Opinions on what to buy to lower ET...

No problem Steve.

Snubbers are not required on well set up SS spring cars. They clamp the crap out of the front segments to get rid of wrap. Snubbers are a band aid. The first thing I do is tear snubbers off serious race cars, clamps control that stuff. I also don't generally subscribe to the rt/lt spring set ups. I HATE the lean. I've run two left springs on a car (common) and had one with two rights at one time.

Think of the front spring segment, axle center to spring eye bushing, as a lever arm. Basically want the lever arm to be like a solid bar. Wrapping springs, a bowing right behind the front spring eye, takes rotational energy, energy that could be used to plant tire, classic Mopar chassis separation. The pinion wanting to climb up is the force that's being applied. Rubber front eye bushing will have the same effect, it crushes, energy taken to crush the bushing, isn't transferred to the tire or chassis. I've had ss spring cars require as much as 10* down pinion to get them to hook, that's a LOT of slop... Solid good SS spring cars maybe 6* down, cal trac cars 3* ( easier on u-joints too)

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind SS spring, would run them if given to me, but won't spend much money on them.

The other factor in all this is shocks. People cheap out on shocks. IMO, shocks, like converters in auto cars, are one of the single most important items you can apply to a drag car.

I don't want to hijack Flyfish's deal here. Front end is just as important as what's out back.
