im going to the track friday and just got my homemade drag pack all together, and i have the car lowered very far, and i figured i'd put it back up a lil bit for the track for weight transfer. is this too tall in the rear? it might also settle a little. i pulled it up about 15 feet and backed it back up. any input is appreciated! thanks

It's hard to say from that pic and if the car hasn't been driven after the suspension was unloaded, but it looks like you're running a 26" ET street from what I can tell. Not sure if you have a reference point of where you were or what stock is. I am lowered ~3/4" from stock all the way around to lower the drag yet keep the rake. I'd make sure the changes to suspension height didn't affect your alignment/contact patch depending on how drastic the change is. Like the screws, good luck at the track!

Keep in mind that our cars have a little rake(lower in front than the rear) to help keep the car stable at higher speeds.
