Ok, fixing to head off to the night shift for my last workday this weekend...but, I had to get my new shocks, struts and springs on before I left for work. I swapped out my OEM replacement Tokico's for Strange adjustables and swapped my 300lb coilover springs up front for 175lb springs. I'm trying to cut my horrible 1.996 60ft times down so I can hit 12's.
Granted it rained today and the streets are still somewhat damp, but I took it for a drive and tried to launch it a few times. I didn't feel any difference. It did not seem that the front end of the car sat up or weight transfered. I know its optimal to remove the front sway bar, which I will when it comes track time.
Am I getting ahead of my self? Are the tires spinning on damp pavement stopping the car's suspension from reacting? Is the sway bar making that much of a difference?
Rear shocks are set on 5 (50/50) and front struts are on 3 (70/30). Maybe tomorrow it will dry out and I can try it again.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Joe
