need to drop 60' I ran the car finally through the 1/4 mile a few weeks back and it ran the time that is in my sig... well that 1.9 60' is kind of upsetting and i was thinking if i could get that down a little that it could be a solid mid 12 sec car. I was running street tires on that run and so i was thinking of purchasing the following to help with my 60' and i wanted to get your guys' opinions on if it would help and is worth buying.... UMI LCA's and Panhard Bar & Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials 275/40R17's for the rear.

I dont see how doing some rear suspension mods and sticky tires COULDNT help you out. I say 1.7-1.8 possibly. Im not sure if there needed but I see alot of guys relocating the lca's just fyi.

Good luck on keeping that 10 bolt together with thoes tires. I wouldnt run anything softer than a nitto drag radial on a 10 bolt, and still you have the posibility of breaking it.

Previous car had over 100 plus passes, 1.7s,1.8s still held. Knock on wood, but I havent seen an fbody lose a rear up here yet.
