drag bags
Dont have any good pics yet, but I just made some home made drag bags. Footballs in LS springs should get rid of alot of weight transfer and get some good grip on the track

now...drag radials...

those footballs help immensely reducing weight transfer. 60 foot times still suck if your on all season tires though.

reduces squat and weight transfer to the rear. keep weight over your front tires for more traction

easy...to put them in empty them completely, jack up the rear of the car, slide them in from the bottom of the spring and fill it up. same process reversed to take them out

I have a spare set of springs so im just going to swap lol, but yes, like that!!

i ride on h&r sport springs, so with the front end down, and the back end on stock ls with footballs i will actually squat FORWARD and hopefully not back at all

pics uploading now

and i live 4miles from the track...so it wont be too bad

Keep us updated how this helps your times. I have been considering doing this, and went a bit different of a route, and I am not so sure how it worked.
