most effecient progression of drag suspension mods?

tire · 12-09-2003, 10:32 AM

Can someone list drag suspension parts in order to lower 60's most effeciently?

How important is a front drag suspension really? I mean, I know it helps with weight transfer, but will 90/10's really help that much with a launch? Or is it almost all rear suspension, and just worry about getting the rear done and then move to the front? .

I'm getting MM LCA's for Christmas.

HO HO HO.

And my gf might dyno my car! Who knows for sure yet though.

And yes... I am dragging my V6, something God never intended his creatures to do but oh wells.

if i had to do it over again, i'd start with LCA's and UCA's

Steeda Hardcore to be exact.
Solid lowers, adjustable uppers.

Then front coilovers.

I'd probably skip the 90/10's if I was on a budget.

UCA's are even worth it? .

i've been told otherwise. explain more please, thanks.

i think way ahead and i think i might go tq arm waaay in the future and then the UCA's wouldn't be needed. however, they are only 30-60 bucks right?

uca's are needed to adjust the pinon angle...

pinon angle is a very important factor in getting all the traction you can. its overlooked by most.

and they're not cheap....$150-$200

I would agree with Brian on this Austin.I've been able to achieve some decent 60ft times on drag radials because of the control arms.:jeff:

If you get double adj UCAs then you can adjust them without unbolting them.
