Hey A4 Guys... What Suspension mods do you guys have and what are you guys launching at(Please state stall speed and TC Manufacturer, and also tires;whether or not you use skinnies, DR's, slicks, or if your just using street tires)? Thanks guys!
This post probably won't help cause I'm not good at launching my car:
2.73 gears. No stall yet.
STB, LCA, PHR, TQ ARM, SFC, Stock springs, Stock Struts.
I launch at 1000 RPM
Nitto Drag Radials 275/40/17's at 25 psi.
13.6 @ 103 mph. with a 2.0 sixty foot.
What would I change about my setup??? Alot.

With a non adjustable TQ arm, welded boxed factory LCA's, panhard rod, Lakewood drag shocks up front, what I think is a 3800 stall (Coan), no sway bars, nitrous car.
28X8.5 M&H race master ET street type tire, no power brakes, no trans brake, skinnies.
Have a slip from the previous owner that has a 1.6 60 foot time. Would noot hook on the bottle and I think hazed them on the motor.
Car now has same size tire but its a MT ET street, lighter wheels, double adjustable LCA's with rod ends, QA1 adjustable drag shocks out back, has LCA brackets waitning to go in.
On the street I can get the car spun up to about 2300-2500RPM and the car hooks on street air pressure and cold tires.
Next I am going with AFCO coil overs all around, adjustable TQ arm, weld in rear drag sway bar, Neil Chance stall, trans brake all after more motor work and speay like a 300 shot out of the hole.
My last car pulled like a 2.1 out of the hole (ran a 13.81 that run) and this car would spank that car out of th ehole on the motor.
Going to do some 60 foot runs when it warms up on the motor. I am hoping for close to a 1.6 but nothing faster on the motor and foot brake.

I have full factory suspension minus front sway bar and strut tower. Yank SS4k stall 3.73 gears stock 16" snowflake tires with 26x11.5 ET street (slick type) I usually go from right over 1k and just give it the law and it pulls low 1.6 60's. Occasionally I will stall it real high 3kish but that has only lead to high 1.6 60's.
Mods below. 11.42 @ 116.24 with a 1.47 60ft. That was my best but found my tune was off and running way too rich. I launch off of a 4,000rpm foot brake, and those times were with a 3100 raceweight. It should be 11.0-10.90 in the next few weeks.
