Thumbs up

Chikenears

Don't be dissapointed, I will say you will see a 3 tenths improvement.

Please post your results or e-mail me with your results as I am going to buy traction bars soon.

JR,

What I like about them so far is that you don't even know they're there until you hit the go pedal hard, then you know they're there. The truck jumps up!

Chikenears, what kind of clearance do you have between the snubber and the spring. We get some variation on the lowered trucks.

Ideal would be 1 1/4"-1 1/2". If you are going to use an aggressive tire such as the taller Hoosiers, you can get away with more clearance.

Tim,

Since you are using a similar setup to what I had, and my slicks. I would say your clearance is about right, use the slicks at 14.5psi and you will hit 7's for sure. If you can get 1.6x to 1.7x 60 foot's you will see 7's I know. I would do 1000rpm to the floor I can get 1.6x's all day on those slicks you have now....

Jay,

I measured 1 1/2 inches from the top of the snubber to the springs. They seem to be working on street tires, we'll see at the track tonight what they do. So far I'm very pleased.

Thanks,

Tim

Richard,

I checked the air pressure, they're at 14.5 psi. I'll try your launch method and see how it works for me.

I had the slicks balanced and they were way off, must have slipped on the rims. I did not have the fronts balanced, how did they do? Do I need to balance them?

unless you screw them to the rims your constantly going to be rebalancing them and then its just pointless. I did a launch with mine last night at 12 PSI on the street! With no traction devices yet, and GOD DAMN these tires hook allot better then the E.T. streets.
