what do these thing run in the quarter in a c3. anyone got any timeslips?
If I could keep my front wheels on the ground, I might be able to go the whole 1/4. Easy 13's, 12's with slicks are not uncommon.

That sounds like a simple (good) solution. Good luck on the coil-overs.

Got the mount adapters from S&P, crossmemeber from Bowtie Overdrive. I am running A/C. Used S&P acc drive, Sanden Compressor to accomplish this. Be forewarned, it was the most expensive part of the project save the engine, but they go make nice stuff. It's much cheaper to do what Scooter, Budman, 70ls1 have done. They made their own but I don't know who if anyone is running A/C.

No a/c yet. I think I'm going to run the S & P stuff myself. Not a big priority, since I can count on one hand how many times I've used it in the past on one hand. I'm 6'2", so putting the t-tops on is the last think I want to do.
