how did you cleanly attach your subframe to the subframe connectors? any pics?

When we got the car.. Tyler had already done the DSE sub connectors.. All we did is cut them to put in the new sub & made some new plates that we plug & perimeter welded.. I have no pics.. but If I happen to have the car on the lift this week.. I will snap some pics..

What tires were you running? Sizes as well? Car looked nice and balanced. Have you ever corner weighted it?

[Cris@JCG]

19x12 on 345-30-19 on the rear & 18x10.5 on 285-35-18.. The car has spent plenty of time on the scales.. People still can't believe that we run 850 lbs springs on the front & 600 lbs on the rear...

Car is going thru one last change.. 19x11 on 305-30-19 on the front.. I test drove the car today on the street today.. Car drives great but have some modifications to do to get full turning from lock to lock.. We will be testing on the Auto-X on Friday when Mike Musso from Big Muscle Drive will be taking it for a spin plus doing a feature story on Blu...

Wow! That is a lot of spring. What is the weight of the car? Must be a pretty stiff ride.

[Cris@JCG]

Car rides pretty smooth.. Changes direction pretty quick.. Comfortable @ 120 mph

3550 Ibs

4.11 gears in the rear makes the car hit the rev limter pretty darn quick!

Famous last words, LOL. Chris, you should know better than most.....they are never done,

Can't wait to see that video!

Those spring rates don't seem completely crazy to me - it's all about the damping.

I was on Hardcore Chevy & found this great action shot of Karl driving on the road coarse @ RTTC!
