new track times with control arms and no swaybar

[steve75]

i installed MM lower control arms new factory uppers and removed my sway bar. i would have never guessed i would see this kind of result from these changes. heres a time prior to these changes.

2.11 60ft
13.04 1/4
114.1 mph

after these changes

1.78 60ft
12.11 1/4
114.7 mph

both runs are on mt et streets. with a little practice i hope to see some high 11"s

Its amazing what a good set of control arms can do for your 60 ft. Did you get the heavy duty or extreme duty control arms?

thats one hell of a difference

 

[MrXCESSIVESPEED]

Please tell more.......... Just a control arm change?????? Must of been doing on long arse 3rd gear scratch before to improve that much. Nice times though.

that's sick!!!! to anyone else... is this normal?????
if so i think i know what my next mod is!!!

That is NOT the norm trust me. You might gain some, but to expect almost a second from just control arms, you better have bad geometry to start with, as well as worn bushings.

Yea those improvements are not normal. However they do show the effectiveness of a good suspension. Note how the MPH didnt change hardly! This shows the motor isnt making any more power. The car is simply getting down the first half of the track that much quicker!

Excellent results.

i wasnt getting traction until i was into third gear . i think i gained the most from removing the front swaybar. im sure the control arms helped alittle too. i will tell you that the rearend fells alot tighter. the cotrol arms were money well spent.

good rule of thumb is every 10th off your 60ft is equal to 2 10ths in the quarter.sounds crazy but it has always proved correct for me and just take a look at his times and it works out as well.its all about the 60ft.good suspension will do wonders.
