Most people around here say to use the 4cyl. springs in the back so the weight transfers to the back of the car. You want the front springs to store alot of energy and the 4cyl. ones don't do that well. Gasman from vancouverstangers.com uses them only in the back and his car does pretty well.
The sportsman pros worked well on my car, my 60' times on my first time out were 2.0's with a best of 2.001 (keep in mind my stiff springs and Tokicos) on a day when the other racers were saying that the track wasn't hooking well. I've already gained 2/10ths. and I'm going to try running less air pressure and see what happens, I ran 18psi last time, someone told me to try 10-14psi. Also, once I got it hooked off the line it was glued, no more pedalling the first 100 feet and I could powershift 2nd and not put it up in smoke.
I'm addicted to the track and I'm considering building a drag suspension instead of my setup.
