Baselines lowers arn't any better. Look at the link I posted for lowers, those are the best you can use.
If you believe everything those road racers tell you about drag racing you're in trouble.
I can take a crap in a paper bag and sell it to you to put on the right side of your trunk. It will help with weight transfer and make your car hook like crazy. Would you believe me?

alright. What they are telling me is this... To have a good launching car that can be driven well on the street as well is as follows. Tokico D spec shocks with H&R sport springs NON COIL OVERS slightly stiffer than stock, coil overs in the front 200lbs,tokico struts, FLSFC, adj MM LCA's, rear sway bar, TQ arm kit, Panhard kit, Roll bar.
T
"This will launch like a son of a bitch, and still be able to run on the road, all you would have to do is change the springs to road race." is exactly what he said. This was the best drag setup from his launch box kit mixed with the front end parts. You disagree 100% here? Saying this is an awful setup?
I know the panhard/tq arm setup is in exchange for the pro launch. Just relaying the conversation as I called to discuss the EXACT setup.
Whats up with the low quality LCA's over the baseline's?
Sorry to keep hounding you man, i'm really neck deep in this, and need all the knowledge I can get. My first build as you know.

how rough will your setup be in the curves everyday? I live in Virginia where there aren't many straight roads unless your on the strip. I don't want drive 35mph in it everywhere other than the strip. I'm so torn because I have two very experienced people telling me to go to two opposite extremes. How much different is 175 to 200 in the front?
I will drop the MM control Arms and go with what you listed here. You saying I should drop the rear shocks and springs and go coil overs? correct ox

I had pretty much the exact same setup as I listed above. My buddy in his 04 cobra with 650rwhp couldn't keep up with me at the track or on the way there and back. The fastest I went in a corner was 65mph in a soft 90* turn.
I also had sex in the back seat and the car never rocked back and forth.

I wouldn't call MM stuff exactly junk I have their road and track pakage and its top quilty stuff but I do agree that if you trying to save weight then MM is not the way to go because thier stuff is made very heavyduty and not much lighter than stock.

well i'm not concerned with weight what so ever really. Again its not going to be dedicated drag. So i'm going to go with the full maximum grip package with non coil overs in the back. This will be a DD first, drag second, so i'm just going to buy the whole damn thing, take that dudes word for it, and if its total **** on the drag strip, call me a road racer, and jazzer and I will become the AX guys I guess. I don't want to weld up, lock up my rear end and not be able to enjoy driving it. Wish me luck. Call me stupid, theres only one way to find out if what they are saying is true. I will be the test rat.
here is what i purchased with a few modifcations, instead of coil overs, went shocks and springs near stock stiffness. Tokico D spec struts, shocks. and the Extreme duty control amrs

God damn that is alot of money. What I showed you would have cost half that and out perform it on the street, strip and track. But it's your money, good luck.
