^ one also needs a good "K" to reduce brake dive. I believe MM makes them in such a way, and I know my Griggs one does this, as you can read ***HERE***

Sounds like you need coilovers man. lol they help with brake dive and a nice set of dampers would also help.

Alright, first of all, will reducing nose dive gain anything? Safety? Improved 1/4 times?

A K member will reduce alot of weight huh, and I know I need to restore alot of suspension parts in my car with aftermarket ones, so might as well. My car is really old. I haven't read that site you posted Jazzer, but during my brake, I definitely will. And I will look into coiover as well.

thanks

I don't see how reducing brake dive will help your quarter mile times, just help you slow down VERY FAST with improved control and shed some weight. So if stopping is an issue with your 1/4 mile runs.... than you will benefit
