[QUOTE="robvas, post: 16946758, member: 199382"] Looking for more straight line traction (aren't we all) Current setup: 2003 Convertible 315/35-17 Toyo TQ drag radial on 17x10.5 replica wheels Stock K member/control arms Full-length subframes BMR Lower Control Arms, Single Adj, Poly/rod End QA1 adjustable UCA Stock front and rear sway bars 3.27 SRA Bilstein front struts Tokico (?) rear shocks No quad shocks Blue lowering springs (BBK? H&R?) I'm not sure of the springs so I don't know the rates, but the fronts don't feel like a 550lb/in spring or anything crazy. I have zero complaints about the ride quality as it sits now, handling wise or comfort wise. I know I'm not going to hook in 1st on drag radials but I'd like to firm second up a bit. Even if I roll into it I'll blow the tires off once in a while. Also would not mind raising the car up a half an inch or so. I basically drive the car just to cruise around a bit. No intentions of "canyon carving" etc but I also don't want a full drag setup with 90/10's etc The simplest thing I can think of doing is finding a set of stock springs for the front, cutting half a coil off and then getting a Koni yellow or Strange adjustable front strut and setting it loose. I can then firm it back up in a couple minutes if I want. Am I correct that allowing the front to come up a bit will help transfer some weight to the rear and give me more traction? [/QUOTE]
