    Iam going to "clearance" this weekend.
    Does it have a stock rear cover or a aluminum braced one? The after market ones often hit

    ^ LOL...that's great. I agree, it shouldn't be squatting that hard. Do some research on how to measure the instant center of your car, then see where you're at and what can be done to improve on your set-up.

    I've never seen a 4 link set-up ever have instant percentage rise, they al squat first on the hit, might not be much maybe 1/2" but they do squat then start to rise.


    I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.

    exactly what i was thinking. hitting on a bump is one thing but all weight transfer on a launch should be from the front end lifting.
