gday wade, try penrith wholesale suspension, they should be able to sort your front shocks out for you.
cheers, justin.

btw, how much pressure are you running in your slicks? looks as if you could do with some more.

Horribly there for drag use, there is a company that have made a shock you can switch between the 2 by changing a setting.
Fairly pricey too.

SO basically if you punt the car hard on the road dont bother or use them at the strip only. Would the tein adjustable suspension be any benifit over stock.

Tein is a firmer ride designed for circuit track work, 90/10's are right at the other end in ride handling there designed to let the car come up in the front as easily as possible, on the road they almost feel like no shock.
Having soft springs is the back helps the launch heaps also, your car squats of the line there by not unloading on to the tyres of the start line.

I thought they might be able to be softened up a fair bit.
