How to keep the front end down without bars? I have qa1 double adjustable shocks in the car right now. I havent tried it yet but will stiffening the shocks all the way help keep the front end from coming up as much. Im trying to get the 60's in the 1.2'.
Also i hear people straping the front end down. To do this do i just weld a tab near the shock tower and get some ratchet straps?
If anyone has tried both please let me know your thoughts
thanks

On my car stiffening up the extension on the front shock made little differance. My car will still end up on the bumper.
Travel limiters made a big differance. The car will still wheelie on a real good track if I bring in the power too quick though. A combination of front end limiters and and bringing the power in at the right time seems to do the trick.
A few of my friends have recently installed some kinf of wheelie control box that pulls timing out when the fron end of the car goes too high. I forget who makes it off the top of my head though.

travel limiters how do these mount?
tks for the reply
what 60's can you cut on slicks
Check out madmans website for travel limiters. He makes a nice setup and I'm pretty sure there are pics of them installed on a car.
I've never had slicks on my car. On drag radials it goes 1.27-1.29.

The travel limiter is usually made from a chain or cable with an adjustable bracket with holes in it you adjust to limit the amount of front travel before the chain or cable's max length is reached limiting the front from traveling.
You mount it up on the shock tower and the bottom part attached to the a arm.
The suspension is not strapped down and will still move up and down, but upward travel is limited by the length of the chain or cable.
A good range is to run between 2-4 inches of travel depending on how much the car tends to wheelie.
Madman and wolferacecraft both make kits for our cars.

1.36 60' with the rear tires just hanging them out there on radials. But on slicks I had the HALS 2 clicks from all the way +. On radials we dialed them all the way soft and hung the front end 100+ feet at about a foot off the ground. I do have limiters but they are just there just incase of a really good track surface. Went 9.07 @ 154 this pass.
