I have only gone once and I was not to good. My first run was 13.99@ 102mph and my second run was 14.3& 102mph. I had alot of wheel hop on the second one. My shocks were shot form what I understand. Now I have new socks, sfc, and rear control arms. that should help alil with the traction.

EDIT: also the car is a manuel 6 so that did not help me. My reaction time on the first run was .594 and the second run was like .350. I hope to get to go next racing season.

Welcome. That is a bad *** car, take good care of it, as the Sport Gold is hard to find. Oh yea, dry it before you snap pics too!

As far as the relocation brackets, they simply adjust for the drop caused by the springs, for ideal suspension geometry. As stated though, the suspension forum can probably explain it better.
