[PickleGT]

Question more for the NA guys buy maybe also low boost. What adjust front struts is everyone using at the strip Koni, Steeda, Kelltrac. or something different? Looking for options other than full coilover setup.

Strange is also an option for a proven drag strut.

It’s a coil over strut design.

yea that’s a full blown race coilover that doesn’t have provisions for sway bar, brakes, or abs sensor and costs $1500. I was looking for single adjustment replacement struts in the under 1k category

Kelltrac
Is the leader in s550 suspension. His front struts are great. It also gets you access to him. He is the man when it comes to tuning these cars suspension wise.

Do you have first hand experience with those struts? I’m curious how much improvement they give at the track

my buddy and I just installed them on his car. Ordering my set this week.
his car is VMP supercharged and raised the front then blew the tires off after a few feet at the track. Now it raises fast and slowly settles.

what do you want to know? If you don’t have rears, I would get those first.

I have vikings on the rear. last time at the track i got them dialed in so the car doesn’t pop up so hard after the hit the tire break loose. so don’t know if fronts are a waste of money at my power level

Tires are gripping hard! Sounds like its not carrying the weight transfer. Does it hook for 2-3 feet then spin?

 

[PickleGT]

currently at 6500 i’ve got it hooking and booking not spinning at any point . haven’t tried 4500 in months because my 60s where terrible at that rpm and the tires loved more rpm
