It could be worse, and you could have a leaf spring car like me. The factory springs were worn and the back end tried to hop like mad. Suspension all replaced now but haven't been to the track in ages, how well it would do who knows, since it's set up for road racing rather than drag. It could use a set of Cal Tracs, but no money.

im curious how that upper control arm relocation kit works, ive heard its just a band aid for poor suspension components.

ive also heard it with lift bars work great.......i already have lift bars so you can be my guinea pig lol
