Any particular reason you have drag radials mounted on the rears?

Was wondering the same thing. Maybe so he can get the rear to rotate easier on the wet track?

I like that 2nd pic - it makes it look like you're going warp speed! heh heh

It was hella fun... since mine is an auto...I simply put the tranny in the 1 position and left it there... I had instant torque and the course had so many chicanes and slaloms that I didn't even touch 7000rpm...

my sways are stock. I have the fstb, the intrax springs and tokico blues... kumhos up front... m/s in the back.

I am going to upgrade the sways eventually, but this was just for fun to see how I would do, I am focusing on the quarter mile more...

oh, and jeff, they werent slicks... they were m/s tires mount on 15 in. 225/50 mustang rims... I will tell you why if you must know, but I will just say that my front camber rimps up my tires quickly

I don't HAVE to know but I don't understand the secret. How much is the camber off on the fronts? I told you at Sam's place! Matt93se said there was up to about 1/2 degree camber play adjustment just by loosening the two strut bolts and jiggling them around. But unfortunately, you have to find a place that knows their butt from a lugwrench to be able to fiddle with it. Nothing or whatever his name is had something like this done at some generic place. (Les Schawb or something) I know Tru-Line would do it right but it's $$$$.
