Today a friend of mine call me after seeing a pic of my car online,to tell me my front struts had all the preload out of them. Hes correct, I remember now lowering the car when motor was out so it wouldn't sit so high. Going to try putting a lot back in for next outing. Had me some fun at SGMP this weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnfJwk_ehZw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Please let me know

A slick is more forgiving and works with less then perfect rear suspension. Brett Miller W9 cnc'd heads STR Chassis fabraction
