Some kind of deperate attempt to get the best of both worlds

handlng and strait line

goal is to do both so i started with things that wil help both


weight reduction (aroun 250lbs i think)
SFC
LCA
and im stuck

I'm thinking lower the car 2'' and get relocation brackets and some nice tires (ET streets?) for the strip.
think thats enough to cut a 1,6 to 1.7 60 footer?


power is there
stall is 3400 vigi

From: so close I can taste it...
Weight transfer isn't going to be very good if you drop the car 2".
I wonder if you could get the 60ft that low.
I'm guessing no.

do what i did

get HALs all around .. 35 / 26 sway bars. leave the back height stock .. and drop the front with the hals... i like the stance of my car that way... get the LCA brackets regardless... remove the front bar for drag racing and adjust hals respectively ..

gotta have 2 sets of tires too .. im gonna run 315 Nitto 555Rs and 275 555RIIs for handeling and ET drags / skinnies for the track

done deal !

ps. u can see the stance with front dropped and rear stock height in my sig.
