Pettit Launch Kit...does it work?

Does the street launch kit, provided by pettit racing, have any noticable results? Is it worth the $260? Does anyone have it on their car and how much does it help?? Couldn't really find anything in the search

It makes a difference. Did not eliminate wheel hop completely, all the time.

I'll let you know soon. I'm the Pettit 3 rotor conversion thread person and I've had the kit installed on the car. Am supposed to pick it up this week. Will try to post results for you soon.

I've heard that it works as well as the Greddy launch suspension for about 1/3 the money.

Hey Brent,

Just waiting on the call from Cam to come pick up my car! Had a slight delay as Cam felt the 18X9 inch front wheels were too wide when combined with the Tien coli overs. He's ordered 8.5 as replacements. As Pettit is a dealer for Forgeline, this shouldn't take too long.

Can't wait!
