Default how many cars are LOWERED and running 1.5x or better 60fts

just seeing how many peeps out there with lowered cars running better than 1.6 60ftrs......how low are you dropped....if so what springs/shocks you guys running, do you like it or not and is it better now than with stock spring/shock setup..

My last 2 runs last year were a 1.59 and a 1.58. Not too far under 1.6 but... My total suspension at that point consisted of Hotchkis rear LCAs and non adj. panhard, UMI TA relocation bracket, stock TA, Strano springs, and Bilstein HD shocks, 2Xmm Susp. Techniques rear swaybar and no front swaybar (the front 35mm solid Susp. Tech. bar is heavy as hell so I take it off for the track). I don't dump the clutch but I roll it out at about 3500rpm. I like it and it does about the same the stock WS6 stuff. I'm looking to change up to Konis and a Watts link so I'm curious how that will work out.

Whatever Strano springs are rated at, maybe 1.5" or something? I can't remember, lol.
