Sweet! I'm still kicking around the idea of doing a new shifter when I replace my interior this summer.

....also very heavy. The adjustable in chromemoly will cost over $500 from Spohn. But I haven't decided yet. I'll run the car on the stock arm with a poly mount and street tires for now and hope for 2.0 60' times

spohn a-arms are the best i've ever seen. he's got a completely integrated system that can be tied into his roll cage, etc., sub-frame connectors... blah blah blah. i imagine he'll be able to replace the entire suspension system on a thirdgen one day, if he continues down this path and doesn't get distracted by fourthgens.

I got the stocker with the same rubber mount its had since 1988 and it rules. 1.70's effortlessly. Suspension is for rich people.

27x10.50". If I were to throw money into the suspension I'd probably buy LCA's with relocation brackets, adjustable rear shocks, and front drag struts with V6 (or equally crappy) springs. I don't think your average f-body needs an aftermarket torque arm till you're running silly times.

You could easily box the stock LCAs, get relo brackets, and maybe add a set of 50/50s in the rear and run a 9.5" QTP or toss on a set of DRs for less rolling resistance and faster times.

Next time at the track I'm confident it'll go 1.6x's and atleast 12.20's. I think my ability to hook on the factory suspension is my torque converter. Its a little too tight for my motor so on the initial launch the tires arent immediately hit with full power. I bring the car off idle to about 1500RPM and launch, the car squats, goes about 6-10 feet forward and thats when it reaches its powerband and starts flying. As soon as these QTP's wear out I'll probably be buying a set of 275/60 ET Radials and see how well they work.

Hardly ever because I work nights. Only times I get to go are when they have T&T on sundays ...which sucks. I need a new job
