Just saying I love getting traction but I would love the car too look lower as well , and with the m/ts on the track will it make that much difference?? And what about everyday driving will I be all over the road and getting taken at the lights by lesser cars? Cos if I hav to choose one I would pick having traction but would ideally love both ;-) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80857-fg-best-set-up-for-the-drags/#findComment-1264519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
