Default Big props to TRZ, showing how 275 drag radials and suspention work!! vid

Talked to Todd over at TRZ today about some issues I have been fighting, he is a stand up guy that knows how suspention is really suposed to work. This is A quick vid of their turbo car, almost identical to mine. Watch the rear tires and body as he cuts the brake loose, car does not squat at all it pounds the tire into the ground. I got some work to do this week (time to clean my garage), and i'll give it try next week. They have been a 1.20 60ft I have been a 1.34 60ft at best.

All radial car stuff Ive seen was set up STIFF, you cant even push down on the back of the car and move the susension. Crazy, you'd think it should be the other way around to soften the hit on the tires. Seems like tires and front suspension is doing the work > on high HP, small tired cars

True story, I've seen him out at Bradenton multiple times.. Always exciting to watch.

I heard the wagon has an 8.8 under it? I just picked up an 86 MCSS and would really like to get rid of the 7.625 rear end. TRZ use to have a swap kit but now the only one I can find is from baseline suspensions.

Sorry for the off brand question.

Pretty sure I seen your car on the trailer last night... Did you make some passes? How is it hooking up?
