All the others like, steeda, mac, summit, and maximum motorsports are really only good for street driving and not for drag racing.
Relocated uppers by Team Z or Baseline Suspensions are a great way to fix the crappy stock suspension geometry as well as the lowers that Ox has listed there. Stock location control arms will do just fine in most cases, but that's all they do is "just fine." If you want the best traction out of your car especially in a straight line, you need to set up up to do so. Understanding how a 4-link rear suspension works is the first step as many people just start throwing parts at their cars and hope that the combination they bought works like to did on the other cars they saw on the forums.

I'd go to baselinesuspensions.com and read some of the tech info on there about how to properly set up your suspension. Pay close attention to the "Instant Center" stuff. That is one of the main things wrong with the stock 4-link and what the contrl arms we are talking about try to correct.

I am usually around 1.88-1.92 with 315 05R's bone stock suspension(actually eibach lowered) dumping it from 3K. But that is changing this weekend with UPR UCA's, UPR LCA's, and Strange 10 ways all the way around.

What suspension mods were in place when the 1.4 60' occurred on the Nitto R's???

I'm not saying it didn't happen, but that is a SUPER low 60', especially for a DR !!! I'm curious how you managed to pull that off.

My best so far (1st time at the track) was 2.270 in the 60' I guess its not too bad vs a car virtually stoc with a lot less HP

I have cut a few 1.82x's with mine. This was on a warm day though.....one of those passes I dropped the clutch from damn near 6k and it just hooked. That's not the norm, though, so I don't mean to say they are like slicks but WOW. That day was something else.


I have bolt on power with 4.10s and HPM LCA's with strange shocks/struts. I have also cut a few more in the 1.8x range.

In the rear was megabite jr. lowers set at 100% anti squat, Baseline suspension pro uppers, Baseline suspension anit-roll bar, QA1 coil overs, CHE axle brace and CHE shock tower brace. Up front was QA1 coilover and K member/A arms. The tire pressure was 18psi. Launched at 5000 rpms and making about 5 lbs of boost.

running ~20 PSI I could not do better then a 2.16... my other two launches were 2.3's.

I did not heat them up much (burnout through water box for about 5 seconds TOPS), and my launch control is horrible and erratic (I don't do the same thing twice lol)

Skip the water and you will do alot better. The water is for slicks.
