Only downside is taking the coolant overflow bottle off to adjust the drivers side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have a complete pair of dedicated 90/10 struts that you could fit up for the drag meets then swap it back out for street duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rear is too low you are asking the rear tyres to hold traction while the front has all the weight on it - usually ends up in smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
