Well im tearing down my 96 Trans Am for the winter replacing the rearend with a 9" , UMI Stage 5 front suspension and replacing the street rims/tires for slicks and skinnies .... i want to replace my lowering springs to improve my 60 ft ... what is everyone using ?
alot of Nitrous (on a Forged stroker engine with a great tuner) thanks to Nitrous Outlet .
Window switch is 3000-6000rpm's , but damn i cant get her going ( i even tried over-gearing to get her moving) now im going over board before the LTX shootout to turn the #'s i should be !
stock springs with QA1 12ways in the rear with spohn drag bar. best is 1.509, normally some where in the mid 1.5s, stock LS1 with bolt ons, 3110#s, not making much power with only 113MPH...
__________________ Lots of different things going on
I have stock springs with QA-1's in the front and rear. The rear springs I do not run spring isolaters on them so it sits about an inch lower in the rear. I just put some rubber tubing around the top of the spring. The front I lowered on the QA-1's about an 1" to 1.25". I cut from 1.5 to 1.6's regularly.

Stock rear springs, 300 lb qa1 front springs, r series front shocks and standard 12 way rears and the car will go a 1.35 on a good day, 1.40 on a shitty prep.
Looking at changing things a little bit in the future, but it will be a $ thing to see what I can float when I am ready to get back to it.

Pretty much the plan I am following, 300 pounders up front, stockers in the rear and the QA1 to adjust the transfer!

Oh and if no one has mentioned, a good drag swaybar. TRZ has a trick peice that I just found out about, or you can get a BMR/Wolfe style bar to keep the rear from mushing to the right.

Times and 60ft. in sig. I'm on stock shocks and Eibach Pro lowering springs. There's an air bag in the right rear and a few suspension pieces too. I'm thinking when I need more traction I'll keep the rear springs and put the stock springs back up front with some double adjustable shocks. For now, if it works I'll leave it alone.

I like the look of that TRZ unit, just hard to get it over the Spohn Drag Bar I already have but you never know....it is lighter and looks to be just as effective.....

eibach lowering springs here. 1.35 60'. I don't think the springs matter as much as the shocks. I run QA1's single adj. with good results. And a thicker rear sway bar helps alot too.

Eibach lowering springs (1.35 60ft.), maybe we're on to something here.
