Maximum Motorsport, UPR, Steeda all make some nice contol arms. 2.2 isnt horrible, but I ran a 12.9 at 109 with a 2.0 60 ft on street tires. Some Mickeys, control arms, and subframes and you'll be where you should be.

It helps transfer weight to the rear tires quicker, not to mention it's heavy, atleast mine's heavy.

should point out that this will effect your handling. No big deal if all you care about is drag racing. But If you plan on road racing or racing on a track then I wouldnt advise it. But like I said, If your main goal is 1/4 mile time, no biggie.

Just say u cut .3 off of your 60'.Thats mean u would run .6-.7 faster in the 1/4 mile.If u run just a 1.944 60'(.3 faster)U would be running about 12.7 or maybe even a 12.6.Every .1off of your 60' is .2 off of your 1/4 mile time.Thats the rule of thumb any ways.

My personal experience has been .1 reduction from the 60 ft = .1 reduction from the 1/4 mile.
