im not sure if this is a dumb idea or not i was thinking about how to keep weight above out tires at wot. would dropping the front of the car and keeping stock height in the back kinda keep some leverage on that weight shift? what do you guys think?

Not really...you haven't stopped the momentum from forcing the rear down. Maybe if you jacked up the rear with stiffer springs...or for that matter just went with stiffer rear springs at stock height.

I know there is stuff out there that you can install in the springs to keep them from compressing...i'm just drawing a blank atm. Basically the reverse of "spring compressors."

Wheelie bar, keeps the front from transfering too much weight to the rear.

How much do you lose by this weight transfer?

I remember a grand prix with rear air cylinders that he would charge up and limit rear suspension travel.

you can buy spring blocks that stop the rear springs from compressing.

Would like to see some bags on the monte ss. I replaced the bags in my cadillac wasnt really much diffrent from normal springs/struts

Ummm, how do you fit airbags with coilovers, or are you talking about replacing the coilovers?

06WHITEMCSS

The only way is to replace the entire rear strut witha bag type.

Intense used to make a drag racing suspension kit for our cars. It sold for $99. Everytime I tried to order it, they had sold out. As of last November they quit offering it but their site listed it at $69. Here is a link of what it looked like. http://www.3800pro.com/forum/springs...-kit-back.html

Lowering our cars should make them hook better because of the lower center of gravity. You guys with lowering springs might see slightly lower 60 ft. times. Anyone lowered have a before and after time?

Another one I have seen is to to create an attachment point at the top of the strut tower and another in the lower control arm and connect with a chain to compress the front suspension. But it has to be done right, obviously, because the forces are pretty high. It keeps the front from lifting and is completely removable.

to answer your question, the company air ride tech or easy street makes complete strut replcements for cars, they bolt right up, this is my other car its on air ride, and i use air ride tech compressor systems, car goes up car goes down,,,,lol,,,,, i get the best of both worlds awesome performance the struts are 3 way adjustable, and i hit the switch,ppppsssttttttttttttttt
lay it right out pics dont do my car justice, i cant even fit a cigarette packk at the rocker moldings, the engine cradle is a 1/4` from the ground
