I won't put mine away until the trucks poor the salt and sand all over the roads. At that point, I'll decide what I want to do to it.

A couple helpful safety tips on removing your front passenger seat... put a towel over your door sill. That seat is heavy and the metal tracks on the bottom will scratch anything they come in contact with. And lastly... the passenger seat isn’t power so it has that plastic handle on the side to adjust the back of the seat. That is the cheapest/weakass piece of plastic crap in the whole car. If you even look at that wrong it will break and fall off. Don’t ask me how I know that 😡

I’m going to noodle on my 60’ too. A 1.09 would be good. 🤗
I may not like you anymore... :p

Maybe I should just try Demon springs first then. My car can't do the software stuff yours can so I will be a bit limited there but I'd be thrilled with low 1.4s on 60s. Were they legit Demon springs or one of the HHP or OST models called "Demon". Front and rear I'm assuming? I did search your thread before asking btw LOL.

I didn't think the sway bars were different?
I started out with oem demon springs first an didn`t notice any difference in the ride, I think as hpindy said you need to change shocks an struts an program to get the full benefit from the springs.
if I had to do it over again I would start with cradle lock out an AAD kit first.....best suspension upgrade I`ve done so far.

Hmmm, thanks @oilburner it's so hard to know what is gonna give me the best bang for the buck to do first.

I've also just read the Demon springs can lower the car a titch and cause the 4" aluminum DSS drive shaft to rub on the exhaust. Argh.

What are your average 60' times? Yours is running pretty strong for a 10% lower and 2.85 upper. Should be about the same boost I make 17-18ish?

Here is one negative side effect for some people . The factory demon springs will raise your car about 1/2 inch . I'm not sure about the others . I will get a few detailed shots of mine shortly. The other springs I can't comment on if they change the ride height or not . The springs are relatively cheap . The AAD arms are pricey but worth it for for certain goals to be achieved .
There is one thing I will not sacrifice is street manners . I Drive my car A LOT and I'm really happy with the out come that I have now .

I'll look for your suspension update in your thread. You're like me and mine's a street car first and foremost, I just want it to be a very fast street car ;)

I am also planning on playing with the 60'. My goal is to run 9.99 no tune leaving everything stock except suspension mods and maybe weight reduction. I have the ADD full drag pak suspension sitting in my office along with Demon springs. So far my best time all stock with just drag pak wheel and tire setup is 10.394. I have ran that time twice at two different tracks. I have not been able to get to the track lately because of some family stuff but I want to go at least two times because I know I can beat my PB in this weather. I want to hit 10.2s or lower before I start the suspension mods and I know the car can do it I just have to get my right foot to do it. I honestly think with the ADD and demon springs I can break into the 9s. I am looking for low 1.4 60s. My average 60s are 1.47-1.50. My best is 1.46

After that the plan is to copy Hpindy's setup and go faster then him with his own setup:p:ROFLMAO:
I can go tomorrow to pick up your car. I'm going to the track on Saturday with Motorhead and maybe Sunday also.
So I could help you out by trying to achieve your goals for you.😉
What are friends for.🤣

as hpindy said the oem demon springs raised the car, more so in the rear an different springs will have no effect on exh. or driveshaft touching........ as for 60 ft. last year the best was a 1.49 with just the 10% ati.
last winter I did so many things at the same time so hard to compare. this year with soft launches I got a 1.41
60 ft. launching off idle....... hope to get to the strip once more this fall an will try to get in to 1.3x 60ft. by being a little more aggressive.
this winter I`m doing 15 inch conversion with the billet spindles.;)
gotta stay ahead of that hpindy guy :LOL:

I know I know but I am having fun trying to see how fast the car can go as is. I know once I mod the car will be faster I just want to see how fast I can get the car to go first. I am still raising your tire pressure to 33 psi though.
