Weight transfer, what's that? LOL

im sure the sportlines work just fine for the track, they are just too much drop for me. although i do love looking at steve's car over in the "springs" thread (no homo)

sportlines and 275/60 MT's-28inch tall tire

IMO Sportlines look good, but are not optimal for drag racing.

Mine are Roush/DUB/Pro-Kit Bo-Bo's.... should be fine with an adjustable shock/strut.

i have also been looking at the ultralites for a while now.

i have a few months until i need to make a decision since id like to put it all on in May, or, if i can get the wife to take it to TS, i'll have it done before i get home so i dont have to worry about all of that like i did last month with the Paxton install. took way more time than i planned and the wife wasnt happy.

The pro kit is a better option. Personally I do not like sportline springs. I had them once on an old car, took them off a week later. The ride was shit, they handled terribly, etc. Everyone has a opinion, I like H&R springs in every way better then eibach. I have since switched to a set of H&R race springs, with a set of properly valved Bilstein shocks and the car is a completely different animal. I get nothing but compliments from people on the ride quality, and overall feel of the car. The hand full of new 5.0s i have driven with sportlines i hated. but this is just my opinion.

Same springs I have, we bought them at the same time. I don't hate the ride, but I've had much better. Couldn't beat the price we paid though!

Sportlines suck for drag racing! hahaahaaa

And your 60' was whaaattt?

I think I'm leaning towards the Strange struts/shocks. They'll do what I want and give me a little more flexibility than a set of STR.T's for pretty much the same price.

Slow (1.82 best), but I'm fairly certain the 20s are hurting more than the springs. :nono:

I've got these. They are nice. But after dialing in the ride, it isn't greatly different than my stock Brembo shocks/struts, and I had to get them pretty stiff to tame the Sportlines' bounce. I think you'll like them.

<-plans on cutting 1.5's on 19's!

Someday!
