I didn't want to roll on really stiff drag springs for the back, and I drive 50 miles one way to the track. JD mentioned suspension limiters for the rear, so this is my interpretation of his explanation. Its just some 1/4" steel plate left over from my traction bars boxed in the wheel well with a bracket made of some of the angle iron left over from the traction bars. 3/4" threaded rod is jam nutted into the U-bracket and into the adjustable perch made of a washer and a large nut. The end of the rod was ground down so that the threads don't get stuck on the hole as it passes through. The nice thing is that you can dial in the amount of preload on the suspension. If I wanted, I can actually raise the rear of my car over an inch, but I don't trust having all the weight of the rear end on a nut and a washer. The bumpstops are from a Saab shock. I can put these in and out without taking the wheels off the car. Launches feel really solid now.





Just got these from HondaBoner-Tech:

There was plenty of polishing compound residue on the backside of the rim. Gotta look good trapping mid-15 second quarter miles, right?? :1

 

Holy ---- those look nice! Great interpretation I must say. Are there time differences on you 60ft times?

 

I only ran them one time, on reallly really shitty tires, but I think it definitely hooks a bit better than before. I also have traction bars up front. It should be really be noticeable when I strap on the slicks. Looking for at least some 1.8 sec. 60 foots.

 

nice

 

Those are nice. I like that idea. Nice work.

Ingalls rear upper camber links, poly, ungreased, perfect for a mid 12 second car......

The poly binds just enough to slow down the squat........

But you can adjust preload, aka corner weight the nose....... SWEET!

 

What is corner weighting the nose?

 

weight jacking

 

Thats gotta be a good thing right?, because I'm loading the front of the car up and preventing weight transfer to the back. The nice thing is that between these and the traction bars, I get absolutely no wheel hop, just a bunch of good old fashioned wheel spin.!

 

you don't wanna totally prevent it, just slow it down.

Too stiff and it unloads the front tires, you just sit and spin.
