1le owners come in!! I just purchased a 98 1le w/ 19k miles on the clock. What have you other 1le owners done to maximize traction at the dragstrip?

Re: 1le owners come in!! man....this topic is old...but I want a few more opinions. How should the koni's be adjusted for maximum 1/4 mile performance?

hmmm.....I wonder if somebody w/ some hal's wants to trade for my koni's <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> All you hal owner know that you want to tear up the corners....hehe

Re: 1le owners come in!! The 1LE springs are too stiff for good weight transfer. But, to maximize traction, set the rears full soft, and make sure that the rebound is full soft in front. If you decide to sell the Koni's shoot me an email; if the price is right and they don't leak, I may be interested.
My 1LE has never axle hopped on accleration; hard braking is a different story. When I put the 555R-II's on the T/A (with stock suspension), it started to wheel hop on a hard launch. 1LE LCA's and panhard cured it. If you put aftermarket LCA's on, I strongly suggest the G2 race units with the rod end. Poly/poly will bind and screw up the handling.
