Ok so Looks like front Drag shocks and rear drag bar will prob be the next steps. I really dont want to weld the drag bar to the chassis though..

For those that dont know. Its a M6 with a Pro 5.0 ,Mcleod Street twin clutch a Dana S60 with 4.10s on Skinnies up front and QTPs out back also have a 2-step. Car has a K-member.SFCs,LCAs,TA, TA relocation cross member,PHB. LE2 355 with all the bolt ons I can think of.

Strange makes a set of front SAs that are single adjustable to always be stiff coming down but your able to set them so that it doesnt always throw the front up if you want to drive them on the street. i havent been able to find any 90/10s for our cars if your looking for an all out drag strut though

someone please correct me if im wrong
sounds good

I had singles and the car would tend to slam down, bounce and bottom out on the street if set loose. I can now run them loose on the extension all the time and the car hooks great both track and street and never bottoms out. I drive the car the exact same way I race it...tire pressure, shocks, etc.

The drag skocks and rear bar that Larry suggested. Shift light and then when you want to put a nice dent in your savings, a 6-point rollbar. Don't forget the swingouts on the rollbar if you think you might get tired of climing over it.

ive heard from a lot of fast 6sp guys that you need a DA out back. i have SA QA1s so we'll see how that goes. it helps you plant the tires harder, and not have to worry about squat. set the extension loose and the compression firm.
