I don't see why it would bottom out on 12-175s. Maybe I'm missing something here... but since you are running UPR Products suspension, you are welcome to call us at 561.588.6630, and if you call between 830-330 Eastern time, you can talk to Jeremy for tech help. He's one of the best in the industry.

I talked to him before..I went through hell trying to figure it out..I changed caster/camber plates,struts,ball joints..It didnt help so I called and they recommended trying that spring rate..It fixed the problem so no complaint there..but that 12 175 spring is what my tuner recommended for street/strip..

Well I ran a little better last night..I removed my front sway bar..Still spinning really bad in first gear though..I ran 7.66 at 99.4 mph with a 1.79 60 ft...Hope to get my double adjustable uppers on..Then maybe call upr and order a different front coilover spring more drag strip friendly..I let a good friend of mine drive the car last night..He said the front end is way to stiff and is not tranfering weight very good...

Yeah, you definitely need that front end to move freely.
