My son said the same thing. Are you using the stock wheels with your MTs?
No, I bought another pair of 17x9 chrome bullitts to match.

Cool, I took my car last Friday for the FIRST time since getting it in January. Cold as heck--mid 40s--and awful track conditions for us street tire folk. Lots of folks, slicks or not, we're having trouble hooking up. I spun tires madly in 1st and 2nd and had trouble getting out of the 14s. My son and I have an 86 GT we're building for track use, but like a fool I had to run my new car and I'm hooked again. But other than another set of wheels with drag radials and the LCAs, gears, short shifter and Steeda springs (oh yeah, plus headers and xpipe), I'm just looking to have a 12 second street car with the drag slip to prove it.

One of the club members said the video from Friday came out OK. If my run where I just dodged the left wall is clear, I'll post it. Swear I saw Jesus on that one...

Here is a link to some other pics from the track... if you look real hard, you can see the drag radials there, too:

Nope, the 2nd run didn't focus. I have the first run, but that's spinning the first 3 gears before hookup with a 14.18. Not worth posting...

I still recommend the non adjustable with polyurethane bushings. The race version are geared more towards someone who is racing all the time. It is more or less a solid mount (teflon lined rod ends) without bushings so you can understand the noise factor of driving on the street with these. The non adjustable I recommend are going to be way stronger than the factory arms, which will eliminate any control arm flex that is happening. At the same time, you are replacing the factory rubber bushings with a polyurethane bushing that will not give as much. So you have a more solid piece with a stiffer bushing at the same time which creates less deflection and equals more traction.

This is what is working for me. Pleased with this purchase.
