Typically when someone censors something they don't want you to see it? I guess I don't understand the question. If you know me well enough you know what it says. If you don't, then......

So you put a sticker on your car....but you don't want people to see...and you don't understand my question? That sounds about right lol.

I love the 17/15 dark star set up. Can't wait to get my 15x10's but I also need a drop. Boosted,let me know how the BMR spring work out for you. They're on the top of my list.

1.52 was the best of the day and that was all she had, track was prepped very well, I don't think I could have spun if I tried. Hoping to go push the 17 even faster next time out.

I assume thats a 275/40/17 tire, looks to be the ET street?

Have you ever tried the 295/45 ET street II ?

Yes, ET Radial in the stock size. I run them on my chrome 10 spokes as well. No, other then a Nitto 555R, that's the only size/kind of drag radial this car has ever had on it.

I love these wheels. Although I have several friends who turn their nose up to them because EVERYONE is running them now.

In my area there arent many fbodys, believe it or not lol. I think they meant in general, in the whole scene, theres a ton of people running them and they are no longer a New, uncommom wheel. I could care less. I like them, they are much more modern looking than the old Weld Prostar. Even though the Weld prostar is one of the lightest drag wheels made.

I finally got around to installing my springs the other night. I had to install new shocks up front because the top nut was rusted so bad I had to cut it off. Now I need to find someone to do an alignment. All the shops around here say the car is to low to drive on the rack.

boosted-delslow that looks great. that sits about where mine sits. I want some 15x10 DarkStars on the back. How was clearance? what size tires are you running? do you still have bumpstops in place?

That looks perfect. Think you can still fit a 28 back there?
