preach it brutha



When you've come to a decision about how you intend to use the car then we can trot down the parts spec path. Until then you're kinda spinnin' yer wheels. Think of suspension setups as being any point along the following scale:

drag------------------street------------------corners

While this is a drastic oversimplification, you can pretty easily see that one setup does not do well for the others. If you want the best of all worlds you'll have to have 3 cars. I have a pretty nice setup for street and road course work. It's not got the right springs in it to do very well on the strip but the torque arm conversion enhances grip enough to help make up for it. It's never gunna be thought of as a drag car but I'll take it to the strip come summer and if I can't muster better than a 2.4 60' time then I'll live with that because corners and street driving are more important to me.
