I would have to say trailing arms. They will get you to hook and lower that 60.

Easily the best mod for 60 foot is trailing arms

I've got a few buddies coming over tomorrow so the suspension overhaul begins tomorrow. Rear sway, fe4 LCA's, trailing arms, and tie rods all go in within the next few days

i wish i could get a chance to drive your car to feel the difference! and yeah i am doing mostly rear stuff due to it being better for the drag strip too. for a fact doing the Tune, drop springs, rear trailing arms, and at least rear cradle bushings by the aug 15th

What's the word on the tune? Yea, the rear stuff will definitely help. I did the front sway just because I wanted better handling to make the car more fun to drive and man am I glad I did it.

I will be making a thread tomorrow around noon with the detail on LMR. I am calling them first thing in the morning after my trip to the dealer to have its final check off before bye bye warranty. Mainly cause i want the AC condensor and belts checked. Also to make sure the steering gears are good considering i hear quite a bit of interal sweaking. but yeah i want both sways too but i want the rear fixed up for the drag strip

Sweet, I'll definitely be awaiting that thread.

Oh and the sways definitely work.... Was doing some "spirited driving" today and took a turn at 70 and the car didn't even flinch with only the front sway

Sweet definitely waiting to hear the results of that tune. I'm really glad IPF dropped their prices. Now I know I for sure am not going with trifecta when it comes time for my headers

Nice. I have taken a few spirited turns and all I have to say is that even with traction on this cars back end likes to kick out if accelerate in the middle of the turn.

Speaking of all this suspension stuff just placed an order through Apex and ordered the pfadt rear arm package . Even used the gift card I got from coming in third during the March Madness tourney. Hope they come before fest and I can get them installed.
