Are you running a 12 bolt? If so then keep a soft launch cause at that power level it won't last long.

i love them, it would be stupid to pay the same price for a single adjustable kit imo. plus theyre built in the usa and have a good warranty. The owner of MWC went out of his way to contact me and spent a long time on the phone talking to me about suspensions his customer service alone sold me.

Now you just have to setup the shocks and all the drive angles. When the angles are right the car will hook. My front shock setup is pretty much useless since it is chained down, no extension at all. The rear suspension setup hooks the car.

I would change the converter long before the gears. A lot of people under estimate a converter.

Exactly he was really cool and I could hear him taking notes haha so like i said about ptc I like when I buy something and the shop actually cares. So far bullseye mwc and ptc have all been great!!

That's nuts that your front shocks are basically useless.
When you said chained down does that just mean so it won't spring up and wheelie? I have decent rear shocks but nothing special its going to take a lot of adjustment on lca torque arm front and rear shocks to get it right but it will get there eventually. Lol

And I agree about the converter. I like the 3. 08s and I have a ton of slip already at mid power so that's what needs to be addressed next. Tim at ptc said he would buy back my aati so that really impressed me. Ill wait a couple weeks to get that so I can save up a little cash. Spending 6-1000 bucks a pop stings haha

$650 is not bad if it's being done in the car and he supplies the gears.

He does great work too but for now i'm keeping the 308s i think they are a good set up and once i get the new coilovers i'll get the converter next and i think that will really make everything work nicer.

Quick question when i ran over 135 they mentioned to me i needed to get a neck brace and gloves. I just bought the sfi brace but do i need sfi gloves? i've been at the track a ton and never seen guys wearing gloves. Unless it was some huge event
