Dropped spindles and drag racing

[T Spool]

Does anybody with dropped spindles also drag race? I'm wondering how bad 60 ft times suffer? Since they use stock springs, does it even hurt launching at all? Guys with actual experience, I would love to hear from you. Thanks

I've got drop spindles on my sled. Follow the link in my signator. There are a couple of videoes there too.

Steve,

Can you share info on what shocks and springs you are running?

I have a friend that is having a real hard time 60ft with a lowered car (Drop spindles).

Just curious.

Thx!

Stock replacement springs and single adjustable QA1 shocks at all four corners. Global west control arm bushings in the front. H&r Parts adjustable upper arms in the rear with homade lowers with hard bushings, southside drop brackets on the lowers, 10.5 x 28 Mickey Thompson stiff sidewall slicks on 10" rims. It works great with slicks but won't work with drag radials.
