    You can work on the suspension but I believe as is you should be able to hit at least a solid 2.1 with much possibility of 2.0s...

    Just take it back and practice more... because even if you go out and buy $100 million dollars worth of suspension if you still launch it wrong you will spin [img]smile.gif[/img]

      I swear by Spohn's stuff. The quality is amazing and the price is really good concidering how nice their stuff is.

        i am a big bmr fan. i have used spohn stuff on my old 91RS. works really well, but tends to be on the heavy side.

          did you log your runs?

          what psi were you boosting and what injectors do you have? and what kind of tune do you have on your car?

            his mph is definitly off. 2.2-2.3 second 60's are pretty bad but for the suspension work done its not difficult to see that happening...and 6-9mph gain isnt really that bad which is what i'd be looking at normally...but thats not to say it couldnt/shouldnt be better...also your car is probably a pig weight wise which is another factor holding you back. I personally had spohn lca's and the standard steel BMR TQ arm and like the quality of both...the std TA is very heavy though and from what i hear even the chormoly one is pretty heavy as compared to the stock piece, but it adds so much rigidity its well worth it...or you could go with the trac pack which i hear works well.

              Your MPH is extremely low for a turbo car.

              It is your first time out so I do not expect good 60's..... you gotta learn the car.

              LCA's boxed will def help w/ traction/ wheel hop.

              Hit the dyno and wideband tune it
