I would pull the wires and cap off, check the contacts on the underside of the cap, check/replace the module, and check the coil too....lots of parts that could be causing the breakup...Are the wires fairly new? Check to see if they are "leaking" spark at night when its dead dark out...

Installed the wires two years ago. Inspected them before I installed them on this setup and they looked good. They really don't come anywhere near the exhaust to be burnt. I also wouldn't think it would drop off like that if it was "leaking"

I know some of you guys are only roll racers, LOSERS! Those of you who are knowledgeable on suspension geometry, instant roll center, spring rates, shock and strut settings and rear suspension information. Would you happen to have any bookmarks or links that you can point me towards. I read some information earlier today that has me somewhat confused. I'd really like to cross reference it. I actually wouldn't mind if the information you are directing me towards deals with a 3link type suspension, but anything will work. Whatever you've got, i'll check out. Books at the library are fine too.

Thanks guys!

Luke I have this book if you want to borrow it. It has some good information that deals with 3 & 4 link plus some other styles.

I think I've got a few sites about that, though more of them are based on road race than drag race, still might be relevant though. I'll dig through them for ya.

I could break the rear end too, I'm just rocking out these 275 40 17's right now, and there isn't enough bite in them to hurt anything. just wait until my car is on real sticky tires, that will put it to the test.

A) You guys denied my offer to race

B) Where were you guys a month ago when starbright was running his mouth and I had a half dozen cars lined up for you guys.

C) Try not to roll around with a Civic hatch / Space shuttle replica. You lose any and all credibility... seriously
