Didn't do a thing to my suspension. I am actually running a completely stock suspension right now, right down to the bushings that came with the car 15yrs ago. I ran a total of 16 times that day, 14 of them on slicks. It was no more than 40-45* outside at the time. I ran about 12psi in the slicks, and on the 13.88 run I heated those slicks up better than I had all day. I had a buddy (who owned the slicks) stand off to the side where I could see him, and tell me to keep spinning them. When he felt there was decent smoke coming off of them, and that they were warmed up enough, he told me to roll out of the burnout. I have noticed that anytime I race with slicks, the more consistent the burnout, the more consistent the run. I was cutting 2.1's for the majority of my runs, a few 2.0's and then finally got it down into the 1.9's and then the 1.81. If you are running slicks, play with the air pressure, and work on the burnout. BTW, we're using the 26x8 MT ET's. Hope this helps.
Chris
