    This was originally asking a question about if the bushings latemodel sold were for the diff side but I called them and found it out. I am trying to decide between the Granatelli Weight Jackers and the HPM Mega-bite Jr's, anyone have any opinions?

    If noone replied ill just order the granatelli's, thanks!


    EDIT: Ahhh I just looked at some griggs stuff, I plan on running 15" Draglites with slicks when I go to the track and want to know which would be better:

    http://www.griggsracing.com/product_info.php/cPath/10_1030_2055_3810/products_id/76

    or

    http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product2_10001_10002_753297_-1

    I am not sure I need the ajustability feature of the Granatelli arms so if I don't should I get the Griggs?

    I plan on running 15" Draglites, 8" width and I plan on running something like 275/50/15 will those fit with the unajustable Griggs LCAs'?

    Those are the biggest tires I could really imagine ever having to run so if I don't need to get anything bigger then ill get the Griggs.

    Thanks!

    Bump, a quick yes and I hit the order button.

    This is the last thing I need before I get the juice!

    I'm sorry dude, I dunno 15" wheel sizes anymore. If a 275 17" is the same as a 275 15" I'd say go for it :shrug:

    Don't be so impatient though, wait for someone who knows.

    Width isnt the problem, i am looking for height. Atleast the way I understand it is that you by ajustable LCA's so that you can fit a taller tire in the rear and if a 275/50/15 will fit with non-ajustable LCA's then I will get the Griggs.

    Anyone? I NEED to order these tonight, I have searched but the only things I can come up with are width wise not height...someone said that a 275/50/16 can fit on their ponies fine so does that mean it will fit on my 15's fine too? I am unsure of how the 50 measurement works.

    the 50 is percentage sidewall based on the width of the tire. so a 275/50/16 will be 275mm wide, with a 137.5mm tall sidewall. on a 16" rim thats about 27"tall, or about the size of a stock tire. a 275/50/15 is about 26" tall. for comparison. most street classes (from what ive seen anyway) limit to a 28" tire (a theoritcal 275/50/17, or a 28x10.5x15 would fit the bill) and stock control arms can handle those. anyway, afaik the purpose of adjustables to help raise or lower the backend to help geometry at launch.

    Thanks a lot for your help! I was told by someone on this board that ajustables were only used to fit bigger tires...can someone clear that up?

    If I don't get an answer within an hr I will just order the Griggs.
