got the front coilovers on but ran out of time for the rears. i must say what a BIG difference its made with just the fronts. from top of the rim lip to the bottom of the fender well im at 4". and i still have 3" of play on the coilovers.

also had to replace one of the bushing mounts for the sway bars/traction bars. bought a set of Moogs and they seem much stiffer then the energy suspension.

anyways should have the rears on by Wednesday with a wash and some pics.

Installed the rear coil-overs today but sadly no rear sway bar due to Hotchkis using cheap end links.

I'm currently sitting at +14 from soft on the all four corners. All the coil-overs are measured the same (FR/FL, RR/RL) but for some reason once on the ground the wheel gap is different all around between 1/4-1/2". I'm going to leave for the time being until I can get replacement end links and the other set of Moog front sway bar end links installed.

Sorry no pics. I'm tired as hell from working on "Lola" (that's her name, I've had her for over 2 years and just gave her a name, I hope you like it.) all day. I'll have her washed up for tonight's car meet in Waldorf and try to take pics then.

You can measure them all the same, but it wont set the same from front to back because the front wheel well is a different shape from the rear. Wheel well will be taller / higher, so it wont be as "low."

Here is the one pic of the coil over that I took.


And here's what I've been kinda working on. It's an adjustable rear spoiler. Yes I know its cardboard...it's a work in progress. Let me know what you think.

time to tint the windows Joe.

your putting a spoiler on your AVS spoiler?

Buy a regular trunk lid and do it please. I'd hate to see that CF molded one get butchered.

First Joe wont butcher anything

ugh coils on this car make me chubby mode

I went to MIR today and got to put the SRT down the track a few times. This is the first time I've run the car. It's been years since I've drag raced and i think I did pretty good. On to the numbers.

Nice.. What tires were you using

Falcon Azenis, I dont have slicks yet.

For got to add that all runs were done with back seats, spare tire and Kicker system removed. Also had 3/4 tank of gas. Tire pressure was set at 38psi on all for corners. Coilovers set to 18/front, 32/rear.

Nice racing, man! Loving the cam and the car. Nice rt's, too. What's up with all the trucks, though? They're the only ones with a big enough engine to take you on?

I'm too lazy to look, what's done engine wise?

wow how did you launch differently on that last run?? Your 60 improved by a lot!

thats it i think...motor wise

I think with more practice and slicks i'll be in the 12.7-12.5 range

Nice times.

For some reason or another I thought you had a lot more work done (50 trim), and I was looking at the times saying to myself "What the hell??? That's awfully slow!" But now that I see that you don't have as much done as I thought, I'm impressed, nice runs .

yeah...i know, im "more show then go" but i plan on changing that...

So am I in a sense, I would never knock for you that in a million years. But I swore I read you had a bigger turbo (could be losing my mind). Maybe you said you were planning on getting on and I read it wrong (also possible). Either way, great runs!

You're deff not losing your mind cause i could have sworn as well that you were at least stage 3..... i even thought you had a vid up of the install..... hmm

Either way man good runs and the car looks great as always

Alright I don't feel so weird anymore ha ha.

i had a 20g turbo laying around but sold it along time ago. it was gonna be a pain in the butt to put a kit together. as of now i need to decide what i want to do with the car. drag racing is fun but i really want to get into autocross/road course.

Went to MIR last night and beat my time and made it to 3rd round eliminations but got beat by a Malibu...again...on to the pics and vid!

Here's some pics the wife took.

sweet pics, the run at the strip was cool too, my R/T seems to pull harder to redline than your car does
