Default Rear suspension questions

Will adjustable shocks in the rear really make a difference in launching? I am having huge traction issues with the Black Biatch. I have Steeda springs, lower control arms and su-frame connectors. Please help....

They won't help that much. I have tried 10.5 slicks and still spun through third.

maybe you're not warming them up right.

Slicks should DEF solve your problem. Get new shocks (take the steeda springs out of there) put some UPR drag springs in, get upper/lower control arms...

It should. I have my Konis on full soft but I want to tighten them up for the track. On drag race track you will want to keep the back on soft so you can get the weight trasfer to rear tires for traction. Also depends on the tire you are running as well if it stock or a performance tire. A drag radial will better help your launch. Good Luck,

Matt
