It still freakin spins!
I was kickin total ass on the tree at seally last saturday, cut a .502 first round, and a .503 2nd round, then I cut a .580 and ran .12 off cuase it spun (2.05 60'!) I cant beleive im having traction issues with these HUGE ass slicks, (Which I got to try out on the street, (RAINING!) for two days and you cant tell they are back there.

I just got a set of V6 Springs for my camaro, and drilled holes in the bottoms
of each front strut.

What should I do to the rear suspension of my car to give a good hook?
Should it be soft, hard, or middle of the road, When do I need an Airbag?
Or will the V6 front springs and drilled front struts be enough to get the
car to hook?

QA1 shocks set at 1 up front and 4-5 out back what type of slick is it? a torque bar would help also.

It is a Mickey Thompson ET Drag... Race only full all out drag slicks..

do you mean I should get an adjustable torque arm? Im a welder I can make on of those pretty easy.. how much would it help? or do I just need a more ridgid torque arm... What kind of springs should I have out back?

Are they tubed and screwed? That should help greatly.

no, not screwed or tubed, but I never checked to see if the rims were spinning in the tire... would they still squeel if that was happenning?

stiffer is what you want on the TQ arm and about 2 degrees neg for the pinion angle. Sounds like a weight tranfer problem did you remove the sway bar? I do not think your wheels are spinning on rim what is your air pressure?

yeah, I pulled the front sway bar off a LONG time ago, and I run 10psi at one track, and 15 at houston raceway park where u can hook if u coat the tires with vaseline..

I JUST put on (like an hour ago) V6 springs and I drilled out my struts...HOLY "He said POOP" the nose feels like something is exploding under now every time I take off... Its got GOOD weight transfer now I would hope ;-)

Should I put those V6 springs in the back? or are the stiffer V8 springs better, or is there a diff betweem the two on the rear, one thing is for sure the car looks AWSOME with about a 1 1/2" Drop in the front ;-)

Vaseline? Haven't heard about that one.

(sarcasm) Houston hooks good

Ok I put V6 Springs on all four.... Lowered the car at least 1" all around looks good I think ;-)
