I love the look of them but at 700rwhp they are the weakest link in my suspension. They don't ride any rougher than the pro kit I had on my 06 but they don't let the weight transfer. I don't rub on anything other than tall speed bumps. I do have an exhaust "clang" because the decrease the space between the rear axle and underbody. But with a 3" mandrel bent exhaust that is v-banded in lol it happens. I'm getting BMR springs from Kelly. BTW guys I get Beechbend updates texted to me as of now you guys know they closed t&t this weekend because we have rain and snow but they plan on opening up next weekend and its a 5 day weekend for me woo hoo!

Not going to argue with any of that ... I don't do much drag racing though, and by the time I've out-classed the pro-kits it will be time for coil-overs.

I hardly ever bottomed out on anything with sportlines. Just had to be various. My next one will most likely have pros or k springs. Have not decided. They can be a pain to deal with. But you can't beat the looks.

Heck I'm even considering a airlift system. LOL nothing like going from drag race to road to show drop at the push of a button! I think they've been pretty impressive from what I've seen.

Forecast for Beechbend T&T is 60 and mostly sunny this next weekend!

I want to go so bad, but I'm going to have to wait til atleast the following weekend if I can get off work. I'm doing my best to try to talk any of my coworkers into working that Saturday for me lol.

SVT meet in Lexington Saturday night for whomever doesnt go to the track

Where in Lexington will this be?

Wouldn't you have to adjust the panhard bar each time you change the rise height?

I don't think you would want to remove the panhard bar ... I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that this would allow for a lot of lateral stress on parts that weren't designed for those loads. Also, this wouldn't really solve anything, it would just allow the body to sit wherever over the rear end - which is probably going to be anywhere but where you want it to be.
