^^^^^I was thinking why do you need those??? but then it hit me!!! you'll need those cause when you run an 11.50 you'll pull the front of the ground so hard in the first 60 ft you don't want it to damage anything when it comes back down

LOL I had a lengthy conversation w/ someone at Strange Engineering yesterday. He gave me a formula for figuring out what springs I need and the 150's are def the wrong ones. Gonna step up to 200's. As the car sits now, the adjusting collar is up too high on the coil over and there is less than an 1/8" space between the coils w/ the load on. No wonder the car is banging over bumps. Not to mention, the bump stops are supposed to be in there unlike the instructions that came w/ the Lakewoods saying not to re use them.

So more unnecessary money needed to be spent from wrong info. Yeah, I'm a lil pissed about that!!!

No clue. I got the stockers today from Ford. Now all I need are the springs. Ordered those from Strange today.
