Thanks Doug, I see you have posted on UMTR. How is your car on the street with the Del-a-lum bushings and the lakewood shocks.
Are you using the stock control arms with the del-a-lum's?
I have 3 1/2 inches of travel with no suspension mods up front at all.

UMTR is a great site. Those guys know there manual transmissions over there! I just rebuilt my front suspension and removed the sway bar. I don't even notice the sway bar gone, but i don't carve corners either though. The 90/10 lakewoods work well as well. I had bought the calvert racing 90/10's but those were so loose they are NOT streetable! I used the del-a-lum bushings on my stock powder coated upper and lower control arms.I also used gw offset cross shafts so i can get my 4 1/2 degrees of caster. The suspension works really well now, it has instant response. I ended up with 4 inches of suspension travel which keeps the wheels pretty straight when the suspension is at it's limits. When are you going to the track with yours? It sounds like it's going to scoot!:yes:

With the old combo my car was very stable at the track, straight launches and rock stable on the big end. I was just wondering how it will react to the new power. Are you still running the dr's?

Yep. 275/60/15 et street radials. The Hoosier qtp 28/11.5/15's were not cutting it. I could not get them to work at all! I think you are going to be very happy with the et's your car is going to produce! You had the mph to go into the 11's before. I'm predicting 11.50 @118.:cool:

I have been running the dr's too, same size as yours. Yeah I hope it will run in the mid 11's It sure feels like it will, but you know how the seat dyno is lol.
