I'm having issues with my U-joint located at the rear of the driveshaft hitting the bottom of the car under heavy torque, its left a few dents but no damage to the driveshaft or U-joint.
Car is a 1992 lx
suspension mods: Ford Racing aluminum driveshaft, eibach pro kit springs, aftermarket rear upper and lower control arms, welded torque boxes and 265/50r15 Mickey drag radials.
I was thinking of putting stock V8 springs all the way around to raise it back up a bit.
Car is putting down around 450 rwhp and is used for drag racing so if anyone recommends any good drag springs that will keep the car at relatively stock height it would be greatly appreciated ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

11.8 @ 115 mph @ Sac Raceway
411 rwhp 402 trq (old set up)
540 rwhp 517 rwtrq (new set up)
ET's to come

I just sold my rears for 40 to illwill in San Jose. Find him and see what's up because he bought my stock ones because he wants to get rid of his stock 1 coil cut springs.

I was slow to take the hint, so I'm taking a break from CAFords for the rest of the month. Now excuse me while I enjoy some cereal. Mmmmm Mmmmm good. Who else wants to join me?
