was talkin to a buddy of mine that has a 600hp lightning and he watched me at the track and says i need suspension work..

so my ? is what kind of suspension do i need to go faster at the track and to get better weight transfer..any websites or parts would be great...thanks

all thats done to it now is a belltech 3/4 drop with shocks springs shackles and hangers..i'd like for it to sit the same or a lil lower if possible

look into some adjustable shocks like the QA1's, and some long bars


a few guys seem to like the JDM drag springs but I've hearx they suck for street useage hence the Harley truck coils I picked up before my eibach's



try the mods suggested above and then look at possibly switching to V-6 coils up front with a coil or 2 cut off
