I really like the BBK progressive rates I got. Great handling and pretty smooth ride

Well feathering the clutch I hook up good on my 17" rims, but I also have upper and lower control arms. If i drop the clutch I do a nice smoke show. Also when the car tracks straight even when smoking em

i had the eibach drag launch kit in my mach with lakewood 90/10's up front and agx's in the rear.i also had sway bar removal.for launching the car it was beautifull.everyday driving was also nice and comfy.but i had to keep it cool on the freeway on ramps cause it felt like the car was gonna roll over.but keep in mind i had my swaybars out as well.

but for launching it was awesome to be able to just dump the clutch at 6k and all i would get was a chirp and a road that temporarily disappeared.


*edit*oh yeah the car sat about stock gt height.i was on cut bbks before so it looked like a truck to me
