lowering springs and drag racing

[steveo9043]

I have tried searching and have not come up with much.

How do lowering springs effect drag racing?

I know different days/etc can effect times but does anyone have any comparisons for say a bolt on car with stock suspension to a bolt on car with drop springs?

better or worse 60ft?

would the lower stance help aero and increase trap speed?

it's not so much the lowering that will effect the drag racing, it's the camber.
You need to control the negative camber in order to get good traction off the line.

We offer bolt kits that give you more adjustment than stock alignment bolts do just for this reason,

Ah so this may help my wretched 60'? How does that minimization affect handling other wise? Less steady state traction in corners?

well, you can either have your car tuned for cornering or the drag strip, not both.

Setting it up for the strip will cause you to have less traction in the rear in the corners, wear won't be an issue, just the balance of the car in the corners due to the loss of rear wheel traction at higher G loads

so if you want your car set up for the corners which alignment spec do you recommend and can it be easily changed for the dragstrip
