looking at Mike@AWDmotorports D2 coilovers and custom springs...can't ignore how smooth his car leaves. When I launch the front starts spinning, the rear squats, likely hits the bump stops and unloads the rear tires as well, makes for some terrible porpoising and loss of traction.

 

Just ordered a set as well. Plus its gonna shave some weight

 

you know I haven't even considered the weight difference, is it significant? Up to this point I haven't made an effort to shave weight but I'm think I might at least do the aluminum drive shaft and other light weight aluminum buschur bits that caught my eye a while back. Thus far I've only been focused on power power power and it's hight time to think more about the bigger picture.

 

I dont remember exactly but its 15-20 pounds savings total

 

I measured a 26lb difference between the stock suspension and the D2 coilovers.

 

26lb, nice! Thanks Ryu

 

Any time.

 

that's a significant drop in my book for sure and couple that with better launches...no brainer.

 

Chris, Were you on pump gas on this run or E85?

 

^ Wow, people dont even read the titles anymore

 

haha tell me about it!!

 

I know and I did but one of the guys here said its on 93 octane in the other forum.

 

Hey Chris was this on NawZZZ? Or Meth?




lol I kid I kid....

 

what are you running now?btw congrats

 

e85

last year I ran 10.41 @ 135 on 93 octane with the HTA3582 .63 no lifting to shift and good traction

this run was a 10.44 @ 139 on e85 with the HTA3586 .82 Lifting to shift and major traction problems.

thanks and it's some generic black lowering springs with no markings on them
