not bad for what little traction you had. look at it this way, if you could get that 2.3 60 ft down to a 1.8, thats .5 off your 60ft so almost a full second will come off your 1/4 time...you got 12's easy man

The Baseline Prolaunch #1 (UCAs) would be just fine. I personally don't see the need for double adjustable LCAs.

No. I was meaning the Prolaunch #1 UCAs, not LCAs. I don't recommend his LCAs unless you plan on just driving your car to and from the track.

you will need a sway bar in the rear for good traction off the line for sure. They assume that youll get rid of the factory one for a welded in ARB from them. Of course If you dont want to get an aftermarket style bar and keep the factory one maximum motorsports makes a very strong piece with two spherical ends and still has a spring perch. You want at least one spherical end on your LCAs and two on the upper (never ever get poly in the uppers)

Jeesh 10.1?!?! Did you miss all your shifts

That 8.3 is pretty awesome for a bolt on GT running heavy tires and just Nitto DRs.
