Rear Drop Thoughts

Just wondering what the thoughts are on the 2 inch rear dropand launches??? Worse or better? common thinking would be worse becuase of less weight transfer but was hoping for some real world comparisons? Thanks

I couldn't tell any difference with mine, by feel or by 60' times.

Drop

I used the bell tech kit and dropped mine 2 inches in the back. I don't think it hurt my 60ft times any. I would think it might actually improve them. I don't have any hard data facts from the strip yet though. I would think that the rear sitting lower and not so high up there would be better.

i have a 3" drop in the back on mine and i feel it helped dramatically my best 60 ft. so far is a 1.65 i'm always in the 1.7's as long as i don't get Too Agressive on the launch. plus i have my new traction set up which stops ALL axel wrap up. i'll post some pictures later. for those who are interested i plan on offereing the whole rear suspension kit. with shocks,hangers,pinion angle shims,and the traction bar set up..i'll be posting pictures later and will have new info. on new items on my new website that will be soon up and running.....JL
