Convo pro's?

[quickstang1983]

I recently picked up a set and mounted them only to find out they stick out more than I figured they would. Besides air shocks or air bags in the springs, is there any other method to keep them from tearing up my quarters???
Any help is greatly appreciated!

at the track or just driving?
if the instant center and anit-squat is right they should never touch at the track

Both actually. When launching, the car obviously torques over to the passenger side more than the driver side because I don't have my anti-roll bar hooked up yet. I have yet to try a hard launch but just pushing down on the hatch creates contact with the tires.

Any other ideas?

I had the same prob when I turned corners. I will never use centerlines again. Mine still rub when I turn but my car lifts when I leave and doesn't squat.

What did you do to keep it from squating hard? The 26 inch tires help out a bit but if I dead hook it will squat down on top of the tires. I think I'll just try airbags and really loose struts up front so it will rise better. I have adjustable Konis all around but the fronts don't seem to rise very well even on the softest setting.

I love the convo pros but I hate the fuckin' backspacing on them! I wish they had some that wouldn't stick out.

I use traction bars in the rear, it raises when I take off.

that is with a 28 inch tire

It doesn't look like it squats at all in that pic. Leaves nice though...

this is the car sitting on a 275 drag radial so the car lifts when I leave. what are your 60 ft times if you dont mind me asking

This was mine with a 28 inch tire but with the right offset wheels(prostars).

My 60's are usually around 1.65-1.70.
