Try the Skunk2 drag spring with koni adj. struts. No squat with that setup.

I tried using rubber inserts in the stock springs when running old 1.5L setup. I LOST almost a tenth in the 60 foot times. But that was 4-5 years ago when I was WAY underpowered.

i guess it is possible that the rubber stoppers hurt you because the lack of power wasnt able to overcome the stiffer suspension.

I have the Skunk2 drag launch (900psi) in the rear. Works at the track. Feels like you're gonna die on the street though.....

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!

We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!

BTW I was using SIX per side.

IMHO my setup is hooking fine, only thing I'd change is to 22x8x14 slicks on 8" rims. Then I'd ahve to start worring about axle breakage.
