I have a newly installed gnx suspention .. And when i launch my car it hops of the ground and slams hard at the bottom .. I know its hitting the stops at the top and the edges of the brackets .so my question is .has anyone else had this issue & what shocks are you running to clear this up .. My car is around 600 hp & i know i wont be able to stop the hop but i should be able to get her out of the hole a little smoother .. Any input would be welcomed .. Thank's

Put some squirells in the trunk! :biggrin:
I hope you are able to get it sorted out, Oilman.
P.S. I saw the pictures of that set up, MAN that's cool!

no air bags .. It has center risers to hold the springs in place so when the car rises it doesnt dump the springs on the ground . So i would have to modify the set up to make bags work .. I am running bilstiens but they hit really hard .. I need something with a little more rebound & resistance .. Im thinking some coil overs .. But it might make it ugly ..
will be at my home in scottsdale this winter .. We can get together & you can see it first hand . Then i will scare the chit out of you when i take you for a ride .. Seat belts will be needed so your head doesnt bounce of the headliner .. The squirell is in the driver's seat ..

All three are things of the past......
ABC is still open, but now has a bar and a shooting or three every year..
Mr. Lucky's (once owned by Waylon Jennings) is now a "Hispanic" venue, or it was the last time I passed by. It might be shuttered by now.
There are two "Cruise on Central" events a year, Oct. and March, other than that, cruising has been dead for a long time around here.
But there are several impromtu car show and shines all over town. You should take your car to the Pavillions in Scottsdale on any given Saturday night. It's a free cruise-in show so you gotta get there by 6 or it tough to find a spot to park.
I don't know if you remember, but there used to be car shows out in front of Denim & Diamonds in Phoenix in the early 90's. I was a manager at that bar back then and had an '86 GN.

I'm pretty certain the AZ stores were sold to Jiffy Lube, if I'm thinking correctly, wasn't there one on Priest just south of Elliot ?
I work at Scottsdale and the 101 so I must be close to where your house is.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

If you still have the front sway bar in place try removing it to get a little better weight transfer. Different shocks will help as well.
Bryan
i started the company on thomas near second .. then opened one in chandler then mesa in front of the 4x4 off road center accross from the trailer park .when i sold out it was just the three i started . but i did hear that donald leon grew the company to over 30 stores before it got into debt and went down .. my company now is called instant lube .. i took that from the old instant tune that i owned at country club & main in mesa .. i still own that building on a triple net rented out to a guy that sells lawn fixtures .. same corner as the travel lodge and the brake shop accross from heros samiches
front sway bar is long gone .. im gonna toss a set of coil overs on her and see how she reacts to it sunday for some et bracket racing at oc ..
i will do that in the am when i get to the track .. but im sticking a set of coil overs on it today so i might have it fixed .. we will see .. the way it is .. the car is really brutal when she launches . and a pain in my back when it lands . but sticks to the center of my lane so at least it's strait .looking at the gaurdrail after a launch is just not fun anymore ..
I don't think the coilovers will solve the issue but get thm on and then get a vid. If you, get it from the side and back it will give a better idea of what's really goin on.
Not unless your holding 12psi on the line with an e-brake launch . I think you'll be alright .. I went with adjustable shocks and cured my issue .. So much smoother now im going to try 15psi .. And try not to blow up the tires .. But it does stick pretty good with slicks .. Its putting down some good power with out issue now .just a little hop
