To those with their car lowered.

Do you feel that having the car lowered has affected your launches and et's at all?

nope, ya ever notice how low top fuel dragsters are???

 

[HEMI LOL]

i dont think it matters how low it is(to an extent) and how good your rear setup is. LCAs, panhard, ect.

Our cars aren't exactly set up the same I don't think...Can anyone clarify?

I always thought that lowering the car would decrease the amount of rear squat.

it does, but it go with a drag bags, or a drag spring, you could potentally have your cake and eat it too. id say lower than 2in and your starting to really hurt your short times.

my car doesnt even squat lol (sportlines).....plan on getting some LCA's and LCA relocation kit.....just got my panhard bar.... hopefully that helps me out

best bet... check the list in Drag section, find someone that actually drags their car with as similar mods as you have, and pm them on thier setup.

I am lowered 1.5 in the front, 1.75 in the back. All FRPP corner carver suspension except the BMR rear LCA relo bracket and BMR rear LCA's. I drive the car to work and it corners like crazy. At the strip, it just flat out takes off. When I had a stick, I was cutting 1.6 60' times with 320 RWTQ and a 3900 lbs race weight.

I think I have the best of both worlds.

I will find a video from back then and post it.

Here you go... 7000 RPM WOT hole shot. The car rocks back ever so slightly, then just luanches. Not bad for a mega bloated car with NSR cams, 4.10 gear, intake and a tune.

I have Upper and Lower Control Arms, Eibach Sport Springs, and with my drag setup, my car has a huge rake. The front splitter is 2" from the ground.

All that said...my car still cuts 1.47-1.5 short times.
