Belltech for serious drag racing

I have a Belltech kit that I decided not to put on my driver.

I was wandering if anyone has tried one on a race car. Im talking about the 2" fro. spindles and the 1.5" drop rear springs.

Other than changing up the Instant center a little, what other problems would one run in to at the track with it.

It would look sooo sweet on my white car with the Welds.

I am currently running:

CE 90/10's in font
No front sway bar
ATR rear bar
BMR non-adj tubular upper/lower CA's
Stock springs all around
airbags

28/10/15 slick

Anyone tried to go fast with a lowered car? I had spindles on my old SII car, but it was a ladder bar setup w/ adj. coil-overs in back. It worked fine.

TIA,

John

I have the 2" dropped spindles and the 1.5 rears by Belltech on my car I had to chop a 1/2 coil out of the rears to make it sit right because i used the old front springs. Then after i got the I/C right and went to a Wolfe bar ive had a best 60ft of 1.36 off the foot brake. I run the 90/10 shocks but the big thing was notching the frame rails for my 12.5 X 28 ET streets and 10.5X28 slicks on 10" rims Also i needed to change my front wheels This maybe only on my car with Wilwood front brakes that push out the front wheels 1/2" Its a bitch to get it real low without rubbing and i also jacked the Q-panels out 1" to clear the wheel opening lips after rolling the lip... I wish it was lower
