real common to put 4 cylinder springs in the rear of fox bodies. Mine are still stock springs though. ---

drew your shocks are not meant for drag strip, the are meant to handle, you want the complete opposite if you want to launch it and on top of that your lowered, even with stickies you’ll still have a hard time launching. Didnt you also remove the rubber inner piece of the spring in the rear? if so that also makes it harder to hook, your car is really setup to handle, i wouldnt get so caught up on how you do at the track, your car is more of a street car ---

also i wouldnt even worry about getting a 12 bolt, if you were to put drag radials on your car now i still dont think you would hook hard enough to break your 10 bolt, your car just isnt setup for the drag strip ---

You know you need to heat those up for them to get sticky… They’re not competition tires. They’re certainly not all-seasons as far as wet grip and wear goes, but they work just fine for DD duty. They’re actually not on the car now, only on and off for auto X and maybe a week before one. And based on all of the research I’ve done and the people I’ve talked to, these are one of the fastest-heating up street tires for auto X out there. I love them for auto X. ---

Drive around the water box, and just quickly spin them to clean them off. I know this…and the first run of the night that worked awesome. But as the night went on and all the goons drove through the water box and got water on the track, it fucks it all up even if you drive around it. ---
