better? or pre1998 V6 springs? or...?

I did make new brackets and got the geometry sorted out but with sportlines there is just zilch for transfer, from a dig its a joke i blow off 2 gears worth of 275/40/17 et street MT DR's.

Best set up was stock V6 rear springs and low hole on the brackets. Works out to about 4 or 5 degrees down bubble on the rear arm and it was dead hooking with the same tires. Car needs coil overs now theres just no super low stock type spring im aware of that transfers worth a damn for drag racing.

My NA 350" goes mid 1.27s to low 1.28s.
How (and why) do some of you guys get your cars so heavy?
My fat butt in my bone stock '98 WS6, automatic convertible, full power & AC does not weigh that much. How, where & why do you put so much weight in them?

Turbos and intercoolers add lots of weight. Couple that with an S60, cage, 4l80 and that's a lot of extra weight over stock.
