Default pic the 88 at the track

Here is a pic I got sent to me today. I had the tires up higher on some other passes, but its a good pic... I had a 1.38 60 that day. I really need to work on my suspension though it spins bad if I put more than a 100 shot on it.. I just dont know what else to di with it at this point... any help would be greatly appreciated...current mods are as follows

spohn torque arm set at -2 pinion angle..
spohn control arms
spohn panhard bar
lakewood 90-10 struts up front
moroso trick springs up front
competition eng. drag shocks in the rear
stock springs in the rear..

don't worry about the air bag, put a good swaybar in it.

Yes that is the glasstek 4in. -2 pinion seems to work best so far. As for the southside lift bars I have not seen any good reults from them.......

I have thought about the stock location coil over kit though. anythoughts on that setup from anyone ?

Let me know if you try it and what rate springs you are using. I have seen them on 4th gens and I have yet to get any info on springs. I know nosfedta knows what I use, We had a discution a long time ago.
Not to hi-jack your thread but I have gone 9.41 at 146 with a stock style suspension and I have seen the south side kit. I wouldn't put that kit on any car, it just adds weight and it's nonadjustable to boot. I plan on going into the 8's this year and all I'm waiting for is a set of headers and I'm off to the dyno.

They are junk. I had them and it made the *** end lift instead of squat. I took them off and went with a jegster solid body mounted torque rail.
