I have a 99 gt convertible. I prefer traction off the line more than being low. I was thinking maybe V6 springs, or maybe controll arms and steeda sport springs. What do you guys think? [patriot]

Tires are and will be the limiting factor as far as straight line traction goes until you start digging into the 1.6X 60 ft range.

Looking at your avator, I think the best solution would be to keep a keg inyour trunk. That would kill two birds with one stone> [Big Grin]

I can see where u are commin from with the spring idea. I myself am usin 4cyl springs in the front and GT springs in the rear, and it is givin me some nice transfer. All i can say is give it a shot...put the V6 springs in the front and keep the GTs in the rear....that way u get the transfer goin. And hey, worse come worse, u gotta put the stock GT springs back up front [Smile]
