    New suspension

    Well got Old Red out to the track tonight with some new front struts and a right rear wheel air bag. I couldn’t keep the car on the tack at the top before. Here I had a blown right front strut. Put on some Strange adjustable's and it took care of it. Car went 10.32 @ 134 and some change. With a 1.36 60. So I'm on the right track. Now I need some work in the back to keep it from squatting. Three runs were within 3 hundredths of each other, pretty good for a stick shift car.

    Talk to Kevin at Baseline Suspensions.

    http://www.baselinesuspensions.com/

    His upper set-up is 100% anti Squat, real simple and works. Kevin is a great guy to talk to also, spent two weeks talking to me via e-mail about my set-up, etc. My car would squat like mad then unload, like a porpoise going down the track. Kevin's street upper set solved it for me. ki was on the fence about an anti roll bar and ended up staying with the bag on his advise. He could have probably sold me a ARB too, but told me to try his stuff with the air bag and it just worked.
