Chasis setup - bump stops

Last time i went to the strip i was managing best 60 feet time of 2.35 with bad tyres.

I am on stock susp at the moment and want to improve before i go to the strip. On launch the car is squatting from the back making the front of the chasis rise reducing traction.

I am going to have the anti lift plates in soon, got yoko advan a048r for the front. Is there any specific bump stops that will slot straight in the rear susp of the ep? I'm thinking of whacking on two depending on size/how thick they are to eliminate the squatting of the back of the car as much as i can. Anyone know of any particular bump stops that will work?

I just went down to my local suspension/bush store and checked out what they had. Your going to want something long or double them up giving less than 1inch travel when their in. They still cost a few $ though. A friend of mine just got a tube of solid plastic, cut to size then drilled out a centre hole, effectivey locking the susp in place.

Worked well on my car but were nothing compared to coil overs with hard springs. With the coilovers and harder springs the car now stands up level on the rear suspension.

Max out the castor when you get your antilift kit too.

Good Luck
